An election to the Llandeilo Rural District Council was held on 26 March 1934. It was preceded by the 1931 election and followed by the 1937 election.[1]
This was the last election conducted prior to the implementation of a review into district boundaries in Carmarthenshire. Following a recommendation made in 1932, it was decided that the rural districts of Llandeilo and Llandovery would be merged.[2]
A partial election would be held in 1935 in seats where wards would be amalgamated or the number of seats reduced as a result of re-organization. Members unaffected by the changes would remain in post. The 1937 election would be the first time that a whole council would be elected for the merged authority.
Independents continued to be the only candidates nominated in the rural wards; many of whom were returned unopposed. Labour contested all of the industrial area wards and won the mahority of them. No nominations were initially received for the Heolddu ward.
Outcome
A similar pattern to recent elections was observed at the election, with Labour candidates contesting the urban wards but Independents being returned for the rural areas.
The only change was in the Betws ward where Labour lost a seat to an Independent candidate. In Llandeilo South Ward, Thomas Morris lost his seat after over twenty years.
