Plans are in place for the resurfacing of a hazardous walkway leading down to Tenby’s harbour.

Members of Tenby Town Council recently called for an immediate inspection and plan of works for the walkway, known as the ‘Dead House Steps’ due to them being situated near to the entrance of the old town mortuary.

The walkway, which leads from Crackwell Street overlooking the town’s harbour, is a vital route for members of the RNLI to gain access to the Inshore Lifeboat launch station.

Councillors stated that the repair work on the public footpath needed to be carried out urgently as it had become dangerous and slippery.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council, the town clerk, Andrew Davies, told members that the latest update he had received from Pembrokeshire County Council was that the authority had ordered 16 metres of tarmac ready to resurface the area.
