The Committee considered a call-in, a request for scrutiny of a Cabinet decision before it takes effect, on removing the booking system at Pembrokeshire's six Waste and Recycling Centres and replacing it with number plate recognition (ANPR). Councillors raised concerns about cost, traffic surveys, data protection and the information before Cabinet. The Committee voted six to four, with one abstention, to uphold the decision.
Cabinet agreed to let Unit 1 of the Riverside Shopping Centre in Haverfordwest, the former Wilko store, to a major high street retailer. It also approved the funding for the building works and authorised a mini-competition to choose the building contractor. Cabinet considered the exempt appendices in private session.
Pembrokeshire County Council's meeting on 15 October 2026 was due to consider a motion to disband the Planning Delegation Panel, a motion on secret ballots, council tax premiums on second homes and long-term empty properties, the future of Cilgerran Church in Wales school, licensing policies, community council sizes, and the 2024-25 accounts. No minutes have been published yet, so this summary sets out what was proposed, not what was decided. Items 1 to 6 were procedural or public questions and are not summarised.
Cancelled
The report asks the Cabinet member to accept a draft council response to a Welsh Government consultation on a White Paper covering rural proofing (checking how policies affect rural areas) and environmental sustainability. The draft does not support a rural proofing duty in its current form, and the consultation closes on 14 October 2026. No minute has been published, so this summary records no decision.
The meeting was due to consider a response to a Welsh Government call for evidence on a new vision for culture and sport in Wales. No minute has been published, so no decision is recorded here. The report recommends sending the draft response in appendix A.

At its meeting on 5 October 2026, Cabinet approved the purchase of 22 Waterloo Square, Milford Haven, from a serving councillor, approved the sale of surplus council land, and agreed to transfer Fishguard Town Hall to the town council at an undervalue. It also approved a tender for residual waste treatment, a phased end to the booking system at waste centres, a revised winter maintenance plan, and seven affordable homes at Saundersfoot. It recommended to Council that the second homes and long-term empty property premiums stay at 125% and 300%.

The committee will consider reports on council tax premiums for second homes and empty homes, a revised street lighting policy, and a review of the Haverfordwest public spaces order. It will also get an update on the regeneration strategy and County Farms, and consider a motion on the County Farms Working Group. No minutes have been published, so no decisions are recorded here.
A single Cabinet member for Housing is being asked to decide whether the council should buy 7 Gay Lane, Marloes, a three-bedroom house, for £200,000 to add to its social housing. The minute has not been published, so no decision is recorded yet. The purchase is proposed partly because four families were recently moved out of nearby Gay Lane homes that are no longer considered safe.
This Individual Cabinet Member Decision on Adult Social Care was due to consider starting a tender for a three-year framework for Welsh translation services, with an option to extend by one year. The minutes have not been published, so no decision is recorded here. The framework is estimated to cost £680,000 excluding VAT across the four-year term.
The Committee considered leadership development, outdoor learning, the annual Section 175 safeguarding report and artificial intelligence in schools. It recommended that Cabinet make a five-year commitment to the Pembs50 leadership programme and consider standard school platforms, and it agreed to add reading standards to its work programme.
