Public reminded to stay away from Ward’s Yard due to safety concerns
--
The Port of Milford Haven is urging members of the public to stay away from Ward’s Yard due to concerns over public safety.
The site is owned by the Port of Milford Haven and a great deal of work and investment has gone into making sure the area is secure from trespassing, with new fences and signage installed. Despite this, there have been numerous occasions where the fencing has been vandalised to gain entry to the site, which is a serious safety concern.
Ward’s Yard is private property and anyone found there without consent is trespassing. Anyone caught causing criminal damage could face prosecution.
Niall Yeomans, Head of Health, Safety and Security at the Port of Milford Haven commented: “Anyone accessing Ward’s Yard is putting themselves and others at risk of serious harm.
The site poses many dangers; it is an isolated area next to deep water and much of the site is overgrown and uneven which can cause slips, trips and falls.
We’re not trying to stop people from having fun, there’s plenty to do in the local area, including lots of safe spots for swimming and fishing. Ward’s Yard is private property, is unfit for public access, and continuous illegal access to the site is very concerning. Safety is our number one priority, and our firm response to this relentless trespassing is driven by our wish to ensure that everyone gets home safely.”
Anyone who sees any suspicious activity at Ward’s Yard is asked to contact Dyfed Powys Police on 101.
