The first elections toPembrokeshire County Council were held on 4 May 1995.[1] It was followed by the1999 election. On the same day there were elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales and community councils in Wales.
All council seats were up for election. These were the first elections held following local government reorganisation and the abolition ofDyfed County Council. The ward boundaries for the new authority were based on the previousPreseli Pembrokeshire District Council andSouth Pembrokeshire District Council with the majority of wards continuing to elect one councillor. In some cases where two or three members were previously elected the number of representatives was reduced.

Most sitting members of Dyfed County council sought election to the new authority. A number were also members of the previous district councils but others contested a ward against a sitting district councillor.[2]
The boundaries were identical to those of the same ward on the previous South Pembrokeshire District Council. The retiring Independent district councillor (and also the county councillor), A.W. Edwards, sought election for the neighbouringLampeter Velfrey ward and the seat was taken unopposed by the Liberal Democrat candidate.
