A PEMBROKESHIRE group has been set up by people worried about the Government’s approach to Brexit.

Pembrokeshire for Europe is launching in partnership with Wales for Europe, which consists of people from across the main political parties as well non-party supporters who feel the nation’s best interests are not served by Brexit.

The group will hold its first public meeting at 7pm on Friday, July 27 at Bloomfield House Community Centre, Narberth. The speaker will be Geraint Talfan Davies, Chair of Wales for Europe.

The meeting is open to all who share the group’s concerns.

Free tickets are available via eventbrite to indicate numbers, but all are welcome. Tickets are not necessary for entry.

A spokesman, said: “We will listen to the very real concerns of people in our community. We will organise events to discuss the issues around Brexit - bringing the discussion into Pembrokeshire; publicising talks/lectures; working with neighbouring groups, demanding we have our say on any final deal and that we avoid the catastrophic ‘no-deal’ scenario.

“Pembrokeshire has a lot to lose from Brexit. Overall Wales has benefited from European funding and withdrawal of funds is going to hit the poorest hardest. In 2015 the Pembrokeshire economy benefited by £35 million through EU membership according to the London School of Economics.”

“Our health service relies on the recruitment of doctors and other clinical staff from elsewhere in the EU. Pembrokeshire has more Blue Flag beaches than anywhere else in Wales as a result of meeting EU-wide water quality standards and the provision of EU-funded visitor facilities.

“We look forward to seeing you on July 27.”
