From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2012 Blaenau Gwent Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2012 to elect members of Blaenau Gwent Council in Wales.^[1] This was on the same day as the other 2012 United Kingdom local elections. The previous council election took place in 2008 and the following election was held in 2017.
