Active Travel plans in Narberth – your views wanted!

An online survey is being launched to gather views on improvements to Narberth’s Active Travel Network.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Transport Strategy Team is consulting on improvements within the town to help people travel on foot, bikes and other wheels with the creation of shared use paths.

This includes a diversion for heavy goods vehicles to bypass the town centre unless making local deliveries, to ease congestion.

A Shared Use Path for pedestrians and cyclists is being proposed along a section of Kiln Park Road as well as a 6.5mile Multi-User Route for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders from Narberth to Haverfordwest.

Officers also want feedback on the works that have been carried out to Jesse Road to provide improved pedestrian/cyclist accessibility to and from the primary school.

The aim of the proposals include providing a high quality direct access between Narberth and Haverfordwest, encouraging inclusive active travel and creating a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Public engagement sessions will take place at Bloomfield House Community Centre, Narberth, on 26th September from 10am to 12pm, 1pm to 4pm and 6.30pm to 8pm. The online survey will go live on the same day.

Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services Cllr Rhys Sinnett said: “Supporting the health, well-being and safety of Pembrokeshire residents is important to the Local Authority and Active Travel can play a vital role in that. We would encourage Narberth residents and visitors to get involved in this latest survey and help shape improvements in the area.”

The proposed plans are available to view on our website https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/transport-strategy hard copies are also located at Bloomfield House Community Centre and County Hall. Please contact the team at majorschemes@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or telephone 01437 764551 if you have any questions.

Please feel free to complete the whole of the survey or just the sections that are relevant to you.

This online survey will close on 7th November 2024 at midnight.
