Following the recent official opening of Tenby's new lifeboat station, town councillors raised the topic this week of what was to happen to the old slipway and building. They had received correspondence from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park building conservation officer Rob Scourfield, who said that officers were still awaiting further information from the RNLI over efforts to retain the listed building before they could give serious consideration to its future. "My worry is that something needs to be decided on it before it starts to deteriorate and becomes a health and safety concern," Clr. Mrs. Tish Rossiter told her colleagues at their meeting on Tuesday. Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown felt that the council needed to 'strike while the iron was hot'. "We should write to the RNLI and congratulate them on the new lifeboat station, but ask them what their position is on the old building," she suggested, with her fellow members agreeing to the proposal.
