THE people of Pembrokeshire have had their say and the count will soon get underway in Haverfordwest.
There have been a number of changes to electoral wards for this election and it will deliver a new-look council.
Despite its new look there will still be similar issues for them to deal with like the council’s budget, Covid and education.
19 seats have been uncontested but there are still 40 wards which will be decided today and we will update this article as and when results come in.
There will also be results for Town and Community Council elections announced.
The sun was out for voting day on Thursday (May 5) giving residents the perfect chance to go out and cast their vote. Some wards were won by only a couple of votes in 2017 so every vote counts.
The article will be updated and results will appear below
