Following on from the Boundaries Commission review, the Welsh Assembly Government has decided to reject the proposals to relocate seven streets from the community of Uzmaston and Boulston to Haverfordwest.
The review recommended that the Welsh Assembly Government transfer properties on Addison Close, Dunsany Park, Uzmaston Road, Style Park, Clover Park, Creamston Road and Bethany Row as part of the Review of Community Boundaries in the County of Pembrokeshire.
County Councillor, Richard Hancock commented, "Many residents of the affected area opposed this proposal, and together we fought a campaign to keep the boundaries of our community as they are now. I am delighted that this campaign has been successful, and that the end decision has taken into account the views of the residents. This is only right and fair.
"I am grateful to Uzmaston & Boulston Community Council, Paul Davies AM and Stephen Crabb MP for their support on this matter"
Local Assembly Member, Paul Davies said "I am pleased to see that the Welsh Assembly Government is excluding the proposal to transfer seven streets in the community of Uzmaston and Boulston to Haverfordwest. This is very promising news for the residents of these communities who have fought hard to oppose these plans.
"Earlier this year, I wrote to the Welsh Assembly Government to object to the plans as I felt that the proposal to transfer these areas into that of Haverfordwest would break the strong community bonds that currently exist. The local residents have made it clear that they felt that their communities are not part of Haverfordwest and that they should remain as they are in Uzmaston and Boulston. This is a triumph for local democracy."
