Tenby councillors say they are open to suggestions about where to re-site one of the town's controversial noticeboards.

Since the board was removed from the Norton junction, as many people had complained about it obscuring one of the most picturesque views of the harbour, town councillors have tried to come up with ideas about what to do with it.

At Tuesday's meeting of the council, Clr. Mrs. Tish Rossiter suggested that the board be utilised in the town's Battery Gardens, as an interpretation board to give information to the public on why the area contains certain plants, while Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown felt that it should still be retained as a noticeboard for the town, as the one on South Parade was well used and served its purpose.

She felt that a good spot to relocate the unused board would be on The Esplanade in place of the rundown charity box that had been there as long as she could remember.

"It was bought for the town and should be used for the town, I don't think it's appropriate that it should go to one of the schools as they have their own noticeboards," commented Clr. Mrs. Brown.

Clr. David Morgan confirmed that the schools were interested in having the board should the town council have no use for it.

Clr. Mrs. Trisha Putwain, however, felt that the board should not be re-sited anywhere and instead be consigned to the rubbish dump.

"If we can't give it back to the sculptor, then I think we should put it somewhere where no one can see it.

"It caused outcry amongst locals and thankfully we managed to get rid of one, but I'd like them both gone ideally.

"If the town clerk has said that it would cost us more again to re-install it somewhere else, then I for one really don't think we should spend any more money on it," she added.

Clr. Mrs. Rossiter suggested that the council should make a list of options for the noticeboard's use and let the people of Tenby vote on where it should go.
