A local community near Narberth has welcomed the improvements made to a road junction.

The junction to Crinow, east of the town, has historically been difficult for motorists who wish to turn onto the B4314.

Property boundaries in each direction out of the side road have meant that visibility has been severely restricted for road users.

Now, thanks to a Pembrokeshire County Council scheme, the road safety issues have been addressed.

The authority’s Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, Phil Baker, said: “Land generously donated to the scheme allowed the junction to be reconfigured by realigning a hedgebank to the east and two property boundaries to the west.

“While the aim of the project was to primarily improve visibility, the council also took the opportunity to address the problem of standing water at the junction by installing drainage alterations.”

Local County Councillor Elwyn Morse said the community was grateful for the work undertaken.

“Road safety at this junction has vastly improved as a result” he added.

The work was carried out by contractors Evan Pritchard Limited.
