Plans are afoot for a meeting to take place to look into potential future uses for the sluice on Tenby Harbour.

Further to the matter being brought up by Clr. Mrs. Tish Rossiter at last week's meeting of Tenby Town Council, where she queried whether there was a need for the sluice any longer, requesting that it's future be considered as part of Pembrokeshire County Council's plans to carry out 'environmental enhancements' to the harbour area, Clr. Mike Evans has said that a meeting is being arranged with the sailing club, Sea Cadets and harbour users to discuss all possible future uses of the sluice.

Contact has already been made between the town council and Anne Robinson, of the county council's regeneration team, who is liaising with colleagues over current harbour improvements, and also Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority's building conservation officer Rob Scourfield, to see how any proposals would be received prior to any meeting being set up and what funding avenues could be explored to carry out improvements on the sluice.

Clr. Mrs. Rossiter suggested that if the sluice was no longer needed, then it might be more beneficial to cover it up with decking so that better use could be made of that area of the harbour.
