Dai Jenkins
I am fourth generation Waunarwlydd and live overlooking Gowerton Ward. I was honoured to be elected to represent Gowerton on the City and County of Swansea as one of your Ward County Councillors on May 6th 2022. Which was the date in 1980 that I started work for BT group some 43 years ago, where I am a full-time trade union officer for the Communication Workers Union.
I specialise in events management and have many transferrable skills from my union activities that help with my role as a councillor including health and safety, public speaking, complaint handling, chairing meeting and event organising, which I am puting to good use in Gowerton.
My aims are for Gowerton to be a safe community and a happy community, and I intend to highlight and resolve any safety issues in the village and identify fun activities that bring the village together as one community.
I am passionate about transferring our talents, experience and knowledge to the young people of the village and in turn listen and learn from them and encourage their participation and well-being.
