“I have lived and worked on the family-run dairy farm in Martletwy for nearly 30 years and have two grown-up children. I am a Council Member for First Milk, a farmer-owned dairy processing business with an annual turnover of £300 million and represent over 900 dairy farmers UK wide. In this role, I hold the Executive Board to account financially, strategically and in its longer term business plans.

“Previously I have worked for Simon Hart MP as his office manager. In my local community I have helped set up the Landshipping, Lawrenny, Martletwy and Newton “Good Neighbours” scheme of which I am both Treasurer and Secretary. I have been a voluntary Meals-on-Wheels driver in Narberth for 5 years. I currently organise the local lunch club and recently helped organise funding for three defibrillators for the area. I also help look after my local church.

“I am standing as a Welsh Conservative as I believe in personal responsibility, small government, free markets, individual liberty and traditional values. I believe the role of government (locally and nationally) should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals yet protect those who are vulnerable and in need of help. I also believe that local people usually have the answers to local issues.

“Local people have told me that they are fed up of the fact that PCC is not remotely ‘independent’ despite its claim. They want honesty and change. Candidates, like me, who stand for a political party, are at least being very straight with voters as to their values and objectives. My aim is to ensure that the Council offer the very best services, value for money and to be more democratic and open.”

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.
