Mayor of Pembroke, Clr. Dennis Evans, has paid a heartfelt tribute to his predecessor, Clr. Pauline Waters (pictured), who sadly passed away earlier this week.

“Pembroke is a sadder town following the passing of Pauline Waters,” said Clr. Evans.

“I had the great fortune of being Deputy Mayor to Pauline in her year of office and it was truly an honour to serve under her,” he continued.

“Pauline was one of Pembroke’s characters well-loved and well respected by all who knew her.

“Her year in office did a great deal to restore the credibility of Pembroke Town Council and her non-stop energetic approach generated tremendous enthusiasm by all who met her.”

Clr. Evans added: “What you saw with Pauline was what you got, no airs or graces just plain simple talking.

“Her love of Pembroke and the people of Pembroke was always uppermost and the work that she carried out on behalf of the residents of Monkton was second to none.

“Pembroke will be a poorer place without Pauline and the thoughts and prayers of council go out to her family and friends.”
