Mumbles (community)

The Mumbles viewed from Oystermouth Castle

Mumbles is a community (civil parish) in the City and County of Swansea, Wales, covering the district of the same name. It includes the local government electoral wards of Mayals, Newton, Oystermouth and West Cross.[1]

Local administration was carried out by Oystermouth Urban District Council until 1918, when powers were handed to Swansea Council. Mumbles Community Council was created in 1983 to restore a level of local administration to the district. The community elects a community council of 18 councillors.[1]

The community council made the news in early 2016 when they considered taking legal action over criticisms made about them on the social networking website, Streetlife.[2]
