“Dear friends and neighbours, It is with great humility that I put my name forward as a candidate in the 2017 Pembrokeshire County Council election for the Hundleton Ward.
“Having lived in the Castlemartin Peninsula since 1970, my roots now are well and truly in this area, with you all.
“I have a good track record of working within the rural and agricultural industry, but also giving my time to establish working groups and committees to promote and support local food producers, aquaculture, inshore fisheries as well as farming. I have given advice and presentations to students looking at career choices.
“I am environmentally aware, but also know that our area is fortunate to have the refineries, the power station, the Port of Milford Haven, the Army at Castlemartin and, very importantly, all year round tourism and visitors.
“Not being tied into party politics will leave me free to listen to You as electors and take your points and concerns to the council chamber.
“I am a good communicator and have no difficulty in voicing a Point of view or speaking publicly. Please support me on May 4 by giving me your vote –thank you!”

“My flyers have been hand delivered but if you have not received one. Please phone 07788816448 or 01646 683581.
“My first task is to make sure GREEN projects are suitable for the delicate balance between industry and leisure.
“Is using Stackpole School for one term the best way for the children as some will have four changes in less than a year. Angle to Stackpole to Hundleton then Pembroke Comp. How about children first?
“The proposed school name is quite a mouthfull so why not Angle Peninsula School. It should go down well with everyone I will also try to form a closer link between the three community councils as I am sure this will benefit all.
“My story is set out in my flyer so if you like where I am coming from feel free to put it in your window. Contact me before during or after the election. It will be great to hear from you. I will work and take all that is thrown at me.
“The last five years have gone, so don’t waste the next four.
“PLEASE VOTE FOR BARRY GRANGE”

Fire service delivers vital kit to Ukraine

Wales joins UK’s largest firefighting aid convoy
MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) has taken part in the UK’s largest ever convoy delivering vital firefighting equipment to Ukraine, joining 17 other Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) from across the country.
The convoy, coordinated by FIRE AID and supported by the UK Government, left the UK in early April. It travelled through France, Germany and Poland, delivering over 30 fire service vehicles and more than 15,000 items of equipment to support Ukrainian firefighters on the front line of the ongoing war.
Since the Russian invasion in 2022, UK fire services have donated 119 vehicles and over 200,000 pieces of equipment to Ukraine. Each participating service ensured local needs were met before donating surplus kit.
Watch Manager Rob Kershaw represented MAWWFRS on the convoy. He said:
“It’s been a privilege to be part of this convoy and to represent both FIRE AID and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
We received invaluable support and assistance from fire and police services across every country we passed through. Their help in coordinating, escorting, and hosting the convoy was outstanding.”
Chief Fire Officer Roger Thomas KFSM added:
“MAWWFRS is proud to support our colleagues in Ukraine by donating and delivering essential equipment.
The events in Ukraine have deeply affected the fire and rescue community, and this convoy is a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to helping those still working under extreme conditions.”
The donated equipment will support firefighters in Ukraine who continue to operate in war zones to save lives and protect property—often at great personal risk. Since the conflict began, 100 Ukrainian firefighters have been killed and 431 injured. A total of 411 fire stations and 1,700 firefighting vehicles have been destroyed.
