Tenby and Penally 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 16th October 2024. This webpage will be updated in due course confirming if the proposals will be taken forward.

Public consultation of the proposed 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 (SUP) 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 Multi-User Path (MUR) 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 Bach to The Croft, Tenby
Provide active travel improvements between North Beach car park and The Green via Gas Lane and The Glebe.

Penally active travel improvements

Clicketts Lane/Heywood Lane active travel improvements

Strategic Glebe to Green and Croft to Green

Marsh Road multi-use route

Strategic corridor Penally to Saundersfoot

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
