Pembroke Dock Active Travel Improvements

Public consultation:

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Transport Strategy Team invites you to participate in an online survey aimed at gathering feedback from the public and commuters regarding the creation of shared use paths at the following locations:

High Street
Bush Street
Trinity Street
Prospect Place / Memorial Park

Why are we proposing these changes?

This Authority is proposing to improve the existing active travel routes in Pembroke Dock which will include introducing new routes in line with the active travel guidance to encourage more walking, wheeling and cycling within the town with the vision of converting some footways in to shared use paths. It is our aim to create a safe environment for all and to encourage people to travel without the use of their vehicles. One of the primary objectives of this project is to improve connectivity between the lower part of town and the rest of the community, ensuring convenient access to local amenities and schools.

The public consultation will commence with a workshop/drop-in session on 24^th June 2025, between 09:00 – 17:00 at the Pater Hall.

The session 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 5 weeks concluding on 28th July 2025 at midnight.

Hard copy plans are availble to view at County Hall from 24th June 2025.

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.

What is the scheme for?

What is the scheme going to achieve?

Study work has already been undertaken with a review of the current network to ensure that the routes provide a connected and integrated solution for walkers, wheelers and cyclists wishing to access key locations within the town, whether this be for work, leisure or social purposes.

The ethos of the scheme is to provide a active travel network connecting the north of the town with the Secondary and new welsh medium school on the eastern section of High Street and Pembroke Road which is already served by an existing shared use path on this section of highway. The proposals also allow connection for those residing in the north of the town with a safe cycle network allowing access to Pembroke Community School sited immediately adjacent to the park and the doctors surgery in Argyle Street.

What are the main aims of the scheme?

Create a safe active travel link within the town
Improve the connectivity of the existing network
Improve road safety for walkers, wheelers 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

How will the scheme be paid for?

This Authority will submit a bid report under the Local Transport Capital Grant Fund to the Welsh Government for the financial year 2026/2027. This is match funded by Pembrokeshire County Council, up to 11%.

Will members of the public be consulted?

Yes, a formal public consultation process where members of the public can provide feedback on the scheme will be taking place in due course. This will be in the form of a workshop session displaying the proposed plans where representatives from Pembrokeshire County Councils transport section will be present to answer any questions that may arise.
