Tenby’s Fire Crew along with Pembrokeshire County Council maintenance staff have been praised for dealing with recent ‘flash-flooding’ and icy conditions at a neighbouring seaside village.

In his monthly report for December, Saundersfoot's South ward’s county councillor Chris Williams said: “December was a fairly busy month in Saundersfoot starting with flash floods around Brewery Terrace. I would like to thank the various teams who came out to help and make sure everything returned to normal.

“Thanks to the local fire brigade and the team at PCC who came and cleaned up and cleared the drains.

“The situation of the blocked drain outside the Boat House in Cambrian Terrace has been particularly bad during this month. It seems that there isn’t a connected pipe for the excess water to run off.

“PCC discovered that the connection has been damaged at the same time that there was development across the road. I’ve been assured that this will be attended to in the New Year,” continued Cllr Williams.

“During the icy conditions I had numerous calls regarding dangerous areas such as slippery steps and the Health Centre car park.

“I would like to compliment the staff at PCC with regard to the rear steps of the surgery and car park as they came out within thirty minutes and sorted the problem along with other hazardous parts in the village.

“There was also an incident of the early hours of Christmas Eve where a car collided with the hedge outside Wesley Chapel on the junction of Westfield Road. PCC responded straight away and cleared the pavement and debris immediately,” he added.
