Overview of the result

While there were a number of keenly contested wards a large number of wards were uncontested.^[2] The Conservatives took control of the Council in a result described by the Pembrokeshire Herald as a defeat for the "radical caucus". Even so, the Liberals polled strongly in northern parts of the county.^[3]
