“I have lived in Haverfordwest for over 50 years. I went to school here, I raised my family here and I have my business here. I can truly say Haverfordwest is in my heart and soul.

“I am passionate about building our community. I love tackling big community projects like setting up the Haverfordwest Business Circle and running the Haverfoodfest, the Raft Race and the ever-popular Yarn Bombs.

“I own my own business in Haverfordwest and was fortunate to win a Local Hero Award 2016, be made Burgess to Haverfordwest 2016 and nominated as Local Business Woman 2016.

“Our local authority faces funding cuts of £10.7 for 2017-18, after losing £16.3m in 2016-17. So this will mean much less money for social care, schools and public services. Who will fight for your corner?

“And those endless Haverfordwest debates around regeneration, car parking, litter – what do you think should be done?

“Elect me as your councillor for Castle Ward and I will listen to your concerns and work tirelessly to represent you. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. I believe the town belongs to the people and that we know what’s best for our town. Vote Sally Williams.”

A HAKIN motorist has been banned from driving for three years after being caught behind the wheel with cocaine and benzoylecgonine in his system.

Mark Briskham, 53, of Waterloo Square, Wellington Road, Hakin, was stopped by police on January 5 as he drove a Ford Kuga along Steynton Road, near Milford Haven.

Blood tests carried out at the police station showed he had 800mcg of benzoylecgonine in his system. The legal limit is 50mcg.

He also had 64mcg of cocaine in his system. The legal limit is 10mcg.

Briskham pleaded guilty to two drug-driving charges when he appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

Magistrates disqualified him from driving for three years, taking into account a previous drug-drive conviction from 2020.

He was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 surcharge.cr

A WATERSTON man has appeared before magistrates charged with 13 sexual offences against children, including three allegations of raping a girl under the age of 13.

Chaisee Price, 25, of Biggins Hill, Waterston, Milford Haven, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

He faces three charges of raping a girl under 13, eight charges of sexually assaulting girls aged between five and eight, and two charges of intentionally inciting girls under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2014 and 2019.

Price denied all charges.

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, magistrates declined jurisdiction and the case will now proceed to Swansea Crown Court on July 10.

Price was released on conditional bail.

The conditions include a daily electronically monitored curfew between 6:00pm and 6:00am, no contact with the prosecution witness, no unsupervised contact with children under 18, and a requirement to surrender his passport to police.
