Access permit process for Tenby Pedestrianisation scheme to go live
PEMBROKESHIRE County Council is once again preparing for the annual Tenby Pedestrianisation scheme.
The scheme is due to start on Monday 1st July and finish on Friday 13th September and run between 11am – 5.30pm each day.
The scheme will again see the Walled Town divided into three ‘zones,’ each of which will have varying degrees of vehicle access.
Full details of the scheme and the online application form will be available from Wednesday 1st May and can be found on the Council’s website.
Residents and business within the Walled Town are encouraged to complete the application process as soon as possible after the documents go live.
This will ensure that there is sufficient time for the application to be processed and additional checks made should further information be required.
Permits will be issued approximately 7-10 days before the scheme start date.
Please note that paper application forms and guidance notes will no longer be delivered to residents and businesses within the Walled Town and requests for permits will be required to be submitted online.
In order to ensure the ongoing success of the scheme permit holders are encouraged to continue to plan journeys outside of the scheme hours of 11am – 5.30pm as far as is practical.
