The number of town and community councillors in Pembrokeshire could be cut by 10% following a review by Wales’ Democracy and Boundary Commission.
The review aimed to make representation on town and community councils similar across Pembrokeshire.
It has been recommended that the number of councillors is cut from 689 to 621 – a loss of 68, or almost 10% of Pembrokeshire’s councillors.
The Commission also proposed changes to the boundaries of 13 of Pembrokeshire’s 77 towns and communities.
It said town and community councils should have no more than 18 and no fewer than six councillors.
Chief executive Shereen Williams said: ‘These recommendations will help to ensure that Pembrokeshire has viable and resilient community councils over the coming years as well as providing the most appropriate building blocks for the Commission’s future electoral reviews of Pembrokeshire’s county council wards.’
The changes, if approved by the Welsh Government, would come into effect at the 2027 local government elections.
