A meeting of the ‘Plastic Free Tenby’ group will take place in September to look at further planning for the future.

The group was set up with the aim to achieve Plastic Free status for the resort, with the initiative supported by Tenby town council.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council, Clr. Laurence Blackhall said he’d be handing over the reigns of the ‘Plastic Free’ group at a meeting scheduled for September 11 (with a venue to be decided) and he’d hope that a fellow councillor might come forward to take his place and lead on the project.

“Despite there being no reports to this town council, there have been activities across the town from organisations such as Tenby Sailing Club taking on beach cleans, and businesses ditching single use plastics,” he commented.

“The meeting after the summer will celebrate what we’ve achieved so far, and look at planning for the future,” added Clr. Blackhall.

The Mayor, Clr. Tony Brown said: “Very well done - the scheme has come on leaps and bounds from what it was last year.”
