Dear Community Members
Pembrokeshire County Council recognises that residents should be involved in decisions about Public Services and Transport Schemes that may have a direct impact to their lives. Our aim is to keep people well-informed about any up-and-coming proposals as well as the reasoning behind the overall project.
We wish to engage people in discussions and decisions about schemes to enable us to deliver projects that are supported by the local community. We shall listen and respond to people’s views and concerns either positive or negative through a public consultation process.
You are invited to participate in the Public Consultation which will commence on 5th November 2024. The scheme is divided into three key parts, which are highlighted below.
Stammers Road
The Stammers Road Scheme will provide a continuous Shared Use Path (SUP) route for pedestrians and cyclists between Saundersfoot Harbour and Stammers Road. Delivering a number of improvements, including formation of a new mini-roundabout at the Harbour junction, widened footways, controlled crossings and improved SUP links to the wider network.
Sandy Hill Road
The Sandy Hill Road proposal provides a direct connection between Saundersfoot and the A478, serving a number of holiday farms and providing a key route for tourists, residents and wider Pembrokeshire visitors into the village. The scheme proposes to provide improved footway connections, traffic calming measures, improved crossing points for pedestrians and a Shared Use Path.
Frances Road
Linking Coppet Hall Beach with Saundersfoot village through an improved off-road shared use path along Frances Road, this scheme provides and alternative walking/cycling link for residents and students who wish to access the beach. Additional works around the Saundersfoot CP School are also considered to connect into existing infrastructure in the area.
Public Consultation
We will be seeking your feedback on the proposals within the schemes, either throughout the entire route or in your particular area, as well as any suggestions you may have on further infrastructure needs to improve cycling/walking and accessibility improvements.
The Public Consultation will commence with a workshop/drop-in session on 5th November 2024, between 10:00 – 12:00, 13:00 – 16:00 and 18:30 – 20:00 at The Coal Building, Saundersfoot Harbour.
The sessions will have representatives from Pembrokeshire County Council, to answer any questions that may arise. Following this one-day event, for those who are unable to attend in person, an online public survey will be made available and can be accessed, via: https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/have-your-say/consultations
The online survey will remain available for 4 weeks concluding on 3rd December 2024.
Whilst the County Council encourages consultation responses to be made via our on-line consultation system, paper hardcopies of the designs and survey, along with a comments box, will be located at The Coal Building, Saundersfoot Harbour and County Hall. The printed version and paper surveys will remain in place until 3rd December 2024, where they will be collected. Posted copies are available upon request by contacting the team on the above email address or contact number (located within the letter header).
Following on from the consultation period, final preferred option(s) will be identified. This preferred option will not be finalised until we have the feedback from the local community.
Should you have any questions regarding the proposed public consultation, please do get in touch via the email address listed at the top of this letter.
Kind regards,
Pembrokeshire Council Transport Strategy Team
