TWO people were arrested on Friday evening (June 6) following a disturbance reported on Pill Road in Milford Haven.

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that officers responded to a report of an affray at around 7:45pm. A man aged 30 and a woman aged 28 were arrested near Milford Marina shortly afterwards. Both have since been released on police bail.

Police clarified that, contrary to some rumours circulating locally, no drugs raid took place in connection with the incident.

The Herald understands that the arrests followed a confrontation involving multiple individuals, but police have not released further details, including the identities of those arrested.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “Dyfed-Powys Police attended to a report of an affray on Pill Road, Milford Haven at around 7.45pm on Friday 6 June. One man, aged 30, and one woman, aged 28, were arrested on suspicion of affray and have been released on police bail.”

Enquiries into the incident are ongoing.

Nearly 900 households targeted for support – could Pembrokeshire do more?

NEARLY 900 households in Powys will receive letters this week offering targeted help with the cost-of-living crisis – prompting questions about whether Pembrokeshire County Council should be doing the same.

Powys County Council has used intelligent data analytics to identify households most likely to be struggling financially. They will now be contacted directly and offered free and confidential support with managing bills, energy costs, debt, benefits, and household budgeting.

Half of those identified are council tenants, with the other half living in private rentals or owner-occupied homes.

The scheme uses a tool called LIFT – the Low Income Family Tracker – which pulls together a range of information to spot those who may be falling through the cracks.

Councillor Matthew Dorrance, Deputy Leader of Powys County Council, said: “We are here to help and want to make sure that everyone in our communities has access to the support they need.

“The LIFT platform should help us target our support where it’s most needed and allow us to help more Powys residents to maximise their income and reduce their costs.”

Support will be available in person, online or by phone, with options for home visits.

The Herald understands that Pembrokeshire County Council has not yet adopted the same level of targeted outreach. While the council does offer a range of cost-of-living support, residents must usually seek help themselves. There is currently no known use of data analytics or direct invitation letters to identify and contact those in need.

Pembrokeshire County Council has, however, established a dedicated Community Hub, offering practical help to anyone affected by the rising cost of living. Advisors can assist with benefits, housing, money worries, debt, food support, energy bills, and more.

One local resident who contacted The Herald said: “This is exactly the kind of help people need – not everyone is confident enough to ask for support, even if they’re struggling. Pembrokeshire should be doing this too.”

With Powys setting a new precedent for proactive support, the question is now whether Pembrokeshire – and other councils across Wales – will follow suit.

Inclusive dance performance to challenge perceptions and celebrate the human spirit

THIS June, the Torch Theatre in Milford Haven will play host to Let Life Dance — a powerful, moving, and visually striking dance theatre production featuring both disabled and non-disabled performers.

Created by Humans Move, an emerging inclusive dance company aiming to be disability-led, the show promises a heartfelt exploration of life’s challenges and the transformative power of connection. With a diverse cast and a spirit of compassion and inclusivity, Let Life Dance invites audiences to reflect on the resilience and beauty of the human experience.

Choreographed by award-winning artist Jessie Brett, the performance delves into what happens when individuals go against their own nature. It asks: how can we truly let life dance through us in a world that so often imposes restrictions, barriers, and struggle?

Audiences will follow the performers’ journey through chaos, interference, and personal growth — ultimately arriving at a space of surrender, trust, and shared humanity. Original music by composer Jered Sorkin weaves through the piece, underscoring its emotional depth and uniting the cast like pieces of a puzzle in perfect balance.

“There is something to be learnt from every human experience,” said a Let Life Dance spokesperson. “This work celebrates our differences and reminds us that each of us plays a part in creating a more compassionate world.”

Let Life Dance will be performed for one night only on Tuesday, 24 June at 7:00pm. Tickets are priced at £15 (£14 concessions) and are available from the Torch Theatre Box Office on (01646) 695267 or via www.torchtheatre.co.uk.
