Bigyn is an electoral ward in the town of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is largely residential, with a mix of post‑war council estates, private housing and local shops and schools serving a compact urban community, and benefits from easy access to the town's services and the wider coastal and industrial landscape of South Wales.
The ward still bears the imprint of Llanelli's industrial past - tinplate, coal and light manufacturing helped shape its growth - and today sees local regeneration efforts, active community groups and a strong local identity. Both Welsh and English are spoken, and the area combines social and economic challenges with grassroots initiatives to improve housing, amenities and employment prospects.
