WRITTEN STATEMENT

THE WELSH GOVERNMENT

TITLE	Recommendation of the Pembrokeshire Community Review
DATE	9 February 2026
BY	Jayne Bryant MS, Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government

On 15 October 2025 I issued a written statement regarding the review of community arrangements of the County of Pembrokeshire, undertaken by the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru. Upon further consideration, I am advised that the recommendations relating to the communities of Nolton and Roch, Martletwy, Stackpole and Castlemartin and Pencaer do not fall within the scope of the review and will not be included in the forthcoming Order that will implement the remaining recommendations.

Pembrokeshire County Council and the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru will consider how the specific recommendations relating to those communities could be brought forward again in the near future as part of an electoral arrangements review.
