While stressing that local police officers try to make the best of the situation, Mr. Ken Fryer, of St. Teresa's in St. Florence Parade - a long time campaigner against what he calls 'the culture of stags, hens, yobs and slobs'- has become so concerned at what he sees to be police inaction to stop 'the sauced up antics of stags' that he has written an open letter to senior police officers demanding that they take the situation seriously.
"It would be nice to think senior police officers take seriously the job of policing Tenby at night," Mr. Fryer writes. "It would be nice but under present circumstances difficult.
"Included here - top of the list in fact - must be the Chief Constable.
"As anyone who has witnessed the antics of any sauced-up stag, hen, yob or slob leaving the kareoke'd snug (sic) singing like a pop star, looking like a soap star and acting like a pig; or anyone trying to talk to an empty police station at midnight will know, Tenby at night is definitely not well policed," he continues.
"There are other 'agencies' who appear to have been equally laid back, but to these senior police officers must be attributed the lion's share of guilt, for by doing nothing about it, they condone it.
"We really have to expect, and get, more from them, otherwise we accept all too readily their standard whinge of being undermanned. These senior officers, the Chief Constable included, to whom we pay full rates, are only doing a part-time job in policing Tenby at night.
"Wouldn't you think they would beg to prove they are worth it?" he asks.
