History
Prior to 1995 Pembroke Dock Llanion was a ward for Dyfed County Council and also included the neighbouring Pembroke Dock Central and the community of Cosheston.[5]
Following the recommendations of a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales, effective from the 2022 local elections, the Pembroke Dock Llanion and Pembroke Dock Central wards were reconfigured, to increase the electorate of Central. And area of the Llanion ward as far as the Pembroke Ferry road was transferred to Pembroke Dock Central. The remaining area of the former Pembroke Dock Llanion ward became a new ward, named 'Pembroke Dock: Bush'.[6]
