Calls were made this week for a bus bay outside Tenby's Somerfield supermarket to be turned back into pavement in a bid to help solve traffic problems in Upper Park Road.
Concern has been expressed by the town council over the years about the fact that the bus bay is frequently used by car drivers using Somerfield.
As a result, buses unable to get into the bay resort to stopping in the road, impeding the free flow of traffic down one of the main routes out of the town.
The matter was raised at Tenby Town Council's meeting on Tuesday night when Clr. Mickey Folland questioned who had priority on the entry and exit points of the multi-storey car park - pedestrians or drivers?
He revealed that he had witnessed an"unpleasant incident" during the summer when a pedestrian crossing the road with a pushchair almost came into contact with a car "which screamed into the multi-storey."
"There was quite an ugly exchange between the driver and the pedestrian and I believe the driver was later cautioned by the police," Clr. Folland explained.
"However, this did make me wonder who has priority, as the entrance and exit roads are not part of the highway. If the pedestrian has priority, then suitable markings are needed."
Clr. Folland went on to reveal that this incident had also prompted him to look again at the Somerfield bus bay.
"The situation is not getting any better and I think we should ask Pembrokeshire County Council to implement their proposal to remove one of the exits from the multi-storey, extend the bus bay further up to accommodate four coaches and turn the existing bus bay outside the supermarket into a loading and unloading bay," he suggested, adding that the proposal had the backing of the supermarket, the coach operators and the police.
However, Clr. Miss Lis James felt that the bus bay should be 'filled in'.
"If we allow it for loading and unloading, it will just become another place for people to park and cause more problems for the police," she commented.
"If people want to wait for shoppers in the supermarket, they can wait in the multi-storey."
Clr. Mrs. Caroline Thomas recalled that several years ago there had been a plan to move the public toilets in Park Road closer to the multi-storey and to create a bigger area for buses and coaches.
"Why don't we see if this can be implemented?" she asked.
Clr. Folland explained that this idea had failed because of lack of funding, but felt Clr. Miss James's suggestion would be affordable.
Members agreed to ask if the bus bay outside Somerfield could be restored to pavement and one exit road from the multi-storey be closed off to accommodate a larger bus bay outside the bus shelter.
