Residents are being invited to help shape the future of walking, wheeling and cycling routes across Pembrokeshire as part of the next stage of the County Council’s Active Travel Network Map (ATNM) review.

Pembrokeshire County Council is updating its Active Travel Network Map, which identifies existing and future routes for active travel. Under the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, local authorities must regularly review and improve opportunities for walking, wheeling and cycling.

Following a 12-week statutory consultation that concluded in April 2026, the Council is now carrying out a second consultation phase to give the public an opportunity to confirm that their views have been properly considered.

The Council is seeking feedback on whether:

· Appropriate potential new routes have been identified.

· Existing routes requiring improvement have been correctly identified.

· Routes that already meet agreed standards have been accurately assessed.

The consultation covers the Welsh Government-designated active travel localities of - Fishguard/Goodwick, Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Tenby, Saundersfoot, Haverfordwest, Neyland, Milford Haven, Johnston, Narberth and St Dogmaels.

Residents can view the proposed routes and submit comments through the interactive online map at: https://datamap.gov.wales/survey/Pembrokeshire-AT-survey-two/

The consultation opened on August 3 and closes on September 28.

Paper copies are available on request by contacting the Transport Strategy Team on 01437 775182 or by email at [email protected]. Alternative formats can also be provided upon request.

Please note that the consultation relates only to walking, wheeling and cycling routes within the Active Travel Network Map and does not cover Public Rights of Way or other highway matters.

Recent Active Travel Scheme additions in Saundersfoot have drawn mixed local feedback.

County councillor for the seaside village’s South ward, Cllr Chris Williams said that he sends numerous photographs and reports to Pembrokeshire County Council highlighting concerns from residents relating to parking throughout the village, particularly around the current parking arrangement outside the Labels for Less premises.

“I continue to observe issues at this location, including reduced visibility, congestion and vehicles parking behind the designated bay, extending towards the adjacent dual loading bay,” he said.

“As the village becomes busier during the summer months, these problems become even more apparent.

“Residents regularly contact me with photographs and reports showing how this parking arrangement can disrupt the free flow of traffic. On some occasions, illegally parked vehicles have prevented others from moving, causing unnecessary delays and congestion.

I have continued to raise every reported incident with Pembrokeshire County Council and the Council is working through the appropriate review process. However, concerns remain and I will continue to press for a swift solution for the removal of this parking bay.

“I am hopeful that improvements can be agreed and implemented over the coming weeks to make the area safer and improve the flow of traffic.

“Unfortunately, inconsiderate parking can quickly escalate into wider traffic problems and, more importantly, create avoidable safety risks,” added Cllr Williams.
