A spate of vandalism around parts of Tenby - seemingly from someone with an anti-Welsh language agenda - has been condemned by local councillors.

The Welsh wording/translation on a plethora of signage around picturesque parts of the seaide town has been targeted in recent weeks, with someone spraying black paint over the information, to cover up the information.

Signage for parking restrictions; and the likes of those carrying information for the seasonal dog beach restrictions, around parts of the town, including prominent spots overlooking North Beach have been targeted with the graffiti in recent times.

The Mayor of Tenby, Cllr Dai Morgan has slammed the actions of those responsible.

“Tenby Town Council strongly condemns graffiti and vandalism anywhere in our town,” said the Mayor.

“Such behaviour is unacceptable. It damages property, spoils public spaces, and costs the community time and money to put right.

“It shows a lack of respect for Tenby and for the people who live, work, and visit here.

“The vandalism will be reported, and we encourage anyone with information to do the same,” he added.

County councillor for Tenby’s North ward, County Councillor Michael Williams [who represents Plaid Cymru on the Local Authority] commented: “I had started to believe that this kind of behaviour had long past. What a sad person.

“On the positive side, just take a look at the incredible growth and demand in the area for Welsh language education.”

On the matter, a spokesperson for Pembrokeshire County Council, who are responsible for the signage, said: “Pembrokeshire County Council is aware of the vandalism of a number of signs around Tenby.

“The Council is currently arranging for the signs to be cleaned or replaced where necessary.

“Deliberate vandalism of this kind diverts time and resources away from important public services,” they added.
