Ambitious projects to revamp two of Tenby's main car parks are in the final stages of being drawn up. Pembrokeshire County Council confirmed this week that consultants had prepared a significant amount of detail to support the proposed planning applications for the multi-storey and Butts Field car park developments. Together with the council, the consultants are currently reviewing some final issues in respect of the proposals, before they are submitted to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority in the next couple of months. Both projects are believed to be for mixed developments, incorporating car parking and residential accommodation. The multi-storey scheme is also likely to include retail outlets. Pembrokeshire County Council remains keen to maximise the amount of public gain in respect of improved environmental works and additional car parking. Meanwhile, soundings are being taken by the consultants with potential developers to ensure that the schemes, if approved, should be capable of development and deliver the benefits the council would wish to achieve. These consultations are seen as vital in the final shaping of the scheme and the planning application. Elsewhere in the town, at the harbour, a number of the historic stores and buildings have been repaired and restored over the last 12 months, all making a difference to the appearance and quality of this important part of the Town's Conservation Area. These include the Sea Cadets building and the original lifeboat house on the Castle Beach slipway. It is hoped that this programme can continue in future years with a key project for next year being the improvement of the former Ministry of Defence building on the Harbour Pier to provide a yacht station for visiting yachtsmen with accommodation for the harbourmaster. It had been hoped to complete a project to standardise and relay all the harbour chains inside the harbour before the boats went back in near Easter. This has now been delayed to November as completion before Easter could not be guaranteed. A smaller scheme to provide 15 external moorings is going ahead. Council spokesman, Len Mullins, also added that these works were part of a continuing drive to push up the quality of the environment in the historic resort. He highlighted The Esplanade Gardens and High Street paving works, which are currently nearing completion, as a particularly good example of improvement, which not only looks much better, but will also be easier to maintain to a high standard and of which the council is particularly proud.
