Trevor Hallett one of Tenby’s best known characters and respected town councillors - has sadly passed away, leaving a legacy of service to the community.

Cllr Hallett was still a member of Tenby Town Council, where he served as Mayor first back in 1996, and then again returned to fill the role of the town's First Citizen ten years later in 2006.

In 2023, Cllr Hallett, alongside fellow Tenby Town Council stalwart, Sue Lane, became the first people to receive the ‘Freedom of the Town’ in over five decades.

First elected to the town council in 1987, Cllr Hallett was well-known for his environmental and ecological interests.

Born in Monkton, Pembroke, Clr. Thomas John Trevor Hallett moved at an early age to East Minerton, Devonshire Drive, where his parents ran a smallholding and agricultural contracting business and later a small touring caravan complex.

Educated in St. Florence and Coronation Schools, he worked in construction contracting for a number of years, until he and his late wife, Marjorie, opened a painting and decorating shop in Upper Frog Street, with Clr. Hallett retiring in 1994 due to ill- health.

Clr. Hallett, of 1 Cogmill Cottage, The Green, was the nephew of a much-remembered figure in local government, the late Miss Winnie Hallett.
