Obstructions forcing people out 'onto the road' highlighted by Tenby's Deputy Mayor
People being forced out onto the road due to A-Frames and obstructions causing issues, has been highlighted by Tenby’s Deputy Mayor to fellow town councillors.
Discussing the matter at this month’s meeting of Tenby Town Council, before the pedestrianisation period had finished for the summer on September 13, Deputy Mayor, Cllr Charles Dale told his colleagues that certain cafes were keeping table and chairs out after the pedestrianisation scheme had finished for the day at 5.30pm, and people were being ‘forced out’ into a ‘live carriageway’.
Councillors heard that Pembrokeshire Council officers were aware there were on-going issues with A frames and obstructions during the scheme, which were in hand said Cllr Sam Skyrme-Blackhall.
The Clerk said that some cafes have licenses allowing tables and chairs outside café culture hours, and that PCC officers were out checking that the rules were adhered to.
A spokesperson for Pembrokeshire Council who are said to be meeting with Tenby Chamber of Trade to discuss the ongoing concerns, to strike a balance during the ‘café culture’ period, said: “We are reviewing our current policy and the proposal is to take a revised policy to a future Policy and Pre-decision committee, with a date yet to be set.”
