For the second time in a month, heavy rain has caused chaos around Pembrokeshire and west Carmarthenshire. Over 100 Pembrokeshire County Council employees worked tirelessly to tackle widespread flooding in the county on Tuesday. Staff were out from the early hours of the morning distributing sandbags, clearing gulleys, diverting flood water and putting up flood warning signs. Over 100mm of rain fell in part of West Wales, with the main areas affected including Tenby, Haverfordwest and Solva. South Pembrokeshire was also particularly badly affected by road closures. Roads and sections of roads which were closed included Pentlepoir to Saundersfoot by the Railway Bridge; Sageston to Tenby; Lamphey to Tenby, and Point Lane to Cosheston. Vacuum pumps were used to clear water at Carew and a stone wall collapsed near Cresselly resulting in the closure of the road. Several properties throughout the county were flooded and a number of trees came down. Greenhill School in Tenby closed early for the day at 2.15 pm because of the problems on the roads. School transport was arranged to take the pupils home. The emergency services were also kept busy, with the Mid and West Wales Fire Service attending around 200 calls across their area in a 24-hour period. Firefighters from Tenby mopped up flooding at Valley Road, Saundersfoot, New Road, Begelly, Stepaside and Amroth, while their colleagues in Narberth and Whitland were kept equally as busy, with the Whitland crew dealing with the worst floods in the town in eight years. Station Road was closed to traffic after the River Taf burst its banks and firefighters were involved in pumping away the water, believed to have been nine inches deep in places. As well as causing problems on the roads, the heavy downpour also led to disruption to rail services.
