About the Community Council..........
There are 2 tiers of Local Government in Letterston - County Council and the Community Council. County Councils are made up of individual Councillors, who are elected to serve the needs of their locality. Community Councils represent the first tier of Local Government - the tier closest to local residents and the communities they live in.
The Community Council supports 968 electorates across Letterston and surrounding areas. The Community Council is made up of 10 local Community Councillor volunteers including a Pembrokeshire County Councillor. The Community Council meet on the third Tuesday of every month at [07:00pm] in Letterston Memorial Hall.
Community Councils are set up and controlled by law and can only act if there is a legal power to do so. Community Councils are often consulted on local issues such as planning applications, road improvements and changes to public transport. Community Councils can provide vital local knowledge such as flooding concerns and transport and access problems.
Community Councils are being encouraged to deliver more services and can also support local community groups and provide community activities. They also ensure that the principal authorities are aware of local concerns such as problems with potholes, highway visibility, litter and dog fouling.
