St Dogmaels and Poppit Sands Active Travel and Connectivity Improvements
Pembrokeshire County Councils Transport Strategy Team invite you to take part in this on-line survey which aims to gather feedback from members of the public and commuters on the following:
- Creation of an approximately 645 metre Shared Use Path along High Street, Feidr Fawr and Pilot Street (B4546). A Shared Use Path is a route which is designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists. (Purple Route).
- Creation of an approximately 460 metre Shared Use Path connecting Feidr Fach footway with a new Shared Use Path and a counter lever boardwalk onto Pilot Street. (Red Route)
St Dogmaels Improvements Phase 1: village centre & boardwalk
St Dogmaels Improvements Phase 2: alternative routes
St. Dogmaels to Poppit Sand improvements
St. Dogmaels to Poppit Sand improvements 2
Why are we proposing these changes?
St. Dogmaels is one of the more popular tourist destinations within Pembrokeshire with locals and visitors visiting the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The village has grown around its historic routes and is characterised by narrow roads, often with limited footways for pedestrians. Parking is a challenge, with most residents parking on street or in limited parking areas through the village. This can lead to additional pressures on the network in terms of traffic flow and pinch-points additionally pedestrian movements throughout the village are constrained by a lack of sufficient infrastructure.
The aim of the proposal is to:
- Create a safe Active Travel Link between St Dogmaels and Poppit Sands
- Improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists
- Encourage socially inclusive active travel for all types of journeys including tourism and leisure
- Reduce the levels of car dependency, reducing carbon footprint, pollution and congestion
- Improve the environment, health and social wellbeing of the community
