Description:
Plans to introduce a fixed sliding gate on Tenby harbour pier during holiday season are in the pipeline to help combat instances of anti-social behaviour and safety concerns at the locality.<br/>Local authorities took the decision over the Whitsun holiday period last year to close off a section of the harbour pier at high tides, after serious safety concerns resurfaced with the volume of youngsters and people jumping in the water causing risk of injury from vessel movements within the harbour.<br/>Anti-social behaviour concerns were also raised, with teenagers congregating down the pier, drinking and then diving in the sea, with some choosing to climb onto nearby premises to gain higher vantage points to jump from. The move was also designed to combat ‘boy racers’ parking up at the picturesque spot during the evenings.<br/> Tenby Harbour User's Association members recently had it confirmed to them at a meeting that a design is in process for a fixed sliding gate at the pier. <br/>In the mean time Heras fencing will return in May to ensure the working pier is not compromised in 2024. This will again be manned by Tenby boatmen and the harbourmaster.
