Any police force facing significant additional costs due to unplanned or unexpected events can apply for additional funding from the Police Special Grant.  Dyfed Powys Police made an application, and we will be providing them with up to £2.5m of additional funding.

Penally has provided emergency capacity in response to pressures put on the asylum estate during COVID. As pressures have eased, we have decided not to extend emergency planning permission beyond this month.
