Have your say
Tenby and Penally Active Travel 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 a 1.66km approximate length Shared Use Path from Penally village to Tenby Golf Course. A shared Use Path is a route which is designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists.
- Creation of a Multi-User Path from Clicketts Lane to Heywood Lane, Tenby. A Multi-user path is a path that is designed for multiple types of users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
- Creation of a 1.08km approximate length Shared Use Path from Marsh Road to Clicketts Lane, Tenby
- Creation of a Shared Use Path from Slippery Back to The Croft, Tenby
- Provide active travel improvements between North Beach car park and The Green via Gas Lane and The Glebe.
Why are we proposing these changes?
Active travel is a way of getting around that involves physical activity, such as walking, cycling or wheeling. We would like to create a strategic route that enables traveling from Penally via Tenby and Saundersfoot to Pentlepoir without the use of a vehicle; thereby reducing congestion, parking and traffic pressures. Encouraging this behaviour change will not only lead to a healthier lifestyle but it will also be a greener and cheaper way to travel.
The aim of the proposal is to:
- Provide a shared and safe space for all users to be able to commute from Penally to Tenby without using a vehicle
- Improve safety of the active travel network within the area
- Encourage socially inclusive active travel for all types of journeys including tourism, leisure, school and work

Public consultation
We will be seeking your feedback on the proposed designs regarding these changes, and we kindly ask that you promote the launch of this public engagement session and on-line survey within your local community/groups and constituents.
The Public Consultation will commence with a workshop/drop-in session on 16th October between 10:00 – 12:00, 13:00 – 16:00 and 18:30 – 20:00 at the De Valence Pavilion in Tenby.
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, the online survey will remain available for 4 weeks concluding on 13th of November 2024.
Whilst the County Council encourages consultation responses to be made via our on-line consultation system, paper copies of the designs and survey, along with a comments box, will be located in the De Valence Pavilion. The printed version and paper surveys will remain in place until 13th November 2024, where they will be collected. Posted copies are available upon request by contacting the team on the below email address or contact number.
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.
The proposed plans are available to view on our website. Hard copies are available at The De Valance Pavilion and County Hall. Please contact the team or telephone 01437 76455 if you have any questions.
