Risca West is a community and electoral ward[1] in Caerphilly County Borough. It is one of two communities to cover the town of Risca.[2]
The community of Risca West was formed in April 2013, alongside Risca East, and the council was soon renamed to Risca Town Council.[2] In 2023 a change was proposed to merge the community with the neighbouring Risca East to form a new Risca Community Council.[3]
As of November 2021, Risca Town Council charged the highest council tax rate in Caerphilly County Borough.[4]
