An exercise showing Merthyr Tydfil's council if elected by STV, what sort of ward structure would work
Merthyr Tydfil Electorate 45081 Cube root 35.59 36 councillors quota 1252.25
1. Treharis & Bedlinog Electorate 8247 Quota 6.585 7 Councillors
2. Troedyrhiw & Ynys Owen Electorate 6894 Quota 5.505 5 Councillors
3. Y Dref Electorate 5998 Quota 4.789 5 Councillors
4. Dowlais Electorate 5014 Quota 4.003 4 Councillors
5. Cyfarthfa Electorate 5457 Quota 4.3577 4 Councillors
6. Faenor & Parc Electorate 6176 Quota 4.931 5 Councillors
7. Gurnos & Penydarren Electorate 7295 Quota 5.825 6 Councillors
Faenor & Parc is an awkward shape but the largest part of the electorate of Faenor live in Cefn Coed y Cymmer, which is in that narrow neck joining on Park Ward - so it more a natural fit than Gurnos or Dowlais.
