At the July meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council, members heard a notice of motion submitted by Cllr Delme Harries, Bro Gwuan county councillor and vice-chair of council, calling for a working group for supporting rural areas. Cllr Harries’ motion said: “It is increasingly evident that while significant effort and investment has been directed toward revitalising our towns, many of our rural areas are being left behind. It is time we restore balance and give our rural communities the attention, voice, and opportunities they deserve. “At the same time, there is growing recognition of the distinct and evolving challenges faced by our rural communities. “The Notice of Motion invites the council to consider how best to ensure that rural communities receive appropriate attention and support.
