“I am proud to be standing for Plaid Cymru – the Party of Wales for the Kilgetty/Begelly electoral division.

“I have been dismayed at the lack of clear and accountable representation for our residents from the so called Independent Plus rulers at County Hall. I want to be a strong voice for our wonderful communities across Kilgetty, Begelly & Reynoldston.

“I live in the heart of our community, near the Begelly Arms, and if elected I intend to be both visible and accessible to all residents through holding regular advice surgeries across the area. I will also provide regular updates and newsletters.

“I have 27 years experience as a school governor and I have previously served as a County Councillor in Cardiff for 10 years.

“A mother of four grown up children and a grandmother and carer, I understand the problems we are all facing on a daily basis.

“We need to work together with partners to secure improved services, better and more job opportunities & skills for our young people and good quality care for our elderly.

“I am passionate about securing local service improvements whilst at the same time looking at how we can better manage the enforced cuts to local government.

“If you vote for me, Gretta Marshall, Plaid Cymru – the Party of Wales candidate I won’t let you down.”

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.
