St Blazey (Cornish: Lanndreth)[3] is an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom which returns one member to sit on Cornwall Council. The current Councillor is Pauline Giles, a Conservative.[4] The current division is distinct from the division of the same name used from 2013 to 2021; it is much larger than the former iteration, having absorbed most of the former Par and St Blazey Gate division as part of boundary changes at the 2021 election.
