PROPOSALS to designate a section of the B4329 at Prendergast, Haverfordwest, as one-way have been developed following concerns from residents about road safety, parking and congestion.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Transport Strategy Team is now keen to hear from members of the public, commuters and local businesses on the proposals.

The plans aim to effectively manage the flow of traffic between the Cardigan Road junction and Bridgend Square Roundabout and make improvements to the safety of school children and local community, as well as improving parking issues.

The proposed one-way system will start at the roundabout and run for around 535 metres up to a new mini-roundabout.

Other aspects to the proposals include a 500 metre Shared Use Path, redistributing parking bays and traffic management measures along the route and modifications at Cardigan Road and Hall Park.

Drop-in sessions will be held at Pembrokeshire Archives tomorrow (10^th September), with those interested encouraged to come along between 10am-12pm; 1pm-4pm and 6.30pm and 8pm.

An online survey will also go live on 10^th September and will be open for feedback until 1^st October.

Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services Cllr Rhys Sinnett said: “The views of the community and regular users of this road are vital to developing these proposals that aim to alleviate concerns local residents have been raising about road safety, on-street parking and congestion in the area.

“A preferred option will not be finalised until we have the feedback from the local community so I would urge everyone to make sure they have their say either in person at the drop-in sessions or online.”

MILFORD HAVEN BUSINESS CIRCLE is calling on the community to join the launch of its new Litter-Free Zone.

In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.

The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.

The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.

This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.

The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.

Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:

Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.

The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.

By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
