Pembrokeshire County Council leader, John Davies, has paid tribute to council workers who worked through the night at the height of Friday's floods.

Gangs of workmen were on duty throughout the county clearing drains, distributing sandbags and generally helping householders where and when they could as Pembrokeshire took a battering from torrential rain and high winds.

The Council distributed around 2,000 sandbags from its depots in Fishguard,Crymych, Withybush, Templeton and Thornton in Milford Haven which were all manned throughout the night.

Although the whole county suffered, it was South Pembrokeshire which was worst hit with several roads closed due to rainwater washing down from fields. Dozens more roads, including the A40 , were passable only with care when the downpour was at its heaviest.

Properties were flooded in Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Tenby, Llangwm, Hook and Clarbeston Road.

"I'd like to thank our front-line employees who worked extremely hard in enormously trying circumstances" said Councillor Davies.

"Many of them had spent a full day in work on Friday before being sent out in atrocious weather conditions to work alongside the emergency services.

"To get where the help was needed most they had to brave dangerous road conditions. I am very grateful to them for their efforts."
