The streets of Tenby are to be pedestrianised again this summer. The centre of the popular resort will be largely traffic free from Sunday, July 22, to Monday, September 3, between 11 am and 5 pm daily. The scheme is based on last year's experimental traffic order, which will see the walled town divided into three areas with varying degrees of permitted access. The core area of Tudor Square, part of High Street and Church Street will be largely traffic free, although access to emergency vehicles and services will be allowed. The eastern and western areas will have permitted access for residents, business owners, relatives and harbour permit users, while access to holiday accommodation will also be allowed. Access permits for the two zones will be issued and they will need to be displayed while travelling within the respective areas of the walled town. The scheme will be supported by two free Park and Ride services, which will operate between 10 am and 6 pm each day. The service running from the North Beach car park will be accessible to disabled travellers and will provide a service into the walled town down to the harbour and back. The Salterns Park and Ride bus will provide a service to and from the Salterns and The Green car parks to the boundary of the Walled Town on South Parade. Clr. Jamie Adams, cabinet member for transportation, said this year's scheme followed the success of earlier summer pedestrianisation schemes, which had been welcomed by the majority of visitors and residents. "It aims to ease vehicle congestion in the summer and make Tenby more pleasant for everyone," he said. For further information on the scheme, ring 01437 774551 or 775282.
