A COMMUNITY talent show with a difference is set to take place in Abercych Village Hall on Saturday, 14th June, as Manordeifi’s Got Talent 2025 brings together locals for an evening of entertainment and fundraising.

The event will feature performances of music, song, comedy, poetry and more, all contributed by members of the community. It promises to be a fun, social evening aimed at celebrating local creativity while raising funds for the Manordeifi Crisis Fund—a local initiative set up to support residents in times of emergency.

Last winter’s storms left many homes in the area without power for days, highlighting the need for better local resilience. Organisers say the fund is designed to help the community respond more effectively when the next crisis hits.

A MILFORD HAVEN man has avoided a custodial sentence after breaching the terms of a post-prison supervision order.

Liam Roberts, 32, of Marble Hall Road, was released from custody earlier this year following a 16-week sentence. As part of his release conditions, he was required to attend regular probation appointments until February 2026.

However, in February this year, Roberts failed to attend one of the scheduled meetings, prompting enforcement action.

He appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates this week and pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the supervision requirements.

Defence solicitor Tom Lloyd told the court that Roberts is the primary carer for his mother, who is undergoing treatment for cancer.

“He’s a tremendous source of help to her and she is heavily reliant on him for day-to-day support,” said Mr Lloyd.

“He is now keen to comply fully with the order and re-engage with probation services.”

Magistrates imposed a £60 fine and ordered Roberts to pay £60 in probation enforcement costs.

A HAVERFORDWEST man who subjected his wife to a torrent of verbal abuse during a drug-fuelled outburst has been sentenced by magistrates.

Michael Tomlin, 40, of Coronation Avenue, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week after previously pleading guilty to a string of offences.

The court heard how Tomlin’s behaviour spiralled after taking crack cocaine, nitrous oxide and amphetamine. His wife, speaking through a victim impact statement, described the effect of the incident on her family.

“This was the worst I’ve ever seen him,” she said. “It made me feel embarrassed for us as a family.”

Prosecutor Dennis Davies told the court that police were called to the couple’s address following a disturbance.

“He called her a fat bitch, amongst other things,” he said. “As a result, he finds himself before the court today.”

Tomlin admitted the following offences: possession of crack cocaine; possession of nitrous oxide with intent to inhale; possession of 2.95 grams of amphetamine; using threatening and abusive language likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to his wife; failing to stop for a police officer on Back Lane, Haverfordwest; driving without insurance; driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence; and failing to attend a drugs assessment after testing positive for cocaine.

His solicitor, Tom Lloyd, said Tomlin was ready to turn his life around.

“There is another side to this defendant,” he said. “He’s a good father and wants to address his issues with the support of a Community Order.”

Magistrates sentenced Tomlin to a 12-month community order, including 20 rehabilitation activity days, a 12-month drug rehabilitation requirement, and a 120-day alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement. A forfeiture and destruction order was made in relation to the drugs seized.

He was also ordered to pay a £134 court surcharge and £65 costs. His driving licence was endorsed with six penalty points.

Sentencing, magistrates told Tomlin: “This is your last chance. You’re very fortunate that your wife has stood by you today. It’s important that you comply with probation. We don’t want to see you in this court again. We wish you luck.”
