Carew
Norman Parry
Independent
“As an independent I successfully fought for the Sageston bypass, Sageston county primary school, the Carew, Sageston and Milton waste treatment works, the upgrading of council homes and making land available for local housing for local people.
“I am an independent independent and not beholden to any other political party, I stood up for my electorates and achieved far more than any other councillor before or since.
“The needs and issues of the ward of Carew have been neglected in recent years and I have been asked almost daily to represent Carew again. Issues ranging from a main sewer for Whitehill, the pressing need for funding of social services to enable the supply of care for the elderly and infirm in their own home and community, to affordable housing to rent and buy for local families.
“I look forward to hearing your concerns and hopes for the future and working together to achieve these goals, and to return Pembrokeshire County Council to a caring sharing enabling authority and not as a regulatory revenue raising and service cutting authority.”
