Investigations into alleviating flooding in one of the worst-hit spots in Pembrokeshire are being called for by a county councillor.

The highway between Gumfreston Hill and Heywood Lane, Tenby frequently becomes impassable to traffic during a period of heavy rain.

The weekend and today (Monday) was no exception, and Tenby member Councillor Michael Williams is now asking Pembrokeshire County Council to take action.

He has reminded county transport chief Ian Westley that he asked the council three years ago to investigate a long-term solution to the problem, and is now asking for an initial study followed by a capital sum allocated for work in the next financial year.

"The situation over the last weekend has made life difficult for many who regularly use this road, and it urgently needs addressing, " he has told Mr Westley. "I had cause to travel to Pembroke Dock last Saturday evening, and the amount of traffic using The Ridgeway was amazing, due to the diversion.

"This road is not much more than a county lane, and with such heavy traffic use, becaomes quite dangerous."

Councillor Williams has now suggested that the matter is taken forward to next month's county council meeting as an agenda item.
