Fresh calls to stop the selling of 'tat' on Tenby's streets

The topic of street trading in Tenby has arisen again ahead of another holiday season, with one local county councillor imploring the Local Authorities to finally clampdown on the selling of what he referred to as ‘tat’ on the seaside town’s streets.
Down the years, mainly since pedestrianisation was introduced for the centre of the seaside town, several business owners within the walled town and councillors have called for Pembrokeshire County Council to make a concerted effort to tackle ongoing issues of unauthorised street trading in Tudor Square and its surrounding streets.
Now, County councillor for Tenby’s North Ward Cllr Michael Williams has once again contacted PCC’s streetcare manager on the topic of unauthorised trading within the town.
“Easter looms, and we can expect the arrival of hair braiders and tattooists and other tat over this period and throughout the season!” stated Cllr Williams in his correspondence.
“Tudor Square is one of the most attractive town squares in Wales and is very negatively affected by the annual arrival of itinerant traders, the square could be sensitively developed as the core of the town,” he added.
