White Lion Street in the dark!

Tenby's Chamber of Trade and Tourism are to be approached to see if they would consider the festive lighting of trees in the town's White Lion Street.

Before members of Tenby Town Council on Tuesday night was a letter from former Mayor and town councillor, Mr. Lewis Day, who noted that during the Winter Carnival, the corner of Warren Street and South Parade was in darkness, save for the lights from St. Johns Church.

"I think it is time that we consider floodlighting the corner between White Lion Street and the Parade," suggested Mr. Day.

He proposed illuminating the area from White Lion Street and St. Johns.

This would, he felt, act as a more welcoming sign at night when visitors drive into the town from Deer Park."

Councillors felt that it would be difficult to floodlight the area, however, as the lights would not be able to be mounted on the town walls.

They would have to be located on the floor, which could make them a target for vandals.

"Part of the problem is that the trees in South Parade are lit by festive lights," commented Clr. Mrs. Caroline Thomas.

"Putting similar lights in the trees in South Parade could solve the problem."

It was pointed out that the responsibility of the festive lights in South Parade was that of the Chamber of Trade and Tourism, and it was agreed that the town council write to them asking if they would consider more lights in White Lion Street.
