Saundersfoot Active Travel Improvements
November 2024 update:
The consultation period has now ended. The results of the on-line survey are currently being analysed along with the feedback obtained at the public consultation day which took place on the 14th November 2024. This webpage will be updated in due course confirming if the proposals will be taken forward.
Public Consultation:
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:
- Stammers Road: Provide a Shared Use Path between Saundersfoot Harbour and Stammers Road. A Shared Use Path is a route which is designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists.
- Sandy Hill Road: Provide a Shared Use Path providing a direct connection between Saudersfoot and the A478
- Frances Road: Creating a Shared Use Path linking Coppet Hall Beach with Saundersfoot Village

Why are we proposing these changes?
Pembrokeshire County Council feel that there is an opportunity to provide missing and safer links within the current active travel network that provides connectivity for local residents and visitors which will tie in well with the existing provisions already available. Some of the current routes, particularly along Sandy Hill Road are unsafe for walking, cycling and people with mobility issues, it is our aim to create a safer environment for all and to encourage people to travel without the use of their vehicles. We would like to create a strategic route that enables traveling in and around Saundersfoot 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 proposals is to:
- Improve safety of the active travel network
- Encourage socially inclusive active travel for all types of journeys including tourism, leisure, school and work.
- Create a safer environment for cyclists, pedestrians and people with mobility issues.
- Enhance accessibility for cyclists, pedestrians and people with mobility issues
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 19th 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 Have Your Say
The online survey will remain available for 4 weeks concluding on 17th December 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 at The Coal Building, Saundersfoot Harbour and County Hall.
