Concern has been voiced by a local councillor regarding part of Pembrokeshire County Council's enhancement scheme in Tenby's High Street.
Clr. Mrs. Kerri Durham told her colleagues at Tuesday night's meeting of the town council that she very nearly witnessed an accident when a family walked from the pavement on to the raised section of road that has been introduced in the street between St. Nicholas Lane and Bank Lane.
"The family clearly didn't realise that the pavement had finished, as there is no raised kerb or definition between the road," she said. "They walked straight out onto the road whilst chatting, and were very nearly hit by a vehicle.
"It appears to be a dangerous scenario and I think an accident is waiting to happen.
"I'm just wondering how a blind person would be able to cope and tell the difference when crossing that section," she added.
Clr. Mrs. Maureen Ward said that she had spoken to a person with a guide dog about the issue, and they had said that other towns had introduced ridged pavement areas, so guide dogs would know where it was safe to cross.
Clr. Mike Evans said that he would consult with the county council over the matter.
The work to install the raised table/platform, which has been constructed in Tegula concrete sett paving, is due to be complete before the weekend. These works form phase five of the county council's ongoing enhancement works within the walled town. The next phase will commence in the autumn, and involves reconstructing the carriageway from White Lion Corner to St. Nicholas Lane, and continuing the footway and carriageway upgrade towards Tudor Square.
Clr. Evans said that the enhancement works were progressing well and that they were very much needed to bring the town up to scratch.
