Tenby Town Council are to approach Pembrokeshire County Council to apply for a licence with temporary consent, to enhance the Jubilee Play Area with facilities for children under seven.
Clr. Mike Evans told his colleagues at a meeting of the town council on Tuesday night that he had put the question to Clr. Ken Rowlands, cabinet member for the environment, at a meeting at County Hall in Haverfordwest last week.
Town councillors have become increasingly frustrated in the past couple of years with their attempts to redevelop a toddler park at the Jubilee Play Area, with the county council recently proposing that an area at Battery Gardens could be developed as an alternative option.
At the meeting in County Hall, Clr. Evans asked if there was any logical reason why the county council would not support a scheme to enhance a play area at the Jubilee, seeing as the town council were willing to maintain the existing area and seek a partner to bring in play equipment for children.
He also stated that as the Jubilee Gardens was a designated open green/public space in the JUDP and also in the proposed LDP of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, it would render any other kind of development plans to take place there unimaginable.
"This has been ongoing for several seasons, I want to know if officers are ready and prepared to be part of a solution and not a problem when discussing the Jubilee with the town council," said Clr. Evans at last week's meeting with the county council.
He also explained to county council's cabinet that he didn't think that the Battery Gardens was a suitable site for a potential toddler play area, as there was a 300-foot drop too close.
Since putting the question to Clr. Rowlands, town clerk Andrew Davies and Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown have been invited to meet with county council officers at County Hall next week to discuss the Jubilee Play Area.
"If county council have no objection to us having a licence there, it would allow us to progress forward and put some equipment in," Clr. Evans told his town council colleagues.
