Steynton to Old Bulford Road Active Travel Improvements 2024

This Public Consultation Survey has been postponed until January 2025; notices will be erected in and around Steynton and Johnston after the new year confirming the new dates and details accoringly. 

Plans will be available to view on this webpage then.

Penwallis Bus Priority

December 2024 Update:

The consultation period has now ended. The results of the online survey are currently being analysed together with all the feedback received. This web page will be updated in due course confirming whether the proposals will be developed.

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:

• Open up the current dead-ends on Heol Caradog to Dan y Bryn and Heol Glyndwr.
• Re-route Bus No. 410 to follow Heol Preseli, Penwallis, Heol Caradog, Dan y Bryn to serve bus stop on Heol Glyndwr.

Why are we proposing these changes? 

The existing bus route around Penwallis is inefficient. The road layout consists of two dead-ends, which requires Bus 410 to then reverse and change direction in the middle of its route, near Heol Glyndwr, leaving insufficient time to serve Penwallis.

The proposals include opening up the current dead-ends on Heol Caradog to Dan y Bryn and Heol Glyndwr.  This would improve service for Bus 410. The proposed route would follow Heol Preseli, a right turn onto Penwallis, left turn into Heol Caradog and then into Dan y Bryn to serve the bus stop on Heol Glyndwr.

The aim of the proposal is to:

• Improve bus connectivity within the estate
• Increase accessibility and facilities for people with limited mobility and with few or no facilities for public transport passengers
• Improve bus journey times
• Offer a valuable alternative to walking and/or for those who would typically use a vehicle or private hire
• Improve road safety
• Improve the overall air quality and reducing the carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier Wales by encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home

The proposed plans are available to view, hard copies are at available County Hall.

Option 1 - Bryn Llewllyn - one way system - bus priority Penwallis

Option 2 - Bryn Llewllyn one way system with access control - bus priority Penwallis

Option 1 - Heol Caradog one way system - bus priority Penwallis

Option 2 - Heol Caradog bus gate - bus priority Penwallis

Penwallis bus routing scheme reverse route

Penwallis bus current route improvements

Penwallis bus routing scheme - Plans

Penwallis bus stop - bus priority

An online public survey will be made available and can be accessed, via: Have your say and will remain available for 4 weeks, concluding on 29^th November 2024.

St Dogmaels Active Travel and Connectivity 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 21st October 2024. This webpage will be updated in due course confirming if the proposals will be taken forward.

Public consultation on the proposed St Dogmaels 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

St Dogmaels draft plans

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

Public consultation

The Public Consultation will commence with a workshop/drop-in session on 21^st October 2024, between 10:00 – 12:00, 13:00 – 16:00 and 18:30 – 20:00 at the St Dogmaels Memorial Hall. 

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 18^th November 2024 at midnight.

Frances Road Active Travel Scheme Coppet Hall

Sandy Hill Road Active Travel Scheme St Bride’s Lane

Frances Road Active Travel Scheme

Sandy Hill Road Active Travel Scheme

Stammers Road Active Travel Scheme Old Stammers

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 19^th November 2024, between 10:00 – 12:00, 13:00 – 16:00 and 18:30 – 20:00 at The Coal Building, Saundersfoot Harbour.

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.

Please contact the team at majorschemes@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or telephone 01437 76455 if you have any questions. 

This on-line survey will close on the 17th December 2024 at midnight. Thank you for your time in completing this survey. 

Narberth 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 26th September 2024. This webpage will be updated in due course confirming if the proposals will be taken forward. 

Public consultation on the proposed Narberth 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:

• Improvements to the current Active Travel Network within the town. Active travel is a way of getting around that involves physical activity, such as walking, cycling and wheeling.
• Creating a 412 metre long Share use Path (SUP) along Kiln Park Road. A shared Use Path is a route which is designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists.
• Implementing a diversion for through heavy goods vehicles to bypass the town centre, so that local deliveries can be maintained and congestion will ease.
• Formation of a 6.5mile (10km) long Multi-User Route (MUR) from Narberth to Haverfordwest. A Multi-User Route is a path or trail that is designed for multiple types of users such as pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
• Obtaining feedback on the works that have been carried out to Jesse Road to provide improved pedestrian/cyclist accessibility to and from the primary school.

Why are we proposing these changes?

The proposed route would help to complete the link between Narberth and Haverfordwest (which currently terminates at Blackpool Mill) along a route with moderate gradients to the south of the A40. It currently links into the centre of Narberth via an existing bridleway and will connect into the centre of Haverfordwest with direct linkage to National Cycle Network Route 4 (Celtic Trail). Additionally, recent work by South West Trunk Road Agency (SWTRA) along the A40 has created the provision of a Shared Use Path linking Llanddewi Velfry with Redstone Cross.

The aim of the proposals is to:

• Provide a high quality direct access between Narberth and Haverfordwest
• 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 and pedestrians
• Reduce congestion of the town centre

Public consultation

Porthgain for All

September 2024 update:

Planning consent has been approved by the PCNPA, a copy of the decision notice can be viewed on their website. The next steps will be to commence a forward works programme, including liaising with contractors and determining timings. We will also be liaising with Pobol and providing regular updates; any further communication to local residents can be received through their Pobol Porthgain contact

June 2024 update: 

Final Designs have been established and the project is now heading towards the submission of the planning application. 

February 2024 update:

Public consultation

The consultation period has now ended.  Feedback was obtained on several potential design options, including: layouts proposed, level of parking indicated, landscaping proposals and use of various materials. Pobol Porthgain and the PCNPA indicated that the overall look and feel of Porthgain is important to residents and should be retained.  As such, the options developed were done so sensitively, and with this in mind, so as to not significantly change or alter the overall character, look and feel of the village. 

The public consultation was held on 21^st February between 10:00 and 20:00 at The Sloop, Porthgain. Residents and visitors were able to provide feedback on the drawings, and fill in a paper copy of the consultation survey, both on paper on online via the Have Your Say (which remained open until 8^th March at 5pm). 

Following on from the consultation period, final preferred option(s) will be identified and will feed into the ‘Masterplan’; this draft version is not yet set in stone and will not be finalised until we have the feedback from the local community. The preferred option(s) are required to be completed by March 2024 in order to feedback to Welsh Government.

The plans are also available to view and download on The Urbanist's website (opens in a new tab).

January 2024 update:

At present our Transport Strategy Team along with PCNPA have been working closely with the Pobol Porthgain (Pobol) and the Local Councillor, Neil Prior, in order to work towards a resolution to the current parking, congestion and traffic management issues within the village.  PCNPA have called upon the help of The Urbanists, an urban design company focussed on placemaking, to draw up a ‘Masterplan’ based upon comments, feedback and observations provided by the resident of Porthgain.

During a public workshop, held on 24^th October 2023, local residents were provided with the opportunity to view the draft masterplan and voice their opinions. Whilst there was mixed views and opinions it was unanimous that retaining the character and charm of the village is imperative. This golden thread will be included during the designing process whilst keeping in mind the type of materials to be used for the visuals of the village.

The relevant surveys of the village and surrounding area have been undertaken. These consist of topographical surveys which gathers data about the natural and man-made features of the land, as well as its terrain. For example, permanent buildings, fences, trees and streams along with the land contours and elevations. Traffic surveys have been taken from 21^st September 2023 – 3^rd October 2023 in two locations, the C3072 Llanrhian to Porthgain and the Unclassified Road U3066 South East of Portheiddy (Abereiddy), the data collated shows the AM and PM Traffic peaks along with the average vehicle speeds in the village. An Ecological survey has shown that there will not be any significant effect to protected sites or species within the area however, during the project development discussions with the Ecologist will continue regarding the final project footprint.   

We are now combining all of this information into a series of option packages that will be discussed in a future public workshop and for wider public comment within the consultation period.  This is expected to take place in mid-February, and the wider consultation period will run for approximately three weeks. Information will be made available online and within an identified, public location in the village where hard-copies can be accessed. More details will follow on the survey and consultation process in early 2024.

Following on from the consultation period, a final preferred option(s) may be identified and will feed into the ‘Masterplan’; this draft version is not yet set in stone and will not be finalised until we have the feedback from the local community. The preferred option(s) are required to be completed by March 2024, so that we can report back to WG (Welsh Government). 

Regular meetings are being held with PCC, PCNPA, Stakeholders, Steering Board Members and the Welsh Government ensuring that the project remains on track, within budget and compliant.

As always we appreciate all feed back and you can contact the team on the below email address:

Porthgain For All

One of North Pembrokeshire’s popular tourist hotspots, Porthgain has experienced increased congestion and traffic management issues in recent years as a result of the increased visitor numbers who wish to enjoy this beautiful part of our County. This has had a large impact to the existing parking arrangements and traffic management within the village and the access roads leading into Porthgain.

What is the project for?

Porthgain for All seeks to find infrastructure solutions to overcome the pressure on Porthgain, and wider area, as a result of increased visitor numbers and to find improved access solutions to facilities for all users. Parking and traffic management issues are acute in the high season, which is unsustainable, unpleasant and unsafe.

How is this going to be carried out?

A joint working team, between Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC), Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA) and Pobol Porthgain has been formed and will seek to undertake a two-stage programme of feasibility and implementation in order to tackle congestion, parking, traffic management and visitor travel via sustainable options to the village.

This Authority has engaged with a local working group, Pobol Porthgain, to ascertain what key issues and objectives they wish to overcome through an engagement workshop, and separately, the PCNPA has engaged a consultant to undertake a 'masterplan' for the village.  Finally, a joint working project examining Coastal Access within the wider Pembrokeshire County, seeks to identify long-term sustainable transport solutions to the coastal areas. 

This 2 year programme will involve feasibility work in Year 1, and include ground investigations, surveys, traffic surveys, public consultations and shortlisting of options. Year 2 will consist of design and implementation of schemes, initial monitoring phases and final inspection. 

The design function for this scheme will be undertaken by internal resources from PCC Engineering & Design team within the Highways Department. The appointment of any additional contractor(s) and supplier(s) to undertake surveys, ground investigations and design work will be in accordance with the procurement policy of the Council.  

A public consultation will be available in Febuary 2024 for all members of the public to have their say. 

How is this being paid for?

Welsh Government’s Brilliant Basics Fund has awarded £248,000 to Pembrokeshire County Council to undertake the two-year scheme, in conjunction with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Pobol Porthgain. Further £62,000 in match funding has also been identified.  

When will the project start and when will it be completed?

The project has currently started with background work being undertaken at present. The project has an expected completion date of March 2025. 

If you have any questions please email the team porthgainforall@pembrokeshire.gov.uk

Major Schemes

Major Funding for Highways and Transportation

Our Transport Team are committed to making traveling around Pembrokeshire as accessible, safe and easy for all users to really benefit from what our beautiful County has to offer. Whether travel consists of commuting to work, shopping, tourism, or visiting friends and family we want to provide a good quality transport network that works for everyone. This is why your feedback is important to us so that we can plan and deliver in a sustainable way.

How are major transport schemes funded?

Pembrokeshire County Council is responsible for a number of transport improvement schemes across the County. Funding is allocated from the Welsh Assembly to help meet the transport objectives set out and to satisfy locally identified priorities, this could include road and footway maintenance schemes and transport and environmental improvements.

All major transport projects have to go through the WelTAG (Welsh Transport Assessment Guidance) process where options are discussed and assessed based on their scope, benefit, costings and time. Following this, a business case is put together and submitted to Welsh Government which weighs up all the aspects of the proposal ensuring that the costs are in line with the benefits of the project.  Each project typically requires a 10% investment from Pembrokeshire Council in match funding; in some rare cases, the entire project can be funded by Welsh Government.

Transport Strategy

Pembrokeshire County Council is the Highway Authority for all local roads (non-trunk roads) within its administrative area. We are also responsible for supporting public transport and community transport services that are not commercially viable. Transport plays a very important role in our daily lives, its availability and accessibility can influence on where we live, work, socialise and the ability to reach out and interact with friends, family and the wider community. Here at Pembrokeshire County Council we aim to ensure that sustainable access, particularly by public transport, walking and cycling, is available to all. 

What is a transport strategy?

A transport strategy signals the future direction of transport and provides the context within with decisions continue to be made. A good public transport strategy brings with it an understanding of the travel needs and aspirations of users and potential users; identifies opportunities and challenges; includes robust objectives; and creates a clear roadmap for how the vision can be delivered.  Pembrokeshire County Council, working with the South West Wales Regional Area, is currently working towards developing a Regional Transport Plan that will serve the needs of residents and visitors to our area.  It is expected that a Regional Transport Plan will support the aims and objectives outlined in the Llwybr Newydd: The Wales Transport Strategy 2021 (opens in a new tab)

Transport encompasses all infrastructure used to enable movement between places. This includes footpaths, cycle paths, roads, rail, digital information boards, signage and transport services (such as rail, bus, taxis, aviation and maritime transport). The wider system encompasses commercial and third sector transport providers and it is the whole system in total which needs to be considered within a transport strategy.

What is the Local Transport Plan?

Transportation planning is the process of looking at the current state of transportation in the region, designing for future transportation needs, and combining all of that with the elements of budgets, goals and policies. The previous Joint Local Transport Plan for South West Wales (opens in a new tab) (2015-2020) was the statutory policy which determined the strategy and programme for transportation and transport infrastructure within Pembrokeshire. The plan provided a consistent policy across the four councils in South West Wales: Carmarthenshire County Council, City and County of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council and Pembrokeshire County Council. This plan is in the process of being rewritten.

Minor Works Fund

The Minor Works Fund (MWF) offers an opportunity for Town/Community/City Councils and Local Councillors to submit schemes for transport-related highway schemes which are smaller in nature, but require prioritisation to complete the works in a timely manner. The MWF was initially established in 2016, and has an annual budget of approximately £150,000 per annum. Each of the schemes completed to date has been the result of initiation by Local Members, Town/Community/City Councils and developed in conjunction with the Highways Infrastructure Team at Pembrokeshire County Council.

The scheme has proved popular over its duration and has enabled the Council to address smaller, but important schemes, for local areas which can provide tangible results on the ground.

How it works

Once schemes have been initially proposed, they are then assessed by a Highways Engineer based upon a methodological matrix which considers road safety, well-being, user benefits, natural and built environment implications, accessibility, value for money and deliverability.  These are then tabulated to produce an overall score; this score then informs the ranking on the priority list. If a scheme is considered to be over-budget (i.e. greater than the overall total annual budget) to construct – it becomes a named scheme which is then taken forward for consideration within other funding streams (such as Welsh Government Grant Applications) or held on the list for future works (i.e. broken into phases, can be tied into planning development). Scheme prioritisation is updated on a quarterly basis in order to ensure the priority list is current as work is progressed.

Please use our Guidance Document below to find out the requirements for submitting a bid for the MWF, what supporting evidence is required and how to progress your submission further.

If you have an idea for a scheme, but are not sure about the details, please contact minorworksfund@pembrokeshire.gov.uk and one of our team will contact you to discuss your needs further. Please provide as much detail as you are able to about the scheme and we will work with you to determine whether your scheme is viable, and whether it is the right fit for your area and transport related issue to be resolved.

If you already know what you want to do, have supporting evidence, clear plans and have consulted with local residents in your community, please fill in our MWF Application Form.
