The electoral ward of Bôn-y-maen sits on the north‑eastern edge of the city of Swansea in south‑west Wales. It is a mix of suburban housing and pockets of open land, forming part of the local government area of the City and County of Swansea and providing a distinct local community within the wider urban area.
The name Bôn-y-maen roughly means “base of the stone” in Welsh, and the ward has a recognisable community identity with a healthy Welsh‑speaking presence, local schools and clubs. Like many parts of Swansea it has seen economic and social change since the decline of heavy industry, so recent regeneration and community initiatives are a notable feature alongside the everyday green spaces and neighbourhood amenities that define the area.
