Pembrokeshire County

Council plans to carry out road

resurfacing and footway

improvement work in

Saundersfoot early in the New

Year.

The resurfacing work forms

part of the council's capital

carriageway strengthening

Improvement work

at Saundersfoot

programme.

In addition, over £500,000 is

to be spent on providing safe

walking and cycling routes in

the village.

The work is the result of a

successful bid for Safe Routes

in Communities funding from

the National Assembly.

The schemes focus on new

and improved footways, safe

crossings, shelters, cycle racks

and traffic calming measures

in Saundersfoot.

Unfortunately, the work will

entail some disruption to roads

in the area and around

Saundersfoot Primary School.

Pupils have been given letters

to take home to parents

outlining the work due to be

carried out.

During the week of January

4-8, resurfacing work will take

place on Cambrian Terrace and

Milford Street. Works in this

week will be relatively light,

but may cause delays in getting

to school.

From January 11 onwards,

major works will start on

Church Terrace, Wogan

Terrace and Francis Lane. This

will involve closure of either

Wogan Terrace or Church

Terrace, with two-way traffic

lights to divert traffic along the

other road.

The closures should only

occur between 9.20 am and

2.45 pm, but this cannot be

guaranteed. All-day closures

may also occur at weekends

and over the February halfterm.

During closures, motorists

are advised to be prepared for

long delays and are urged to

use alternative routes wherever

possible.

The work is being carried out

by Alun Griffiths (Contractors)

Ltd., and is estimated to be

completed in around 12 weeks.
