Llanishen is the name of an electoral ward in the north of Cardiff, capital city of Wales. It covers the community of Llanishen (and until 2022 Thornhill, which was created from the northern half of Llanishen in 2016).
Llanishen is bordered to the north by the Lisvane and Thornhill ward, to the west by Rhiwbina, to the south by the Heath ward and to the southeast by Cyncoed.
The Llanishen ward elects two (formerly four) councillors to Cardiff Council and has been represented by a mixture of Conservative and Labour councillors.
Between 2014 and 2017 Llanishen councillor Phil Bale was the leader of Cardiff Council.[2] On 2 August 2019 Phil Bale announced he was stepping down as councillor triggering a by-election on 21 November 2019.[3] Labour subsequently lost its seat to the Conservative Party.
