Clwyd South (UK Parliament constituency)

Boundaries

The constituency straddled the authorities of Denbighshire and the borough of Wrexham. Main population centres included the suburbs of Ruabon, Chirk, Rhosllannerchrugog, Cefn Mawr and Coedpoeth to the south of the city of Wrexham, in addition to Llangollen and Corwen further up the Dee valley to the west. Until the 2010 election, the constituency included a small part of the preserved county of Powys. This anomaly was resolved by the Boundary Commission for Wales with the boundaries first used in 2010.

The constituency comprised the following electoral wards:

• From Wrexham: Overton, Bronington, Dyffryn Ceiriog/Ceiriog Valley, Chirk North, Gwenfro, Johnstown, Llangollen Rural, Marchwiel, Penycae, Penycae and Ruabon South, Plas Madoc, Ponciau, Ruabon, Bryn Cefn, Minera, Brymbo, Coedpoeth, Cefn, Chirk South, Esclusham, New Broughton, Pant
• From Denbighshire: Corwen, Llangollen, Llandrillo
