A Welsh Assembly Member has questioned if a £100m marina is the best way to regenerate Pembroke Dock.

South county AM Angela Burns said she feared the marina at Front Street could become a "gated community", having little connection with the town.

She told the Western Telegraph: "Absolutely anything that helps Pembroke Dock grow and become more vibrant, increase jobs and create a better quality of life for the town's residents has got to be a good thing. But I'm just not sure a marina is the best way to do it.

"My big reservation is the Western Way road. Could it create a situation with the wealthy people on one side and everyone else on the other side?

"Will it become like a gated community where people will stay there day after day? Will there be real benefits to the town?"

Mrs Burns said she had been strongly against the casino development from the start.

"I'm dead set against the casino, I'm worried that all you will get is day trippers from Ireland going into the hotel, spending all their money and going back on the ferry".
