In 2021 a large number of proposals by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales were confirmed, to reduce the number of wards to Swansea Council, from 36 to 32, but with the number of councillors increasing from 72 to 75. This was designed to make the ratio between councillors and voters more equal.
Fifteen ward boundaries would be unaffected (though with a few name changes): Bishopston, Bonymaen (now Bon-y-maen), Cwmbwrla, Fairwood, Landore, Llansamlet, Mayals, Morriston, Mynyddbach (now Mynydd-bach), Penclawdd, Penderry, Penllergaer, Sketty, Townhill and Uplands.
The large Mawr ward ceased to exist, its communities divided amongst neighbouring wards and a new ward of Pontlliw and Tircoed created. A Mumbles ward was created by merging the Newton and Oystermouth wards. A Llwchwr ward was created by merging Kingsbridge, Lower Loughor and Upper Loughor. A new Waterfront ward was created from parts of the Castle ward and St Thomas ward. A new Waunarlwyd ward was created from part of Cockett. Dunvant, Killay North and Killay South were merged to create a Dunvant and Killay ward. The Gorseinon and Penyrheol wards were combined to become Gorseinon and Penyrheol.
