A local woman is accused of starting a fire which could have put the lives of flat residents at risk.

Hayley James, 38, of The Green, Pembroke, is facing a charge of arson with intent, being reckless as to whether life was endangered.

It is alleged that she started a blaze at her former Commercial Row, Pembroke Dock, home on the morning of December 2.

No pleas were entered when James appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates from custody on Tuesday.

James was remanded into custody until her next appearance at Swansea crown court on February 13.
