Electoral ward

Parc a'r Mynydd remains an electoral ward for Holyhead Town Council, electing two town councillors.[2]

Until 2012 the Parc a'r Mynydd electoral ward sent a county councillor to the Isle of Anglesey County Council. Following the Isle of Anglesey electoral boundary changes Parc a'r Mynydd became part of a larger Caergybi ward, which includes three other wards of the Holyhead community.[3]

From the 1999 elections the county ward elected Independent county councillors.[4] Ice cream salesman John Victor "JV" Owen was county councillor from 1995 to 1999 (for the Labour Party) and 2008-2013 (as an Independent). He was also chairman of the Isle of Anglesey County Council and mayor of Holyhead.[4][5]
