Over £300,000 is to be spent on providing safer routes for children travelling to and from school in Tenby. Pembrokeshire County Council has received £797,000 Safe Routes in Communities funding from the National Assembly - the third highest grant allocation out of the 22 local authorities in Wales. Of this grant, £331,000 will be spent on improving access for children travelling to and from the three schools in Heywood Lane with the aim of encouraging walking and reducing traffic congestion. The grant will be spent on cycle sheds and stands at Tenby Junior School and Greenhill Secondary School, a shared use path from the entrance into Greenhill running west along Marsh Road, a shared use and footway link through the site of Greenhill School, a footway link through the site of Greenhill School, a footway link and crossing island along Clicketts Lane to the playing fields, a pathway link between the Clicketts and the car park at the rear of the Leisure Centre and a footway link from Clicketts Close into Knowling Mead. Consultants Thomas Morgan and Associates have been appointed to oversee the work, which is due to start in the near future.
