Further works on an 'enhancement scheme' taking in improvements to Tenby's multi-storey car park were announced this week. Pembrokeshire County Council's senior engineer and project manager, Rob Hamer, and transport strategy officer, Ceri Rees, met with members of Tenby Town Council on Tuesday night, along with Gareth Howell, of property and infrastructure company Capita Symonds, to discuss the second phase of the works. The first part of the scheme has seen improvements carried out along Upper Park Road, with toilet facilities upgraded, a new Tourist Information Centre built, an improved pedestrian footway, and bus stop/shelter introduced. Town councillors were told that the key elements of the second phase of works, would include improvements to the multi-storey car park facade, along with the introduction of a glass passenger lift and open external staircase, as well as an improved bus stop along the South Parade. A new office for parking enforcement officers would also be introduced down by The Green, alongside a refurbishment of the toilet block in that area. Clr. Will Rossiter asked the developers if they would take into account the fact that many pedestrians crossed the road to get to the town walls by the South Parade, when they carried out works for the bus stop there. Clr. Lawrence Blackhall said that cars illegally parking in that area often caused problems, along with buses and coaches that parked at the stop, rather than just dropping-off. Mr. Howell said that it was their duty as designers to ensure that the area was safe and therefore they couldn't consider putting in a crossing, but that hopefully realigning the kerb would make it easier for buses to pull in and still allow for traffic to pass through. He also said that a temporary traffic island would be introduced in that area. "It is something we will take back to our parking enforcement officers and also Silcox coaches," said Mr. Hamer. Colour trials for the multi-storey would be carried out in the next couple of weeks, with lighter green favoured. "It will be a pigmented water based product used, that will give a vibrant look and is also easier to clean over time," explained Mr. Howell. Clr. Trevor Hallett praised the plans for the lift on the multi-storey. "I think it will be a vast improvement and long, long overdue," he said, while Deputy Mayor, Clr. Paul Rapi, said that he liked the colour scheme of differing shades of 'Pembrokeshire green' for the car park. It was mentioned by Clr. Blackhall and Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane, that the first phase of works had left areas for planting, but with county council budgets being cut, they wanted assurances that these areas and any future areas included in the scheme, would be maintained. "The contractors are duty bound to maintain the trees for five years, so we've been in touch with them about that," he said, whilst also confirming that they were looking for an alternative spot in that area to reintroduce the recycling bins. Plans for the works, which are expected to commence in the autumn, following the Ironman event, will be on display at the town council offices at the De Valence
