You have until 7th November to have your say on the plans for Narberth which include 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.

Explaining why they are proposing the scheme, Pembrokeshire County Council said the Commonplace consultation undertaken in 2018 indicated that a Shared Use Path (SUP) was wanted by local residents to connect Narberth, through to Blackpool Mill, to Slebech and on to Haverfordwest.

The proposed route would help to complete the link between Narberth and Haverfordwest (which currently terminates at Blackpool Mill). The route once completed will provide high quality direct access between both towns. It will encourage socially inclusive active travel for all types of journeys including tourism, leisure and journeys to work and centres of learning.

The plans for Tenby include the creation of a Multi-User Path from Clicketts Lane to Heywood Lane, that will also accommodate horse riders. That online survey will remain available until 13th November.

Following on from the consultation period, final preferred option/s will be identified. The preferred option will not be finalised until feedback is received from the local community.

The plans are available to view on the Pembrokeshire County Council website and hard copies are available at The De Valance Pavilion and County Hall.
