Local councillors are to look into ways of trying to alleviate speeding on a busy route out of Tenby town. At Wednesday's meeting of the town council, members discussed the problems experienced in Park Road, where motorists constantly break the speed limit. Clr. Damien Brown suggested looking into the possibility of reversing the traffic flow on the road or even having a two-way system, something which had been discussed many years ago under Mayor, Clr. Gilroy Phillips. He felt that this scheme would not only create a new main route into the town, but would also enable visitors to see the multi-storey car park facility as soon as they entered the town. He also felt that the system would prevent illegal parking on the road. Clr. Caroline Thomas said the idea had been seriously considered under Mayor, Clr. Phillips, but that there were more points against the idea rather than in favour. Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane also stated that buses would encounter problems with pulling in if they were travelling up the reverse way. Mayor, Clr. John Griffiths informed his colleagues that the issue of speeding on the road had been brought up at a recent Tenby Neighbourhood Policing Forum. Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown felt that 'sleeping policemen' could be looked into as they were being introduced again in Cardiff, while Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane thought that flashing 30mph speed signs like those in Pentlepoir could be erected. "I met with Darren Thomas, head of highways and construction at Pembrokeshire County Council, recently, to look into what signage options we can introduce in that area, as not only is it a residential street, it is also classed as a primary road," said Clr. Evans. "Speeding is anti-social behaviour and I know that the town's PCSO has been targeting the area, so we must hope that the police continue to take the appropriate action by enforcing the speed limit and also by issuing parking tickets to the offenders," he added.
