Forget Z-Cars, police in Tenby are taking to a Q- Car this summer to patrol the resort's streets. The two-seater buggy is being wheeled out while the town's summer pedestrianisation scheme is in force, to reach those parts of the resort other vehicles cannot reach. The £4,000 Q pod sports buggy has a maximum speed of 45 mph and can be used across different terrains. Funded by a Home Office grant, it is owned by Pembrokeshire County Council and will be used by officers of Dyfed Powys Police under the Community Safety Partnership umbrella. Clr. Brian Hall, cabinet member for the environment and transportation, said the pedestrianisation scheme aimed to ease vehicle congestion in the summer and make Tenby more pleasant for everyone. "While emergency vehicles have dispensation under the pedestrianisation scheme, an ordinary vehicle can cause severe disruption in the town centre due to the sheer volume of people," he said. "The buggy will cause less disruption and also be more environmentally friendly." Sgt. Gary Jones, of Tenby police station, said it would enable police officers to respond to incidents in the town centre and on its beaches and also enable them to patrol less accessible areas to prevent anti-social behaviour. "It will enable officers to reach parts of the resort other vehicles cannot reach," he said. "While its high visibility will have a reassuring impact on the public." Tenby's pedestrianisation scheme came into effect on July 2 and will continue until the end of August. The centre of the popular resort will be largely traffic free between 11 am and 5 pm daily, although the scheme does permit some limited travel within the walled town area subject to certain criteria.
