Councillor Tony Brinsden re-took the ward in 2004 for the Liberal Democrats, holding the seat in 2008. In May 2012 he stood and won as an Independent.[3] A local man and former policeman, Cllr Brinsden became Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council in May 2016.[4] Amroth Community Council had its first contested election in 29 years in May 2008, when fifteen candidates put themselves forward for the nine seats available to the Amroth community ward.[2] See also
