Back in May, at an extraordinary meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council’s standards committee, Milford Haven North county councillor Alan Dennison was found to have breached the code of conduct for members, and was suspended from office for a period of four months. However, Cllr Dennison was able to keep performing his role as a county councillor while an appeal he lodged with the Adjudication Panel for Wales against the decision was in process. The May 2026 special standards meeting heard of a long string of connections between Cllr Dennison and Mr Bridges. They also found that Cllr Dennison should have left the public gallery as soon as he became aware of the item under discussion, in accordance with Ombudsman guidelines. Defending himself personally, Cllr Dennison said he, as a councillor, was “driven for the benefit of the people of Pembrokeshire,” with his councillor salary donated to a dogs’ hospital charity in Sri Lanka.
