Hunt on for new councillor

The hunt is on for a new councillor for Narberth. Members are looking to co-opt a new recruit to represent the urban ward. One application has alredy been received, but anyone else interested is asked to apply in writing to the clerk, Mrs. Caroline Coaker, Rainford, Bloomfield Gardens, Narberth, by March 17. It is hoped the applications can then be considered at the following Tuesday's planning meeting and a candidate chosen. Mrs. Coaker would then serve the necessary papers on the successful applicant who would be able to attend the April meeting of the council.
