Carew (electoral ward)

Carew was the name of an electoral ward in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was also coterminous with the boundaries of the community of Carew.

A ward of Pembrokeshire County Council since 1995 it was previously a ward of the former South Pembrokeshire District Council.

Following the recommendations of a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales, effective from the 2022 local elections, the Carew ward was merged with the neighbouring community of Jeffreyston to create a new ward of 'Carew and Jeffreyston'.[1]
