GATEHOUSE LATEST

The latest survey work on the remaining structure of the Royal Gatehouse Hotel, Tenby, indicates ongoing concerns with regard to the immediate danger to the public following the recent fire.

The Council's priority is the safety of the public and, in order to ensure this continues, the Council is undertaking urgent action to make the site safe and secure.

This will also permit the opening of The Norton at the earliest opportunity

The work being carried out by the specialist demolition contractors who have been at the site for ten days, is due to finish tomorrow (Friday) while Wales and The West Utilities have been resolving issues with the gas supply.

Meanwhile the shuttle service for trade deliveries into Tenby - introduced by the County Council - will continue next week.

While cars and vans are being allowed into Tenby, customers should inform their supplier/haulier that anything bigger than a standard low roof Transit van should go to the Salterns long term car park on the outskirts of the resort where Pembrokeshire County Council will be operating a goods transhipping shuttle service for traders.

The service operates from 7 am to 11.30 am every day except Sunday.

'We are asking haulage operators and traders who have deliveries to Tenby to ring our contact centre so that we have advance warning of their arrival' explained Darren Thomas, the Council's Head of Highways and Construction.

The number to ring is 01437 764551.
