Fire breaks out at Manorbier Primary School

Published

on

Fire fighters are currently tackling a major blaze at Manorbier Primary School. Several fire tenders, including an aerial platform from Haverfordwest fire station have been sent to the scene.

All the staff and pupils have been safely evacuated to the near by Ridgeway Manor Park (formerly Buttyland Caravan Park)

A number of pictures posted to social meda show the blaze taking hold in the roof of the property, part of which has now collapsed.

A witness at the scene said that there was work going on at the school at the present time, with some scaffolding erected around the roof.

A neighbour was the first to spot the smoke and raised the alarm, aiding a speedy evacuation of all inside.

A spokesperson for the council said: “Pembrokeshire County Council is aware of a fire at Manorbier Church in Wales VC School and can confirm that all children and staff are safe.

“Parents and carers are asked to please collect learners from Buttyland Caravan Park using the Norchard Lane route as the usual route to the school is currently closed.

“Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service are in attendance.

“This is an updating story.”

Plans submitted for disability-friendly bridge at Tenby train station

Published

on

TENBY railway station could soon see a new accessible footbridge, with Network Rail submitting plans to the National Park for the installation of an ‘Access for All’ bridge at the Grade-II-listed Victorian station.

The proposal aims to improve accessibility, providing an unobstructed route from at least one station entrance to all platforms via the new footbridge. A supporting statement from Network Rail explains that the scheme is designed to ensure step-free access between platforms, replacing the current barrow crossing, which is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “At Tenby Station, there is currently no obstacle-free accessible route between platforms 1 and 2. The existing barrow crossing does not provide suitable step-free access, and the proposed footbridge will address this issue.”

The plans, which include associated works to integrate the bridge with the historic station infrastructure, are now under consideration by the National Park authority. If approved, the scheme will mark a significant improvement in accessibility for passengers at the popular seaside station.
