Pembrokeshire County Council are planning to introduce shared use paths for cyclists and pedestrians between two key Pembrokeshire towns.

The path is being proposed along a section of Kiln Park Road in Narberth as well as a 6.5-mile multi-user route for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders from Narberth to Haverfordwest.

A diversion for heavy goods vehicles is also being planned to ease congestion throughout the town, apart from when making local deliveries.

Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services Cllr Rhys Sinnett said: “Supporting the health, well-being and safety of Pembrokeshire residents is important to the Local Authority and Active Travel can play a vital role in that.

“We would encourage Narberth residents and visitors to get involved in this latest survey and help shape improvements in the area.”

The aim of the proposal is to provide high quality direct access between Narberth and Haverfordwest, encouraging inclusive active travel and creating a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Transport Strategy Team are consulting on these improvements to the town and an online survey will be launched to gather views from locals.

Officers also want feedback on the works from that have been carried out on Jesse Road to provide improved pedestrian accessibility to and from the primary school.

This Thursday (September 26), at Bloomfield House Community Centre, public engagement sessions will take place from 10am to 12pm, 1pm to 4pm and 6:30pm to 8pm.

The online survey will go live on the same day and will close on November 7 at midnight.

Residents are asked to complete the whole of the survey or just the sections relevant to them.

The proposed plans are available to view on the Pembrokeshire County Council website and hard copies are located at Bloomfield House Community Centre and County Hall.
