Description:
County Councillors across Pembrokeshire have been asked for their views on up and coming road closures for an annual sporting event.<br/>Pembrokeshire County Council has received a request for temporary road closures and restrictions to facilitate the annual Long Course Weekend triathlon, which is to be held in June.<br/>The event kicks off with the swim held on Tenby’s North Beach on the evening of Friday, June 21, followed by the cycle sportive on Saturday, and the Wales Marathon on June 23 - with events taking place around Tenby and the south of the County.<br/>As in previous years, the Local Authority has stated it will be necessary to introduce a number of traffic restrictions on the Saturday and Sunday to enable both the sportive and marathon to take place in a safe environment.<br/>The Croft and a section of the Norton (White Lion Street to The Croft) will also be temporarily closed on the Friday evening between 4.30 and 6.30 pm, in the interest of public safety due to possible thronging of spectators watching the swim event. Access to properties on The Croft will be managed.<br/>Following the success of last year, the start and finish on both Saturday and Sunday is from the Salterns car park in Tenby (rather than the centre of the seaside town in Tudor Square), and full road closures implemented on a rolling basis for the Marathon on the Sunday.<br/>County councillors for the ward’s affected have been asked to provide their views to PCC’s Traffic Management Officer by April 19.
