“On behalf of Carmarthenshire County Council, I would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to Peter’s family and loved ones at this difficult time.

“During his time on the Council, Peter was a valued member of the Licensing Committee and had previously served on the Planning Committee. He was always keen to ensure the voices of local residents were heard and represented.
“Beyond his work as a county councillor, Peter made a significant contribution to public life. He was a former Chair of Llandybie Community Council, a former Justice of the Peace, and served as Secretary and Director of Cyngor ar Bopeth Rhydaman. Through these roles, he demonstrated a lifelong commitment to supporting and serving others.”
