A row over whether a meet of the South Pembrokeshire Hunt should be welcomed into Tenby's Tudor Square as part of the resort's festive programme continued this week. Town councillors recently voted to back a proposal to invite the South Pembs Hunt to any organised parade held in Tenby over Christmas, with the Hunt indicating that they would be happy to return to the town. At their meeting on Tuesday night, Clr. Mrs. Trisha Putwain, who previously voted against the proposal, queried what liability obligations the town council had. "Where do we stand if someone is bitten by one of the dogs or trampled by a horse?" she asked. "Also, isn't it the ruling that dogs should be kept on a lead in the walled town all year round? "There was a report of a child getting nipped on the last occasion," added Clr. Mrs. Putwain, who was asked by her colleague, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown, if she was a member of the anti-hunt group to which she said she was not. "It's part and parcel of the meet that dogs aren't on leads. This is getting ridiculous now," commented Clr. Mrs. Brown. Deputy Mayor, Clr. Paul Rapi, asked if clarification could be sought on the dogs on leads ruling. FOOTNOTE: Following the discussions, the town clerk, Mr. Andrew Davies, checked with Pembrokeshire County Council's Mr. Tom Hayes, with regard to the dogs on leads order, and it was clarified that the order, which covers High Street and Tudor Square, only runs from May 1 to September 30 each year - concurrent with the dogs on beaches prohibition byelaws.
