A local county councillor has requested that details of a new school development in Tenby are urgently sent to him, as he, like many others in the town, are being kept in the dark over the proposals.

Clr. Michael Williams, who represents the Tenby North ward, has written to Pembrokeshire County Council leader Jamie Adams, seeking details of the authority's plans to replace Tenby VC Infants School and Tenby Junior Community School in Heywood Lane, with an English medium primary school and a Welsh medium primary school.

The school's closures are due to be implemented by August 2016, with the new schools, which will serve the catchment area of the two existing schools, opened on September 1, 2016.

Plans to relocate Tenby Library at the site have also been mooted by the authority.

Clr. Williams has now asked for clarification on the details of the proposals to be sent to him as a matter of urgency.

"I have not received any information or briefing regarding this development, and once again find that, despite phone calls and emails to the county council, as the local member I am entirely in the dark," he said in his letter to Clr. Adams.

"I would point out that other members have raised the same problem over a number of years, of complete lack of information on developments which are in their area, and assurances were given by your predecessor that this would not happen again.

"It is extremely embarrassing to be asked by constituents about developments which could very well seriously impinge on their quality of life, and have to tell them that I know absolutely nothing about them," he added, requesting urgent assistance on the matter.

Residents of Serpentine Road, whose properties back on to part of the site, have already complained that they are not being kept in the loop on the proposals, and had to read details of the proposals through a public notice in the newspaper.

Tenby Town Council called for urgent talks with the authority's director of education, Jake Morgan, last month, but have yet to receive a response, despite the consultation deadline on the proposal ending in mid-July.
