There were delays at the Pentlepoir, Kilgetty and Begelly areas earlier this morning as a skip lorry lost half its contents of recycling glass bottles over half a mile whilst traveling northbound on A478 lane towards Kilgetty.

Council workers were in force to clean up the roadway with the assistance of police officers, with the local Neighbourhood Policing Team posting on social media a warning to drivers to avoid the A477 Kilgetty roundabout, Begelly and Pentlepoir. “There has been a substantial amount of glass fallen from a lorry onto the roads,” said a police spokesperson.“Officers are at scene, however due to the large service area of the issue, there continues to be a lot of disruption/danger.“Glass is also on the road from Templeton up towards the Haverfordwest roundabout, A40 westbound. “Our traffic units are at scene and PCC’s road sweepers have been deployed.”Following the incident, Pembrokeshire County Council issued an apology: “Items escaped from one of the Council’s hook-link lorries carrying a skip containing glass while it was en route from the Authority’s civic amenity site at Crane Cross to Withyhedge landfill site at Rudbaxton near Haverfordwest,” said a spokesperson.“The Council immediately deployed crew and plant - including road sweepers and blowers - to remove the debris from the sections of affected road.“The skip is currently being examined and the fault will be rectified before being brought back into use. The Authority apologises for inconvenience caused to road users.”Only yesterday (Wednesday) there were further delays in the area as a lorry became stuck under the railway bridge on the A478 from Pentlepoir heading to Saundersfoot.
