Sir,

If Mr. Griffiths inspected the plans agreed quite a long time ago, he would find the kerb to kerb width of White Lion Street at the High Street junction will be the same as now, but moved over to give a walkable width pavement alongside the White Lion Hotel.

At the junction with Upper Frog Street, White Lion Street is to be wider (to ease turning movements), but narrowing towards High Street.

Both pavements will be wider, and there will even be a bit more space between the kerb and the re-erected pillars to the new Royal Gatehouse building's balcony, that used to get thumped by traffic squeezing through.

The planners (not the developers who had an open mind) wanted to retain the narrow street as a visual 'pinch point'.

The Civic Society pressed for an extra yard or two of carriageway width at the High Street end, but planners and highways agreed the 'pinch point'. Plans of proposals such as these are available at the Tenby Town Council offices, and the staff there are always most helpful when we wish to check the latest proposals before they are committed to concrete and tarmac.

The many tight junctions, narrow streets and pavements, increased vehicle flows and amount of pedestrian use in the walled town are some of the reasons why the society have wanted a 20 mph (or 10 mph) speed limit in the walled town; such restrictions have been made all over the county, but no need in Tenby? We think there is!

Harry Gardiner,

Chairman,

Tenby Civic Society.
