Pembrokeshire County Council (Welsh: Cyngor Sir Penfro) is the governing body for Pembrokeshire, one of the Principal Areas of Wales. It received criticism for having leased a Porsche sports car for its former chief executive, who was paid £192,000 a year and then received a £277,000 pay-off when he left the post in 2014.^[1]
