Pembrokeshire County Council Pembrokeshire County Council Pembrokeshire County Council () is the governing body for Pembrokeshire, one of the Principal Areas of Wales. Cllr David Simpson was elected as the new council leader on 25 May 2017, after the previous leader Jamie Adams had withdrawn from the contest. The council had previously been controlled by the Independent Plus Political Group (IPPG), of which Cllr Adams was a member, but their numbers were slashed from 33 to 13 at the May 2017 election. Cllr Adams blamed the IPPG's close connections to the discredited former chief executive. Cllr Simpson is unaffiliated to any group. Elections
