The Area
St Mellons falls under two separate electoral wards. Old St Mellons combines with neighbouring Pontprennau while St Mellons joins with Trowbridge. The 2001 Census put Pontprennau & Old St. Mellons's population at 8,031 while Trowbridge was 14,801, the 4th most populated ward in Cardiff. The combined population of the four districts is 22,832, 7% of Cardiff's total population.
These figures should change significantly by the time of the 2011 Census however, due to large scale infill development along the mainline railway and in Pontprennau. Plans are also afoot to regenerate the older council-owned estates in the district in line with the recent trend of constructing three-storey "town" houses.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
