Tenby town councillors have given their backing to a residents only parking scheme for the town's Queen's Parade.
In a letter to them on Tuesday night, Mr. Barrie Davies, Pembrokeshire County Council's head of infrastructure management, said that the suggestion was for 10 spaces on the west (golf club) side of the road which would be available to residents of Queens Parade who purchased an annual permit.
Clr. Hallett felt that such schemes could cause problems when more residents bought permits than there were spaces available, leading to animosity when people were unable to get a space.
Clr. Folland said that he was unaware of this being a problem anywhere else in the county where similar schemes operated.
However, he did wonder if there was more room available for more residents' parking spaces.
"Most of the houses along one side have drives, it only looks to be about 12 who need spaces, it would only need a couple more," agreed the Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown.
Clr. Stuart Fecci pointed out that such schemes were only put forward following a request from residents and all knew that a permit did not guarantee them a space.
"They all enter into the agreement knowing the risks," he said.
Clr. Folland also noted that spaces were always allowed for non-permit holders and other motorists.
He felt that if these were removed, it would reduce the volume of traffic 'cruising' around looking for spaces.
