Transcription

Creation

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the following parts of the administrative county of Pembrokeshire:[1][2]

In 1981, a further 11 communities were transferred from South Pembrokeshire district.

Premises

The council's main offices were at Cambria House on Salutation Square in Haverfordwest, which had been built in 1965 as the headquarters of one of the council's predecessors, the Haverfordwest Rural District Council.[3][4]

Abolition

On 1 April 1996 the district was abolished by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, merging with its neighbour South Pembrokeshire to become a reconstituted county of Pembrokeshire.[5] Cambria House temporarily served as the headquarters of the new Pembrokeshire County Council. A new County Hall was built adjoining Cambria House in 1999, and Cambria House was demolished the following year.[3]

Political control

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Throughout the council's existence a majority of the seats were held by independent councillors.[6]
