The electoral ward centred on Rhoose sits on the southern coast of the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, taking in the village, coastal fringes such as Rhoose Point, and the suburban edges that fringe Barry. It combines a busy commuter and local community with obvious aviation influence thanks to nearby Cardiff Airport, while sandy coves, holiday parks and a marina-style feel around the coastline give it a seasonal tourism character.
Historically the area shifted from farming and fishing to more residential and transport-led development in the 20th century - the former airfield is a reminder of that change - and today the ward elects councillors to the Vale of Glamorgan council, with a strong local identity centred on village amenities, schools and community groups that balance coastal leisure with everyday commuter life.
