Vehicular access to a street overlooking Tenby harbour will be temporarily prohibited later this month for renovation works to be carried out.

The effect of the road traffic order, which members of the town council were informed about at their meeting on Tuesday night, is to temporarily prohibit all vehicular traffic (other than exempted vehicles) from proceeding along Crackwell Street, from its junction with Bridge Street, north-west to its junction with High Street.

Crackwell Street is one-way with traffic permitted to travel in a north-west direction only. The alternative route for traffic will be via St. Julians Street, Tudor Square and High Street.

“The proposed order is necessary so that scaffold can be erected in the narrow carriageway to enable renovation of a property,” wrote Pembrokeshire County Council’s head of highways and construction, Darren Thomas, in correspondence to the town council.

“It is intended that the restrictions will come into effect on Tuesday, September 20, and remain in force for approximately six weeks.

“Pedestrian access will be maintained together with vehicular access to properties located outside of the works area,” he added.
