The Council comprised councillors and a chairman, and its responsibilities included sanitary services, sewerage, refuse collection, maintaining local roads, cemeteries and parks, licensing of public entertainments, water supply and housing. It became a rating authority in 1925. Rural District Councils were administered by a number of committees and by appointed officers including a Clerk, Treasurer, Public Health Inspector, Housing Officer, Surveyor and Rating Officer. [1]
It was abolished in 1934, when a county review order amalgamated it with Llanfyrnach RD to form Cemaes RD (which itself was abolished in 1974 following local government reorganisation and its functions were assumed by Preseli Pembrokeshire District Council). [1]
The records of the council are held by Pembrokeshire Record Office in Haverfordwest. [1]
