Budget for 2026-27 approved by Pembrokeshire County Council

The budget will see additional funding for schools (£4.7m), for Social Care (£5.9m) and for a number of other vital front line public services including roads and building maintenance.

Council tax will rise £1.46 per week for a band D property.

Cabinet Member for Corporate Finance and Efficiencies, Cllr Alistair Cameron, said: "I would like to thank those residents who responded to the recent public consultations and want to assure residents that this budget has been set with your needs and priorities at the forefront.

"This budget supports the service areas we’ve identified that require extra investment, such as schools and social care. Schools across Pembrokeshire will receive £4.7m of additional funding this coming year, which follows on from the £13.6m of extra investment in schools over the previous two years.

"This budget will also put extra funding into a number of front-line services which we know need to be prioritised including road repairs, gully clearing and building maintenance.

"Pembrokeshire, like all local authorities, faces increasing demands on key service areas, but this administration is very aware we cannot keep asking residents to pay significantly more Council Tax each year. This budget recognises this whilst safeguarding vital services."
