Angela Burns AM is to act as a moderator between any concerned Pembroke Dock residents and the developer of Martello Quays.

The South Pembrokeshire AM suggested she play the role at a constructive meeting with developer Keith Williams of Martello Quays Limited.

I have had a number of constituents raise concerns about the development with me and I felt this was the best way to allay fears and help this regeneration of Pembroke Dock get underway," she said.

"People are worried that the Western Way will effectively cut off the development, with any benefits staying strictly in the new Marina and not spreading to Pembroke Dock as a whole."

It was agreed at the meeting that Mrs Burns will act as a go-between for any local residents and groups unhappy with the development and the Martello Quays group.

"If anyone has any concerns they can come to me and I'll pass them on and try to broker a meeting to come up with a solution."

Concerns about a casino and competition to existing shops were also allayed at the meeting.

"It was a very positive meeting and I was given a commitment that any shops in the marina will be of the chandlery kind and not grocery stores and that there won't be a casino at all," she added.
