Llanelly Borough Council was a local authority created in 1913 when the existing Urban District Council achieved borough status. The Council consisted of 24 members, eighteen of whom were elected councillors and the remaining six were aldermen. The councillors were elected on a triennial cycle, with a third of councillors retiring each year. Aldermen were elected for a six-year term from within the council membership. It was renamed Llanelli Borough Council in the 1960s.

1945 Llanelly Borough Council election

At the first post-war election, eight seats were contested, as six councillors retired with two vacancies to be filled. In addition the term of three aldermen elected in 1935 came to an end, although H.W. Bowen (Lab) had recently died and Daniel Roberts (Ind) decided not to stand.

Labour candidates won a sweeping victory, taking seven of the eight seats and gaining a majority on the borough council for the first time. Three Independents co-opted to fill vacancies during the war years were defeated, as was Alderman W.E. Davies in Ward Two.
