Guest stayed two nights but didn’t pay
AN AMMANFORD man, who stayed two nights at the Saundersfoot Guest House without paying, was fined for the offence.
Paul Biella, aged 27, of Park Avenue, pleaded guilty to the offence at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (Jan 28).
The court heard how Biella had an argument with his wife who then threw him out of the house leaving him with no money and nowhere to go.
Prosecuting, Vaughan Pritchard-Jones told the court: “On January 24, 2014, this man went to the Guest House and stayed there knowing he had no means of paying. He has said he is sorry and that he will repay the full amount that he owes and I am told he has also brought money to court today to make immediate payment for compensation. That amount is £142. His offence does not put him in breach of a suspended sentence.”
Defending, his solicitor told the court: “He accepts full responsibility. He had an argument with his wife and he was left without money and he found himself in a desperate situation. He wasn’t in the right frame of mind but he is sorry for his actions. He is back on track with his relationship and he is looking at setting up a car sales business. This was a spur of the moment decision and I would ask that you give him a fine for the offence.”
The chairman of the bench said: “We are concerned that this is the second offence of a similar nature that brings you before the court. You’ve got a suspended sentence hanging over your head and if you appear in court again the Magistrates will look at this more seriously. You need to get your life in order.”
Biella was fined £130 for the incident, ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge, £85 in court costs.
He was also ordered to pay £142 in

All people eligible for vaccination will get theirs by end of July

PEOPLE eligible for the coronavirus vaccine will get theirs by the end of July, the Health Minister has said.
Wales achieved its target of getting everyone in the first four priority groups vaccinated by the middle of February and is now working on offering the vaccine to those in groups 5 to 9.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has set out that people with severe or profound learning disabilities or with a mental illness will be among priority group 6.
Mr Gething said that they were would make sure that no one is left behind.
The latest figures from Public Health Wales show that 878,506 people had received their first dose of the vaccine.
59,279 people have received both doses of the vaccine.
Vaughan Gething, Minister for Health and Social Services, said: “We have achieved our first milestone of offering everyone in the first four priority groups vaccination by mid-February.
“We are now making progress in achieving our next milestone, which is to offer the vaccine to all individuals in priority groups 5 to 9.
“The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has set out that people with a severe/profound learning disability and individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or any mental illness that causes severe functional impairment, should be invited for vaccination as part of priority group 6.
“There are challenges with identifying individuals within these groups, particularly given the JCVI language is not generally in use in Wales, and we are working hard to make sure that no one is left behind. Today we have published guidance on identifying eligible individuals in these groups and on how to support them to take up their vaccine offers.
“The JCVI has also said that some of our invaluable unpaid carers should be included in priority group 6.
“Today we have also published guidance on identifying those unpaid carers eligible for vaccine prioritisation and the process around this. I am grateful to the national carers’ organisations for their support with this work.”
