APPENDIX ONE QUESTION: Did the pedestrianisation experiment affect the time of day you visited the Walled Town? If YES, how did it change? 1. 90% of our visits to town were made between 11am - 5 pm 2. I waited until the pedestrianisation time to visit. 3. Visits by car to the harbour were postponed until after 5 o'clock. 4. 8.30-9.30 am 5. Yes it was almost impossible to get a bus on time for any appointments during time of the day. 6.

We stayed longer because it was more pleasant without traffic 64. Quieter days and time 65. I waited for pedestrianisation to start because I had a pram and children walking and its almost impossible to walk at other times 66.

Couldn't go in anyway, I am disabled with stick and sometimes a wheelchair couldn't use the pavements 69. Driving to harbour with bulky items big problems with only one visit per day (all work had to be carried out in the evening) 70. Visit shops in other towns 71. I found trying to get around before 11 o'clock difficult because of lorries blocking the streets. 72. Went when pedestrianisation on 73.

Also in July returning from school on days with heavy items. 91. It limited my life style considerably. Some times it was too much trouble to leave home. 92. I cannot understand why on street parking residents cannot have once daily access. 93. If I wanted to do shopping outside of the town it had to be planned so that access to my home with my car was possible. 94. It delayed our rights of access. 95. Regular journey out of Tenby had to be retimed. 96. From a distance one has to arrive after 5pm. 97. A minimal amount and no real problem 98. I had to make sure that we had reached Tenby unloaded and got out by 11am 99. On occasions (twice weekly) shopping trips were a nightmare - I have special needs and can only get food from Haverfordwest - try juggling that with school times and a traffic ban! 100. It was hugely problematic not being able to have access to our house between 11am and 5pm. It was disruptive and time wasting. 101. You always have to be conscious of the restrictions. 102. A number of guests said they will not return as it makes loading and unloading catastrophic and affected their holiday. 103. Going on holiday I had to leave earlier and return later than I normally would have as I was not allowed to take my luggage to my home. 104. I work and live in the town and during my lunch break I was prisoned inside the town walls. 105. Grocery shopping etc had to be done in evenings inconvenient.

Despite having off street parking and one return journey permitted, we had to make other frequent journeys immediately before 11 am and after 5 pm. 268. I was only allowed to move the car once per day, so if a second journey was needed I was not allowed to go outside the town walls again. 269.

Blatant infringement of human rights to enter and exit our home at will throughout the day with our vehicle. 283. Went more in the afternoon to enjoy it. 284. I had to visit the town early as I am disabled and cannot shop without my car. I did not go to church for 2 months although we were allowed an extra 10 mins after 11.00am the service does not always finish in time and parking before 10.00am is very often a problem. 285. I am unable to use disabled car park at the harbour during the ban except very early or very late. 286. My wife and I would go into Tenby early and get back home before the 11.00am curfew. 287. Made an effort to visit Tenby when the pedestrianisation hours had commenced. The town is much more enjoyable and safer. Re. question 3.

APPENDIX TWO QUESTION: How was your query dealt with? 1. Unsatisfactorily 2. Satisfactorily. 3. Could not get an answer, on the day I phoned. 4. All disabled parking was full and with able bodied persons especially vans around the arches. Disabled bays not managed by authority. 5. Having to phone to get competing boats in/out of the harbour during the ban, having to take number plate numbers to harbour master. 6. A very difficult lady on the end of the line treated one like a criminal and was extremely annoying and dictator like. 7. Firstly using the helpline costs time and money so we should not have to resort to it. Some of the telephonists were intellectually limited and would have been at home in the third Reich. 8. satisfactory. 9. satisfactory. 10. satisfactory 11. Unsatisfactory 12. I was treated like a child breaking the law how dare they. 13. Due to difficulties in previous 14. Satisfactorily 15. Satisfactory, Very helpful and efficient. 16. Satisfactory 17. Due to difficulties in previous years, largely because of privacy issues this household refrained from usage of the line. 18. Unable to get through to PCC 19. The person I spoke to did not even know were Tenby was. 20. Difficult to get sense of as there was a different person each time, all with no knowledge of Tenby's needs. 21. Reports I received from those who used the help line that lived in the town walls were of a remote official in Haverfordwest "replying by the book" with no appreciation of the possible emergency of the problem, and how it could be dealt with. 22. The lady did not seem to know the information that I required. 23. Delays, delays, delays. 24. Unhelpful and inflexible with simple requests. 25. Delay in information received. 26. Taxi broke down on route, had to change vehicles because now vehicle hadn't been registered. Family were not allowed to travel to harbour. 27. I do not know, only my Tenants would know. 28. Not used. 29. Very difficult lady on the end of the line. Treated me like a criminal and was extremely annoying and dictator like. 30. Very lengthy procedure to get/ swap registration number of own permit. 31. Very unhelpful, no common sense used, no understanding of layout of Tenby's roads and streets, haven’t got enough room to put down the extreme difficulties. 32. On the first day the help line broke down. 33. It was called a service line not a help line. I was denied the use of taxis from my home to catch the train with heavy bags. I was denied the right to bring in elderly visitors. 34. I informed the help line that I was parked in a legal bay and asked if I could stay. She refused to believe that there was a legal bay (not for resident permit or disabled). It took two phone calls and a good twenty minutes to sort out the problem. 35. Difficulties arising from refusals. 36. Incompetent, intrusive, judgmental, not enough room to explain all. 37. Satisfactory 38. Lack of knowledge and time wasted APPENDIX THREE QUESTION: Do you have any other comments to make regarding the helpline? 1. I think the shop keepers should be able to park their cars outside their shops 2. Need more people to answer the phones 3. Didn't try it as everyone says its a waste of time and they won't give permission for any extra journeys 4. Rather patronising attitude of staff is a turn off. I wanted access to return an elderly relative to their harbourside home after stay in hospital staff gave impression they were doing us a favour. Not good 5. Unaware or would have commented on lack of management of disabled parking. 6. Yes last year 2004 this did not help it was not worth ringing this year. 7. Yes they should be more sympathetic and helpful to people who are only going about their daily lives - to do what is a legal right have access to their homes. 8. Other residents resented the fact that permission was required for doctors appointments or funerals etc except that cars could be taken out for duration. 9. Why should spend time and money asking the permission of telephonists to go about our daily lives? Calls took on average 15 minutes and questions were invasive. 10. The number should be on the public notices around the town. 11. It wasn't clear. 12. Why should I have to phone and explain to someone personal details to go to and from my own home and work place? 13. Yes, It is very unsatisfactory to have to explain details of your private life to a stranger on the phone, (not prepared to do so). 14. Normal enquiries and back-up was excellent 15. Advised by person who did use helpline don’t bother!!!! 16. Unsatisfactory 17. ok 18. I anticipated that should I have phoned the help line, any request would have been dealt with unsympathetically, therefore I did not bother. 19. It is nick named an un-helpful line for good reason. 20. What number, what helpline, I had no idea. 21. I heard too many bad reports of the help line, even when people were just coming out of hospital the answer was no. So I would have not stood a chance. 22. More staffing, manned permanently and quicker responses. 23. Should be there as a service not a rigorous screening procedure. I had to reveal very personal information which I found objectionable. 24. Many incidents regarding very sick people not being allowed to drive home and have been to the local press (of which you will be aware) highlighted the fact that the personnel manning the phone line were incapable of making a proper decision. 25. The police were quite rude and unhelpful. 26. Yes. They should be more sympathetic and helpful to people who are only going about their daily lives, to do what is a legal right, have access to their homes. 27. Having given all our own info re address post code etc they often ask for it again. 28. It is to try and live and work incased in the town walls for two months and to get no understanding from your HELP LINE. 29. Enquires dealt with in a very unhelpful way. 30. The operators need to have more discretion to interpret the guidelines which they enforce as rules. The database should be even clearer so that the senseless waste of time on both parties is minimised when assessing access. 31. The help line number is the universal PCC switchboard, but the person answering claims that it is the help line. Any but the simplest query has to transmitted from the switch board operator to someone in traffic, and his/her reply then relayed by the operator to the caller and back again. 32. The telephone number was not widely publicised. 33. Attitude of operators not compatible with good service to customers. 34. If residents are given their human rights of access then we wouldn’t need any help line would we? 35. Felt as if you were being interrogated. Attitude was that you could not have permission unless you had very good cause. 36. They make you feel as if you are a criminal because an extra/additional trip has to be made in/out of the town for work. 37. They don’t appear to have any autonomy. A recorded message would serve the same purpose. APPENDIX FOUR QUESTION: Would you like to make any further comments regarding the issues raised in the previous questions? 1. Tables and chairs were set out on top of the previous night's takeaway debris. The streets were as untidy as they usually are. 2. The pedestrianisation scheme has been a great success (even if it does inconvenience my car use). 3. Tables and chairs create a hazard to elderly and children and ropes used for each establishment to define their area. 4. No. 5. National problem, not just Tenby. 6. It is not very pleasant sitting outside Feccis Chip Shop in Lower Frog Street. When the horse and cart passes the smell of horse muck is disgusting. 7. It was dangerous on the roads after 5 pm as pedestrians forgot about the cars. 8. Point 2 are of movement only in area of walking. Point 5 saw no increase in drunken behaviour 9. I think pedestrianisation creates a safe and pleasant atmosphere for visitors and residents. I wish it was in place for a longer period. 10. The vast majority of shops, restaurants and cafes appear to have benefited. 11. More litter more angry people, more abusive language and it kills the old Tenby 12. Tables and chairs are not suitable for Tenby streets 13. NO 14. Tables and chairs do not make cafe culture. watching people eating chips and drinking beer isn't enhancing Tenby's natural beauty - in fact the beautiful architecture of Tenby is totally overwhelmed by it. 15. Try pushing a wheelchair along a pavement which you have to gain access to shops 16. Open air chip shop 17. When your visit spans the time of change from cars to no cars it is a bit unsettling to have to remember to walk on the pavement or not. 18. Cafe culture is a let down to Tenby. Streets more difficult to walk half filled with tables and chairs. Many people reluctant to give passage. 19. Could the owners of chairs and tables in the streets also put out some flower and shrub boxes to add to the cafe culture. 20. Much easier for families with young children no traffic worries/easier access with buggy 21. Problems with alcohol occur later in evening not during pedestrianisation. 22. Don't know is the answer to all above because I did not go into town but form what friends who live in and outside the town walls have said it would be 1. Thoroughly agree, 5 Strongly agree. 23. Cafe culture please note Tenby is in west Wales so no the south of France weather is all important to sit out. 24. Too many cafes in the street 25. While there was certainly an increase in the case of intoxication during the summer this was not due to pedestrianisation. Creating a cafe culture in Tenby will take time and a change in social attitudes. 26. Pedestrianisation only works if you are young and fit. If like me your disabled then it's a complete nightmare 27. The whole thing is ill thought out and under funded. Council should visit towns in France and Spain to see how it should be done and how traffic can still be allowed access. Pubs shouldn't be allowed outside tables 28. Did not visit when pedestrianisation was in force 29. Cafe and restaurants should be limited to the amount of tables they can have outside and stopped from roping off the area and treating it as theirs 30. Many people prefer to eat/drink outside in the summer it would be good if more could be done with regards to music (live) in the square 31. I was quite happy with the pedestrianisation of the town. 32. Tables seem to get larger each year, the smell of hot food seems to linger in the air. 33. The police and council has tried for many years to stop drinking alcohol in the streets, outside public houses. Pedestrianisation has encouraged drinking not only outside the pubs but into the middle of the road. 34. I see no need for tables and chairs on pavements and even in some cases encroaching onto the road. This also encourages pigeons, seagulls and probably vermin when pavements are not washed down. 35. Compared to previous years there seemed to be a vast improvement with fewer problems 36. It is so pleasant to walk around without dodging cars. In the past, I have been hit by a car when walking on the pavement in Frog Street. The streets are too narrow for traffic. 37. Having lived down the harbour for 25 years I feel it is a shocking state of affairs for the residents. They should be able to drive in and out of the town at any time. Holiday makers and everybody else should be restricted as at present. I am glad I now live out of town. 38. I think the chairs on the streets created a great environment and made Tenby my first port of call for lunch because of the atmosphere. 39. No 40. Good investment for shop keepers etc 41. The relaxed atmosphere created by pedestrianisation cannot be over emphasised - this has to be good for both business and living within the walled town. 42. Pedestrianisation created a peaceful, happy, safe environment 43. The walled town is not just about cafe culture - the whole spectrum of life in the walled town has to be taken into consideration 44. As a wheelchair user can't use the pavements felt like a prisoner in my own home, my carer can't always take me in between 9-11. 45. Pedestrianisation certainly makes Tenby a more pleasant place to shop - especially so for elderly people such as myself. 46. Health and hygiene affected by eating in streets. Delivery of frozen goods via foot, no longer frozen on arrival at cafe distinction "health and Safety" who's liable? 47. It stops locals non Tenby people shopping in Tenby 48. With tables etc on street plus the many pushchairs in the town at this time it is difficult to get around especially for the elderly. 49. Not having tables and chairs on the street would not affect the amount of trade done by the cafe owners etc, extra trade would be made inside to compensate. 50. Tables chairs, areas chained off, a false sense of security as there were cars etc coming in and out, couldn't walk on pavements. 51. The cafe culture is quite a nice idea - but only if the streets are kept clean. there was a lot of rubbish/food left on the road. 52. Creased more drinking also more dirty town centre. 53. I am 82 and of course certain vehicles etc are allowed through at 82 I need to walk on pavements in case one of these allowed cars come through - very insecure about this. 54. I lived inside the town walls when I was young and my father kept his car outside the town walls as did most of us that lived on the harbour. 55. Tables and chairs make it very awkward for people to get by. especially disabled people with wheelchairs etc 56. Too many cafe's with tables outside making Tenby look dirty (pavements) and too many seagulls about. (need early morning steam cleaning of streets) 57. Pun culture formed. People felt they could drink alcohol outside freely. This is not good. 58. Having not visited the town during the experiment my answers to the above are based on my son's experience. 59. As a disabled person the tables and chairs make it very difficult for me to get around on the pavements I had to keep going on and off which is difficult. 60. Pedestrianisation is welcomed during August. Tables and chairs seem to form a clutter e.g. top of high street, lower frog street around the pom pom and lifeboat. The square looks disjointed as a result and does not give a cafe culture! More beer seems to be drank on the streets than coffees or tea. Needs to have seats and trees to make internal areas more visitor friendly as in other pedestrian areas in Britain. 61. Some of the street furniture looked 'tatty' and shabby and the fact that chips were being consumed did not look very cafe. 62. Tables outside pubs etc seem to be used by people wanting to enjoy drinks and meals outside in pleasant pedestrianised atmosphere (many with dogs). Not binge drinkers and hen/stag parties. 63. This 'cafe culture' is certainly not like Paris! It's not about exchanging ideas, it's about exposing large amounts of unattractive flesh whilst eating piles of chips. The pigeons and seagulls like it and so do the publicans. I was interested when a monk on Caldey said he hated Tenby during the pedestrianisation because of the "smell of fried food wherever you go" An increasing number of resident resent it strongly. 64. The way the tables and chairs are arranged is not always good - the gutters don't seem to be very inviting! Drinking outside would seem to be against all the suggestions about curbing, underage and excessive drinking. But the idea is lovely it just needs some fine tuning! 65. It is impossible to walk along the pavement because of the tables and chairs as you have to step off the kerb and onto the road to go around them, which is difficult when you are old and the kerbs are high. 66. The quality/standard of the tables and chairs of the street was much better this year but further improvements should be encouraged. 'Cafe culture' is an all day concept - a few tables and chairs in the street for a couple of hours does not create the relaxed atmosphere. 67. It seems to be an excuse for pubs etc to serve on the street. 68. I quite liked the table and chairs placed outside premises - it gave a continental theme especially on a lovely sunny day. 69. I would like the scheme to be introduced in the evenings eg 7-9pm with pubs allowing drinking on pavements with licensed supervision to create a cafe/pub culture for families. 70. I agree, despite the difficulties it makes for me, with the pedestrianisation, but despite the cafe culture the tables are in the way and hinder the movement to local businesses, around the narrow area by the lamb and son pubs tables cover so much of the road an emergency vehicle will be held up - This is a concern as I regularly have a life threatening allergy that requires an ambulance. I also dislike the rubbish and the clutter, wasn't the scheme supposed to make movement better and safer for tourists? This was supposed to make it easier for tourists to appreciate our lovely architectural town, not make pubs and cafes richer! It makes the town look dirty! Also it encourages the Seagulls to make a nuisance! 71. The restricted time between 11am and 5pm resulted in chaos on the roads during the times before and after the restricted hours. Overall the result was not a success. 72. It is all a bit of a 'muddle' The pavements are still there and depending on the time of day a car may or may not be travelling along the road - some pedestrians are clueless about units of course. 73. The no car zone particularly on a Saturday alienated many guests with children as they felt hostaged as they couldn't start their holiday until the roads reopened. Little is done to help people who are the life and blood of Tenby who are more angered about drunken behaviour particularly at the weekends and dirty beaches which is a far greater priority wouldn't you think? 74. The tables and chairs on the pavements roads make the town look untidy. They also interfered with access to nearby shops. 75. Pedestrianisation still not complete. 76. If it is raining the town seems empty and there is no atmosphere at all, and it rains a lot. The chairs and tables on display are plastic and do not represent a French type cafe culture, it cheapens the whole town at least have some style. 77. Food attracted a lot of seagulls should just be drinks outside. 78. I feel pedestrianisation made visitors with young children feel more relaxed. Traffic in Tenby in the summer and young children don't mix well. 79. To holiday makers the scheme is probably excellent as it leads to a relaxed atmosphere, but as a local it hindered my shopping and my husband, being self-employed, had great difficulty banking. 80. I am 92 years old the experiment did no affect me. 81. Tenby does not have a 'cafe culture' and this is a very poor way to create one. Compared to our other British towns NO effort has been put in to accommodate such a culture. 82. I loved the atmosphere in summer but got so fed up trying to park my car and instead went to Haverfordwest or Carmarthen. 83. Why do we have to have a cafe culture? Tenby is not designed for all of this who wants to sit in a gutter, only those who it is for. 84. The 'cafe culture' is a joke - the streets are not clean enough and the tables are often over drains - is this a breach of health and safety rules? 85. Tables and chairs made no difference to me (I am aged 86) during my frequent visits to Tenby from Penally. 86. Tables and chairs on pavements, in alleyways etc get in the way of pedestrians. They encourage scavenging seagulls. Pedestrianisation good - cafe culture poor! 87. More people seemed to be drinking because on sunny days they were all outside. 88. I have lived in Tenby all my life, but our children live away, we all think it is a smashing idea and we hate it ending! 89. Locals wishing to use other facilities in town, in a hurry, are hindered. 90. I would love to see the pedestrianisation all year round 91. Alcohol problems did seem to be greater but they mostly occurred outside the pedestrianisation hours. 92. The groups of drinkers who visit the town would, I believe, not be influenced in their behaviour by a pedestrianisation project or the lack of it. 93. As a disabled person who cannot walk far, I did not visit Tenby during the pedestrianisation as I know I would have difficulties. 94. Drinking on pavements sending out wrong message for family resort. 95. The confusion and dreadful traffic problems in the town leading up to 11am cancels out the benefits. There is no policing during this time. Later when there is no traffic there can be up to three traffic wardens. Add this to the other costs involved does not seem worth it. 96. Cafe culture creates disorder in the town with increased drinking, and far from relaxed atmosphere seems to create aggressive and loud behavior. Tenby was always a lovely family venue before the recent changes, now we seem to be attracting a younger age group. 97. Most businesses left enough space to access the building, a few did not, think it would be best not to block the footpath completely. 98. The rush to make deliveries or provide services by various utilities and firms, prior to 11am creates a frenzied and unpleasant situation on the streets. There is a clear absence of traffic control which underpins a strategy of hands off policing. Drivers park anywhere anytime; action only being taken when complaints are made. 99. Tables and chairs are put out early. Tables and chairs are not put away on time. Cars rush in at the end of the ban and people are still walking in the middle of the roads. Restricting cars which have been waiting a few hours to get into their properties so that they can get on and enjoy their holiday. The pedestrianisation has not created a relaxed atmosphere. Quite the opposite for home owners. It has made it stressful coming to our holiday home. Home owners within the town should not be restricted access. Other traffic should be though! 100. The town centre was like a rather large pub beer garden. Cluttered with tables chairs market traders and musicians. 101. More pedestrian signage to harbour., South Beach etc would be useful. 102. Would Like pavements to be left clear 103. I would not mind the "Cafe Culture" if tables were cleared immediately , customers left them in my opinion the look of half eaten food left on plates would put off any visitor or resident. I found that this was the "norm", again in my opinion because of tables left uncleared and food and wrappers thrown to the floor or ground this would put off the sort of visitor that Tenby should be enjoying. 104. With regard to alcohol, I never go into town in the evenings due to drunkenness and o police presence. 105. No 106. When empty the square looks very dreary and unkept. Would only be alleviated by repaving , but not feasible. Whole scheme should be abandoned. 107. No, I think the scheme is very good. 108. Traffic in the town especially down the High Street , Julian Street and Upper/Lower Frog street is too fast and the public are at risk. Pedestrianisation was a pleasure to walk about with no fear. 109. Some premises cordoned off the pavement outside their premises. 110. There is a danger of tables being pushed further into the road, and the assumption that establishments assuming they have the right to do so. Where tables etc are used the operators should be made to wash down that area daily. 111. Too many daytime/evening drunken people within town walls. Very limited police presence. Taxis in square seem to attract these people. 112. Better for safety, wheel chair users and prams with pavement being so narrow. 113. Very Good 114. The problem with alcohol was there before pedestrianisation. 115. Enhances the holiday atmosphere 116. Period 11am to 5pm leaves too little time for town to function. 117. pedestrianisation ok for newly built shopping areas with planning ahead but not an existing town on a promontory position and limited roads and space 118. question 5. If you are going to try and be continental you are going to have some problems. it never going to be perfect it is 2005 119. no 120. Tenby has always had problems relating to drink 121. no 122. The number of incidents recorded is not an accurate reflection of the problem, With far more unreported than the official data base. 123. Tenby is a tourist town, its main source of income is tourists and the visitors that we have spoken to all think that pedestrianisation is great. It gives them a feel that they are somewhere up-market with street cafes and not a cheap and sleazy Blackpool type resort. 124. It would be nice to have all year round with the weekends. 125. No cyclists to be allowed to ride through town during pedestrianisation time. 126. My son and I were having coffee at about 4-4.45pm, and because the roads were opening at five we were told to hurry up. Not satisfactory. 127. Introduce proper one way system around Tenby. Make use of wide space in front of St Marys. Have parking for the disabled on long one side, and metres for show and stay. 128. More control on the streets. 129. No. 130. We want more people to come to Tenby and relax, and a cafe culture really encourages this. 131. The atmosphere of cafe culture on a sunny day was superb. 132. The need to put barriers up beside the tables and chairs in upper Frog street to prevent blind people walking into them is very petty, how many blind people walk into things? The pedestrians are on the roads in any case and with the tables and chairs out. 133. I think it encourages day time drinking. 134. I dislike the way cafes put barriers across the pavements out side their premises. It is not their ground to cut off. 135. No. 136. Some seemed to make up their own rules in cars, Park and ride bus held up so many times by arrogant car drivers. 137. I wouldn’t like to live or be on holiday in the centre of town as a serious lack of freedom for all concerned. 138. The cafes on the street are not planned properly. 139. A fire engine struggled past Lamb Inn. People still eating on pavements after 5pm, making pedestrians walk in the road with traffic. 140. Increased problems relating to alcohol were occurring prior to pedestrianisation, however some public houses appear to be encouraging large groups to drink in the street even when the scheme is not running ie after 5pm especially on weekends. 141. Cafe culture, I don’t think so. This is not the Med. 142. To the last question. There has always been a problem with drinking in and out of the pubs in Tenby in spite of police protests (if they cant deal with it don’t look!). 143. Tacky drinking parties spread right across the road particularly on a Saturday afternoon were very threatening. Just wanted to get home. 144. Longer opening hours would prevent binge drinking. It does not matter where you go in the UK, this problem is here, but not in more relaxed countries. 145. The town looks empty and half cooked, a few plastic chairs and dirty crockery is not cafe culture. 146. Its wonderful, but make the people who earn extra because of the tables and chairs out side there businesses clean outside their establishments, it was a disgrace in 2005. 147. The town looked unclean and tables and chairs didn’t fit on the pavements, this gave a general untidy look to the centre of town. 148. It is good for Tenby tourism. Poor for access for the disabled. 149. Cafe culture should reflect a gentle era not the loutish behaviour we now experience. Too many peddles desecrate the church railings with their tat. I wrote to Councillor Mike Evans in September 2004 regarding peddlers blocking pavements at 9.30 am, still no reply. 150. Tenby has enough problems with out of hours drinking, without further increases. 151. It made the town safer and that is important when you have young children in a busy town. 152. Litter and food odours were more noticeable. 153. Due to pedestrianisation we tend to spend much more of our time inside the town walls, this is because there is a much more pleasant environment. 154. I am of the opinion that alcohol is consumed on the premises and not in the streets. This is a condition of the licence??? 155. I rarely went into Tenby in the day so unable to comment on the effects of the atmosphere etc. 156. There is an easy, relaxed atmosphere. I saw no evidence of problems regarding alcohol. 157. Too many cafes now trade in the town. 158. Cafe culture needs more than just tables and chairs outside. We need more street entertainment, more attractions like the horse drawn cart, In fact a town entertainments manager. 159. It gives Tenby a continental feeling in the Square without traffic parked on double yellow lines and all the noise and fumes. 160. When tables and chairs in some areas were on the road, at times it was difficult to pass by. 161. It was nice to sit in the street with a coffee and watch others go by so relaxed. 162. Cafe culture is a handy description for the outside eating of fish and chips, and being in the Tenby scheme. It is generally less than cultured, and the weather often unsuitable. 163. The corner of St George street and Lower Frog street is an open air chip shop. 164. Sadly visitors appear to think that the town is for their benefit only, and therefore show no regard for locals who live here all year round not just the summer. 165. There is no entertainment unless you are an alcoholic. 166. The cafe look was attractive. 167. Traffic outside the town walls was gridlocked, there was traffic all the way back to Narberth road. 168. Better indication of when the end of pedestrianisation is, this is because pedestrians now take it as the norm and tend to walk in the middle of the street all of the time. 169. Pembrokeshire is not France. The cafe culture seems like it does not work with the winter weather. 170. Too many tables and chairs on the pavements. 171. Town was too cluttered with tables and chairs and push chairs in the middle of the street. 172. Other towns all over the country have pedestrianisation, and on the continent, so why not Tenby? 173. Tables and chairs over double yellow lines, and uneven pavements, this is a long way from so called cafe culture. 174. Not a cafe culture, a rubbish culture, and a smell of chips culture. 175. The cafe owners never seem to keep the pavements outside their premises clean and tidy. Fish and chip shops are the main culprit. 176. In my opinion table and chairs should not be on the street, it just clutters up the street, and gives a common image to the town, visitor come to see the old town and the seaside, not to fall over big beer bellies. 177. Tenby resembles nothing like a cafe culture town, very tacky looking, tables in the gutter especially the three Mariners. 178. Without a total ban of traffic, one could never feel totally relaxed. 179. Pavements in Tenby are too narrow for tables and chairs. 180. Pedestrianisation did create a cafe culture, but not a pleasant cafe culture. There was increased alcohol consumption in the streets at all times of the day and the town was deep in fish and chop wrappers. People did move around the town, but would have done so anyway. The atmosphere on Tenby cafe culture was deeply unpleasant I am afraid. 181. Tenby’s biggest problem relates to drinking, but I don’t see how traffic affects this. 182. There is a relaxed atmosphere in town if you are on foot. There is an extremely stressed atmosphere if you are in a car/van etc. This is before during or after pedestrianisation. 183. Cafe culture is not happening. There is no culture in spreading beer gardens into the street. Tacky cheap atmosphere like the fairground. 184. Harder to walk through the town as people seem to walk all over the street no just on the pavement. 185. The alcohol problem is just as bad in the winter, if not worse, what do we blame then. 186. Pedestrianisation period should be increased ie 10am till 7pm, the time of year April to the end of the holidays. 187. If traders want cafe culture they must keep it clean and tidy, plates and glasses must be cleared away and the pavement must be kept clean. 188. I am 85 years of age and do not feel competent to fill in this form 189. Owners of licensed premises need to ensure that their customers behave when sitting at the tables in the street. 190. I love the relaxed atmosphere, and I love the cafe culture atmosphere. 191. It is a very good initiative. It contributes to the atmosphere of the town. 192. All I am going to say is that you have the feel of a holiday atmosphere and can relax without fear of being run over. On a nice day it is even better. 193. Really increased the holiday, relaxed feel of Tenby. People are more relaxed without the fear of cars. 194. The businesses involved greatly increased their sales area. Any future license should be costed on the bills of a fraction of the business rate eg should the increase in the area - 17% the cost should be 17% the business rate. 195. Some public houses have big noise coming out of them day and night. At times I have seen pedestrian urinating into a black bin! That is not cafe culture. 196. I would suggest using a floral display to keep vital access areas clear if emergency vehicles needed to get through (ask the nearest business to be responsible for maintaining them and moving them). 197. No. 198. Pedestrianisation helped in cluttering up the area with tables and chairs making it harder to walk around and encouraging litter noise and all day drinking. 199. Not a cafe culture but a chip and beer culture. 200. Tenby is a much better place due to the pedestrianisation scheme please keep it going it would be good to extend the season eg June to the end of September. 201. Enforce parking restrictions inside and outside walls of Tenby. 202. No. 203. Cafe culture is not necessary and restricts pavements. 204. I would like to see cafe culture and not pup culture. 205. The so called cafe culture makes Tenby look cheap. 206. (locals) Disabled drivers who use the banks are very restricted " blue badges" should be allowed to access the town centre for urgent needs, but if you are not disabled I suppose you would not understand. 207. Only one pub caused problems with drunken behaviour in the street (George Street) This premises should not be allowed to put chairs and tables out. 208. The drinking problem occurs in the evening mainly. 209. There is adequate room in the cafes not to create cafe culture. Perhaps a monsoon summer would be the answer!!! 210. As a disabled person I found the placing of tables and chairs on the pavement and road, very inconvenient, they only benefit drinkers. I only used the help line once and had to carefully explain to the person on the other end what I needed, they did not have a clue. I strongly believe the pedestrian scheme is driving visitors away from Tenby. Your street surveys are only talking to day trippers, not residents! Many visitors that I have spoken to regarding the effect on residents do not believe me when I say that as a disabled resident I am only allowed access by car once a day! I laugh when they say what about human rights!! I say not in Pembrokeshire. 211. Although I think that pedestrianisation works to limit people driving through town for no reason its a severe restriction on residents in the town with properties with good off road parking, seriously de-valuing them both as freehold property and for rental. 212. Cafe culture not only restricts pedestrian access, but is a barrier that very much effects disabled persons and elderly. Also chairs and tables placed above gutters and drains some of which are only washed when it rains!! Giving the whole walled area a very dirty and unclean look. 213. Tables and chairs in George street and in Tudor square hinder pedestrian movement. Both streets are to narrow to allow tables and chairs in the road. 214. Very leading questions, I am not prepared to answer them. 215. What do you mean by cafe culture? If you mean a lot of fat people eating chips in the street, most defiantly yes. 216. Helping residents move around town is not at all the same as helping traffic move around town. It did reduce pollution in the town. 217. Pedestrianisation appears to make no positive difference to the atmosphere and use of town. As residents we have a night to access with vehicles at any time to our properties. 218. The idea of cafe culture has been high jacked by licensed premises putting beer gardens on the street. It is not a culture and smells of chips most days. When the weather is wet no concessions are made for residents and tables are not put out. Tables and chairs particularly in St Georges Street are not enforced into designated areas. Some towns have metal studs in the road/pavement. The Hope and Anchor increased its table numbers from 4 to 6 but no one cheated the 3.25 metre rule. Emergency vehicles still have to negotiate tables here and outside the Sun. There are increased alcohol problems both actual and perceived. 219. People milling around aimlessly make it more difficult to get around. It must be impossible for wheel chair users, and difficult for people with prams to get into shops as there are usually tables between the shop and the nearest drop kerb. Access to Quay Hill is hindered by tables from Pam Pam and Lifeboat Tavern almost meting. One has to walk on the road, and it is difficult to feel relaxed about this if one has spent over 20 years looking out for traffic in town. 220. I do not believe that eating fish and chips and drinking larger whilst sitting at tables and chairs in the street enhances the image of Tenby. Pedestrians / visitors behave as if the streets are pedestrianised out side the 11 - 5 hours, making it dangerous as they believe they have a right to walk in the middle of the road all the time. 221. Tables and chairs are ok in some places where there is a lot of space, but a nuisance in narrow streets. Seagull's are a menace when there is so much food and debris outside. Afternoons can seem more relaxed but mornings and early evenings when all traffic comes and goes in a rush it is horrible. 222. I drive for country cam so my people cannot get into town between 11 - 5. those who can get in are very uncertain of walking due to crowds all over the place. 223. Far more could be done with Tudor Square - entertainment. 224. Yet again for another year of carnage within the town, we put up with this nonsense! Locals are moving out, businesses are struggling with all aspects from deliveries to health and safety etc. The central attitude of public visitors in this century is aggressive, to all. Local folk want to live and work in Tenby but at every opportunity the Council do not listen to our thousands of complaints, why is that? Obviously they have their own agenda for Tenby, so what is the point? 225. Excellent for children. Much safer. 226. The problems caused by pedestrianisation outweigh the advantages. 227. The siting of tables and chairs should be monitored. Some chairs and tables are positioned in the most unsuitable locations and cause obstructions. 228. Traffic Wardens seem hot to take full advantage of traffic free town could be more stringent control of traffic parking outside pedestrian area. One particular spot - outside Somerfield on bus reservation. 229. Alcohol should be kept off the streets. 230. Town untidy with litter thrown around and tables not cleared during pedestrianisation. 231. Having the town closed it opens it up. Brings life to the town. 232. Pedestrianisation helped to give a continental feeling which I think in the main was good for the town image. 233. As I didn’t go into Tenby town after 9.30 I have no comment. 234. It does not help movement of residents only visitors who have totally different needs. 235. Not all streets were appropriate for outside tables and chairs. Pubs etc., encourage daytime drinking through additional seatage. 236. Keep tables and chairs in street controlled so access ways are clear and period buildings can be seen and enjoyed. 237. Would like to see experiment extended. 238. My family and I use the shops and cafes more in town when pedestrianisation is in use and spend more money in town and enjoy the freedom to walk through town with no cars and traffic. 239. Tables/chairs increases mess within the town seagulls dive bomb the High Street/Tudor Square for food and pavements are filthy. Never cleaned by restaurants. 240. Eating with tables put in the dirty gutters which hardly ever get washed - not exactly hygienic. 241. No 242. Poor quality presentation by some businesses reduced the beneficial impact of the scheme. 243. It is wonderful to have no traffic within the town walls for at least part of the day. 244. Think its brilliant. Lovely to be able to walk comfortably. My daughter has a double buggy and cannot always use pavements so was so much easier. 245. As I live here I was able to go about my business normally. 246. Intermittent cars during pedestrianisation times drove dangerously fast and that includes local business owners. 247. Cafe Culture is a misdemeanor. Tenby is not on the Mediterranean. A buzz word that should be dropped. 248. Increased litter on tables encourages gulls and looks unsightly. Walking past groups of half naked men drinking is intimidating and I don’t think my children should grown up thinking that their behaviour is normal or acceptable. Keep the alcohol inside the pubs! 249. I rarely visited town except for personal household shopping. 250. Businesses putting out tables and chairs should be required to clean up the mess of discarded food etc left by their clients. 251. The streets seemed to be covered in partly eaten food around the seated areas encouraging vermin. 252. Cafe culture unnecessary and restricts pavement use. 253. Tables and chairs on pavement mean it is harder to get about as people slow down all the time. 254. Do not agree with cafe tables and chairs blocking pavements. Some did some didn’t. No uniform method. (needs improvement). 255. Cant walk on pavements and are darting in and out of tables and chairs. 256. I imagine that its a pleasant experience to be able to sit outside whether eating or drinking. 257. Pedestrianisation should be extended Easter-September 9.5 pm. 258. Generally a much nicer atmosphere more relaxed and much safer. 259. The excess drinking will happen anyway. 260. It would be nice to have this all year round. It helps to cut petrol consumption, pollution and helps to encourage people to walk. A healthier lifestyle. 261. Pedestrianisation seems to help visitors to the town but restricts the residents of Tenby who live within the town walls. Especially when trying to find parking outside of the town is very difficult as there are so many people trying to find spaces. APPENDIX FIVE QUESTION: If you have any comments to make regarding any aspect of the implementation of the pedestrianisation scheme please write in: 1. Create more of a market once a week inside town centre. 2. Enforce current laws! No need for pedestrianisation. 3. I feel the relaxed atmosphere in the town helps both visitors and shopkeepers. 4. Strictly enforce yellow line restrictions all over the town. Abolish residential permit areas. 5. Start 10.00 am finish 6 pm. 6. Too many disabled parking places eg the Parrog on one St Mary's Street for local residents only 7. None 8. Keep up the good work 9. Dr and carers must be allowed access at all times 10. Should be for twelve months in particular high street and Tudor Square 11. Stops all cars parking outside the market as they obstruct the flow of traffic. Stop double parking in the square . Have more traffic wardens about to book cars not just look at them. 12. None 13. 2005 Very good in every aspect 14. I am in great favour of the pedestrianisation scheme. I do not live inside the town walls, but feel strongly that the people that do, should not be restricted. They should have free access to the town. 15. I moved out of the walled town this year because the pedestrian scheme was such an inconvenience to normal living. I have a baby and would have to a) find parking space b) bring baby/pushchair into town and c) impossible plus shopping or anything else. Totally impossible hence I left. 16. Some control of folk needed 17. Businesses deliveries before /after 1100 - 1700. Tradesmen - unrestricted access required ie emergencies with Plumbing/Electrics. Taxi access for elderly /disabled passengers? 18. Should start earlier. Should close later 19. Allow emergency services only 20. No cars in the centre only makes for more parking in road outside the zone mainly on double lines - where are the wardens? 21. Should be extended to 0800 to 2000 daily for June to September and Easter period 22. I'd favour the scheme being extended into June as well 23. Old people find it difficult to shop and go out of town for easy shopping. 24. I believe residents businesses, and essential users should be allowed access to the walled town during the day - but not unrestricted access, as this would ruin the purpose of pedestrianisation. A negotiated limited access should be put in place. 25. I park in the walled town I brought a garage at great expense and now I can not use the property for 6 weeks this year. 26. It should be done properly to allow access to all homes and the harbour with a single lane through Tudor Square - widen pavements to allow restaurants to build decent outdoor structures 27. I totally support those residents and businesses who want access to their premises at all times. As my elderly relative (in their 80s) grow older I will increasingly want vehicular access to their home (see Q5) 28. Keep all street traders outside the town walls this must include the five arches also, street traders include Inca bands 29. Long term residents of the town should be allowed unlimited access - holiday homes access should be restricted if long term residents have restricted access then maybe the could have a reduction in council tax. 30. Question 7 was not very clear. Tradesmen and deliveries should be in the morning before the pedestrianisation starts. 31. Restriction on heavy goods lorries 32. Deliveries before 11 am 33. Pedestrianisation should be extended to include weekends and bank holidays April to September 34. Why is there no traffic control before the deadline. Police and traffic wardens should be dealing with the congestion in the mornings 35. The scheme should be scrapped. the scheme encourages pubs and cafes to extend their businesses to far into the road and encourages drinking outside the pubs./ 36. Would like to see it on every weekend and school holidays (other than summer) and to start at 10.00am 37. Allow businesses until midday to unload, load 38. Taxis should be banned from the walled town at all times 39. Better traffic control during hours (ie 9-11am) prior to the street closure this is when congestion is at its worse. 40. Traffic wardens allowing cars to exit town after time that pedestrianisation commence. 41. Extend hours and period to 12 months of year. 42. You can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. You're making the best of a difficult job. 43. Perhaps residents with their main/principal homes within the pedestrianised area should be given additional rights of access in genuine emergency situations. 44. Local businesses have abused the parking restrictions and are the worst offenders(for basic parking) 45. Make the larger delivery vans and the companies they work for use small vehicles 46. Stop cars parking on pavements 47. Please visit the walled town before 11 am on pedestrianisation days to witness the chaos caused by delivery vehicles and cars trying to exit. 48. My human rights, will be writing to other bodies explaining my position. 49. Strictly police the town centre - no parking at all except for disabled bays and metered areas (short term only) revenue would pay for warden (this includes Tenby businesses) 50. Shorter hours 11.30 - 4 pm only for summer school holidays not all of July 51. Have T warden on duty from 1 hour pedestrianisation have two walled town taxis with special phone number. 52. A good idea but as a blue badge holder I found it very difficult to park anywhere near town which is very frustrating when you just need to go to the bank/post office 53. Being in business and living locally I did have to picky my time for going into town - the main 6 weeks were difficult for parking but it was same problem pre-pedestrianisation. 54. I feel that the pedestrian scheme is excellent I am all for residential parking but naturally this does lead to further parking problems for people outside, but I use my car with discretion, using the bus during the busy period as much as possible. 55. Must allow residents/business/tradesmen/ access at all times 56. Pedestrians unsure if town is traffic free or not a lot of this seemed to be caused by allowing the park/ride bus to go down to the harbour. It should stop at the boundary of the walled town and not be allowed din the pedestrian area. I work with disabled people who like to visit Tenby regularly and this became impossible during pedestrianisation. residents need access. Town jammed solid by lorries delivering before the close down time. 57. Years ago the train used to bring all the holiday makers who then walked with their luggage to their chosen hotel or guest house, walking is not bad it is good for us. 58. Please take note of the elderly people with walking aids /trolleys who have problems with obstacles on the pavements. 59. Local full time residents have the right to travel freely to their homes. 60. Although I've no car think residents should have access any time to their allotted parking space. 61. Difficulty for disabled persons to reach banks. I take an elderly and otherwise housebound resident of Penally to Tenby weekly and we were unable to access the facilities she needed. 62. Unable to visit town in the morning working. Car parks full in the pm so how do we go about our normal routine ie banks etc when you cannot park, if I do end up with a £30 fine first time. Will not visit in summer months 63. If the traffic wardens were to follow their job description more closely and implement the set rules then Tenby would not suffer so many problems with parking 64. The atmosphere is as a successful holiday town should be. 65. The problems with congestion in Tenby all arises from lack of enforcement of regulations. A new traffic system should be introduced and adhered to especially between may - September. Proposal follows. 66. When pedestrianisation starts in July the streets look 'dead' as the people visiting are mainly during the schools summer vacation. 67. none 68. The scheme is working (with limited access up/down Crackwell street as at present). 69. Pedestrianisation does inconvenience residents who may need to travel in and out during the scheme, however the situation before was unworkable and the present scheme is better overall for the town. 70. It would enhance the scheme if enforcement of parking controls were maintained equally rigorously outside of the 11am to 5pm hours as well!! 71. Too many cars allowed through during pedestrianised hours. 72. Pembrokeshire County Council has acted in a dictational manner. Outsiders cannot believe that residents could be treated so badly. Officials and Cabinet members do not appear to consult with residents and some resident have already moved from Tenby because of pedestrianisation. Continued harassment of residents could lead to a ghost town. 73. Again why can't those few of us with on street parking go up Crackwell Street? I saw several vehicles come through the town - it could be done more effectively. 74. Improved signage and publicity. 75. I myself did not see anything wrong with the pedestrianisation scheme, everything seems to be covered, especially the emergency services which is most important. 76. To start on a Saturday was not a good choice. 77. Residents in Tenby who normally park roadside in winter have difficulty parking in car parks because of the volume of tourists - perhaps a few parking bays reserved for residents might help sooth ruffled feathers. 78. Tenby is not a theme park it is a community where people live and work for 365 days a year. Any scheme should recognise this and not disadvantage resident who pay council tax. 79. Stop wasting money on stupid enhancement schemes, until the traffic planning is fully sorted out. 80. Something needs to be done to control the time musicians are allowed to play in Tudor square. Having to listen to pipers for hours on end when trying to work really, really sends you mad. 81. Why should people with off street parking be penalized twice this is against human rights!!! Maybe you should try it!! 82. Should not start on a Saturday as it is change over day for most holiday makers. 83. No parking at all on main roads through Tenby i.e. Roads heading to and including the square. 84. Very inconvenient to locals on a daily basis. I believe it encourages a cafe culture and also a drinking culture. I do not take my children into town on Saturday afternoons because of drunken groups such as hen and stag parties. 85. Maybe another car park with park and ride facilities especially in the summer months. 86. Restriction of personal liberty 87. The idea is brilliant but is not backed up with a constant plan to deal with all the parking needs. 88. It is one big muddle and it should be scrapped! 89. As usual it is only half hearted! 90. Pedestrianisation only works because there is a park and ride. 91. I was an 'errand boy' (star supply stores) in Tenby in 1933 were I a present day shop keeper I don't think I would like the present scheme and I would close down if scheme extended. 92. Generally I think it is a very good scheme 93. Access to town fro station by taxis should be allowed with a very strict enforcement of speed limit and only to hotels holiday accommodation. 94. As in most schemes of this kind there are obviously advantages and disadvantages e.g. if I need to go to a bank in Tudor square I have to go before 11am it makes life hard for residents. 95. Make all day coaches unload and load in butts, field coach park and keep them out of town. 96. I would prefer it if the hours were shorter - stopping at 4pm would be better. 97. Restricting traffic to access only. Strict Traffic control through Tudor Square access exit Crackwell street. Make wider pavements as in Pembroke Dock with pull in bays for loading. 98. Tudor square is fine and the High Street roads such as St Marys Street, Cresswell Street and Lower Frog street should remain as they are with access to properties. 99. We would like to travel back and forth to our home without restrictions, and not to be treated differently to any other UK resident in this respect. 100. We have a lock up garage outside the walled town. We only need to take our shopping to the harbour once a week. We are "well advanced" OAPs and living on Caldey, We find the existing scheme very adequate. 101. My wife and I run the guest house on Caldey Island and the scheme affects a number of our guests, particularly the elderly when arriving in Tenby by train. There may be little time between arrival and departure of last boat. 102. I like the scheme. It gives character to Tenby but causes problems when my children and grandchildren visit. 103. Only residents should have access into the town walls. Business should be aloud to load/unload early morning. Other day tripping vehicles should be stopped from entering at all times/all year. 104. In reference to question 8, the are different answers for different circumstances. Not known in advance. In reference to question 9. I never move the car unnecessarily during summer months so every journey is an important one. Ditto everyone else in the house. 105. Enforce the traffic regulation at Belmont Arch. Traffic abused the no entry times both ways to enter and leave the town using the Paragon and Lower Frog Street. 106. Increase visible security on car parks to deter theft and damage appropriate action taken. This is an important added cost to be paid if PCC wishes to increase/improve Tourism Traffic 107. There wont be any room for pedestrianisation if there are any more tables put out on the pavement and road. I am all for business making Tenby a resort where not only day trippers but a good class family resort. 108. None 109. No parking in High Street or St Julians Street 110. No, Pedestrianisation appears to work and I think very good. 111. The present system makes Tenby the only harbour I know of where boat owners wishing to launch small craft during the summer months are prevented from doing so to facilitate a nice environment for day trippers, hardly an incentive for potential tourist wishing to stay. 112. Stop all HGV traffic within walls, Move taxi rank to South Parade, only 100 yards from square. Street traders taking place of vehicles. 113. Was policing good enough, There are a few vehicles still to use the High Street 114. Very Good 115. It would be more satisfactory for residents if some of the benefits could be spread throughout the summer season. 116. Some trades people think they have a right to park outside their premises all day under the pretence of deliveries. 117. Creates parking problems, reduces street parking and car parks do not meet demands at peak weeks. 118. Elderly and disabled people find restricted access to banks and building societies extremely irritating. 119. Traffic Wardens no help between 9am and 11am when really needed. 120. Make the park and ride at Carew airfield or new hedges roundabout 121. use money used in this endeavor to create more personal regarding existing traffic and also change residential parking from all the time to 5.00pm to 9.00am. Too many empty all day 122. none 123. pedestrianisation in theory-great especially for pedestrians but if I was suddenly prevented vehicle access for 1.4 mile around my house for 6 hours a day I would be furious 124. I have no comment as I do not spend any money in Tenby in the summer months 125. properly pedestrians by getting rid of pavements so making ground level for cafe culture. Also more effort to clean and wash streets every morning 126. should be access for all residents within walled town not just for people with off road parking 127. make more room for wheelchair users off pavements for instance by antique shop by viaduct over towards Jewsons. 128. I suggest you do not relax your controls. Long term plans to extend the period and that it ceases to be an experiment. 129. 11am - 4pm would be better as it would enable people to collect items purchased from the shops (by car) before the close of business. 130. It is the best thing. Large cities like Swansea and Haverfordwest can do it. Tenby cant take traffic, either that or traffic wardens need to be harsher. People abuse the parking. 131. Keep it up. 132. Once you allow some traffic during pedestrianisation the whole project will fall apart, like the permit experiment some years ago. People will always find a way to get around the rules. 133. I believe in the principle of reducing traffic, but believe a fairer system would be a return to the previous permit system scheme. The only difficulty with that was that it was not enforced and abused by many. A properly controlled permit scheme should be the answer. The cafe culture in its current format cheapens the town with the plastic garden furniture etc. We can do so much better. 134. The schemes intent is in competition with personal, domestic and commercial demands of all the population, and fails to make sufficient concessions to meet their demands. 135. Drivers tend to park anywhere there is a space outside the seclusion zone, including access slopes to roads and pavements for wheelchair users making it very difficult to find somewhere to cross the road safely 136. Immense pressure put on families with school aged children off for a whole six weeks to be up and out before 11am or suffer long treks to the car with kids. 137. Would not recommend a holiday here to anyone, it is so dirty and there is grass growing everywhere. 138. Pedestrianisation makes a difference in the fact that visitors forget that it is not 24 hours, so wonder all over the roads all of the time. 139. The park and rides are great but cant t be a bit more touristy to do a round trip. 140. I think that it is unfair to Tenby shopkeepers and residents within the town walls. 141. Higher fines for cars making their own rules and holding up park and ride buses and enjoyment of pedestrians. 142. I have sympathy with Tenby residents living within the town walls, regarding the restrictions placed on them regarding their vehicle access. Hence my reply to 7e. 143. I believe that it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or even killed. This is because a lot of people are drinking alcohol between 11am and 5pm and can walk on the road safely, and then after 5pm there is traffic. If a survey was to be done on accidents or near accidents between 5-6pm I think that the results would be frightening. 144. People are regularly parking on double yellow lines in Tenby without the pedestrianisation scheme Tenby town is dangerous in the summer. 145. If the traffic wardens were there when no Traffic was in town were used all the time, there would be no need for a ban from 11am till 5pm. 146. There are too many residents only parking spaces on Harries street, most remain unused, Whereas Trafalgar road is congested. 147. Visit towns like Bath where planning is better. 148. Start on a Sunday, end on a Friday. 149. I feel better use of the pedestrianisation area could be made. For example extend the hours at the weekend or just Sunday, and allow the markets to move in to the square from the parade. 150. Support the concept of a joint arrangement with the police to provide wardens to strictly enforce restrictions, coupled up with more/better parking facilities, multi storey in Butts field?? We have considered moving from Tenby. 151. While it is personally inconvenient and restrictive I appreciate its advantages in some respects, but would suggest 12 noon till 4pm times covering school holidays. Improved access for workmen disabled people and residents in the town walls. 152. Allow taxis for disabled people and maybe for people with small children. 153. If you are allowing access at times, it will need someone to police the area. 154. I live outside where the scheme takes place and rarely go into the town area. 155. Due to pedestrianisation I have found that there is a definite rush into town prior to and after the closing and opening times, this will cause an accident soon. 156. If we are to have pedestrianisation it must e done properly. Cobble the whole town square, reinstate the fountain, provide proper seating. What we have is a rather sad looking half measure. Where this would leave residents I have no idea. 157. Police and traffic wardens are inconsistent, nobody should park on double yellow lines, try it in Cardiff. 158. If current double yellow lines were enforced the congestion in Tudor square would disappear. Lorries should deliver before 11am and only car should enter Tenby for a maximum of 30 mins. No double yellow line parking etc. Adults and children expect there to be no traffic in Tenby and then suddenly at 5pm cars race into the town centre. It makes a very dangerous situation. 159. I am a Blue badge holder so I would like to park in town at most times, and more disabled parking. 160. Harbour users need access following the bus and permits worked well enough. The handy bus is too expensive could it be included in the park and ride scheme? 161. The people making and taking decisions for Tenby obviously do not live here. Have they ever tried to access the town for a whole month. Visiting for a few days does not give the true impact this scheme has on peoples lives. 162. When tables and chairs are out in the middle of the day Tenby starts to become untidy, rubbish needs to have regular dustmen going around the town. 163. for residents must be maintained to allow town to remain alive. How many working people between 18 and 60 years are able to live within the town. 164. I think that it is a very good scheme personally I cant work very well due to arthritis in both hips, but I park and ride which is brilliant. 165. I think that it is a great idea. 166. Could have a permanent warden (not a traffic warden) at the White Lion junction. 167. The need for more car parking spaces out of the town. The multi story car park could then be used for residents and businesses only. Remember, residents add to parking problems as well. 168. Would it be a good idea too reverse traffic to go into Tenby via Park road and into the car park and not along the parade. Roads leading off the Esplanade should be one way, or parking on one side only. 169. I don’t agree that businesses/residents should have unrestricted access but perhaps access could be allowed more within reason. 170. Stop allowing cafes and pubs to block pavements and paths of the roads with tables and chairs. 171. Regarding question 7f, we believe that no vehicles should be allowed access at all during the scheme hours. This would encourage more use of hand carts and electric vehicles. 172. When really needed (I recognise the need) there does need to be access at times. 173. There should be areas available for cars with disabled passengers. 174. Vehicle access should be what is was in 2003. My opinion was not listed in question 7f. 175. First decide what is your aim, I suggest it is to free the high street and Tudor Square for certain hours of the day. For this it is not necessary to use the town walls as a boundary for the scheme. Traffic circulation and access could be achieved. 176. The theory of pedestrianisation is excellent, and a lot of the implementation has been good, but the whole endeavour fails because of the shortage of parking spaces. 177. Scrap the whole thing it is rubbish. It is a waste of money, space and time, Get rid of it. It is a joke to pedestrianise Tenby as it is only one street. 178. I would like something done about the paths in Deer park, they are an accident waiting to happen. 179. Strict adherence to enforcing yellow lines, and freedom to low kerb access by painting bright yellow. 180. Creates parking problems at busy times, the car parks are often full. 181. Not being able to park in Tenby, I shopped in Pembroke or Saundersfoot. 182. Not fair on businesses. Hard to bank money, especially as I work in business I feel unsafe walking around town with so much money. 183. People with guest houses or hotels etc, you must come to an arrangement with them. 184. Not enough disabled places to park. 185. Tenby has become just pubs, fast food outlets and junk shops. 186. Because of the increase in visitors to Tenby and the lack of parking, I try to avoid Tenby in the Summer months. 187. Some of the female wardens are rude and overbearing. They have no idea how to be polite to people. Arrogant and overbearing. 188. The council needs to increase their floral arrangements and provide a water feature. Keep pavements free of chairs and tables, what about the blind? 189. I disagree with pedestrianisation. 190. No consideration for residents outside the town walls, and how it affects us like our car parking. 191. It is extremely inconvenient for people needing to carry out work within the pedestrianisation area. 192. We use the local bus service much more. 193. It can be confusing to tourists who are used to not have to think about traffic during the day to switch on to aware state later in the day. 194. Unnecessary. we would prefer unrestricted access and we would like to see more parking spaces available within the town walls. 195. Tenby is appealing in its disregard of traffic laws and in particular with parking. Much stricter enforcements and more traffic wardens are needed. Also not one rule for one and one for another. 196. Listen and take notice of the opinions of residents and traders within the town walls. 197. Poor consultation before it was introduced. 198. No I think it is ok. 199. The parking regulations are simply not enforced. Locals are the prime offenders. Regular ticketing over a sustained period is needed to change the culture. 200. In previous years PCC produced a brochure giving details of times and routes of buses, I didn’t see one this year. 201. Just to make sure that there is a through route for the emergency services in the town walls. 202. Gas/ electrical/ plumbing emergencies must be treated as an exception. Tradesmen being denied access (as reported in the press) or being fined is obviously going to upset residents. Other work, stick to the time table or get it done between October and June. 203. Pedestrianisation scheme is a huge inconvenience to local people. 204. Extend to or from 1st June to September 30th. 205. Keep it as it is now. 206. Pedestrianisation is a huge hindrance to me as I live just outside the town walls and by the time I come home from work there are no parking spaces left and the scheme is running so I can not drive around easily. 207. Introduce half hour parking for shoppers through the town where it is safe to do so particularly in winter during bad weather. 208. These questionnaires should be for walled town occupiers only as they are the most affected by the traffic scheme. 209. All deliveries had to be done before 11am creating absolute hell between 9am and 11am, no police or traffic wardens ever present despite dangers. 210. If you could widen some of the pavements, lorries and vans would not have to come into the High street and a form of trolley could be used. 211. Further parking facilities need to be implemented as, for example, shopping at Somerfield is often impossible at high season when the car park is full. 212. Access of vehicles to boat owners with moorings in Tenby harbour to be improved. It is not possible to carry items necessary to use their boats. 213. To allow access to taxis, tradesmen and businesses would be to guarantee abuse of any access rights they were given. 214. Improve car parking facilities, more parking spaces as multi story car park fills up quickly, and there is a larger number of spaces taken up by residents. 215. September is always good weather you need to extend through it will extend the season for Tenby business. You need more publicity to promote and advertising campaigns. Tenby is unique and could compete with the best. 216. Enforce the signs prohibiting traffic (which seems to be permanent, but not in effect). Clearly those residents in the area need access. 217. None. 218. No parking within the town walls apart from for residents, and holiday lets. 219. 5pm is too early, this is often the time when people come off the beach for tea. Extend the hours, but allow access for residents. 220. If you made one way traffic during the holiday period you would reduce the congestion, or make park and ride somewhere accessible around Tenby. 221. Stop drivers parking at designated park and ride drop off and pick up points. 222. Lots of tables and chairs. 223. Although quite a good idea, some restrictions were not good. It is hard to judge how many times families need to travel!! Some families might not travel in and out at all. 224. One of my flats has a Mother in her mid 80's who lives on Crackwell street, so someone may need to take Mother for medical reasons at anytime. 225. Keep up the good work. 226. As a resident within the walls I object to restrictions of my rights of access for two months of the year. 227. The problems with congestion in Tenby all arises from the lack of enforced regulations. A new traffic system should be introduced and listened to, especially between may and September. Proposal follows. 228. Much congestion walking between the tables and chairs, especially for people using walking aids. 229. As a life time resident of Tenby, the only street in the town that needs restrictions is the high street, and the so called enhancement of widening the footpaths in the high street is extremely dangerous. 230. I believe that it is an infringement on human rights to restrict entry to your own residence. However it works well for visitors to the town who are not staying in the harbour where we live, or anywhere else in the centre. 231. There seems that notification to visitors approaching Tenby of the scheme, they have often turned around at WH Smith. 232. Present scheme restricts the freedom of all residents particularly the elderly and disabled from access for six hours per day. It also restricts visits from family and friends, it makes the elderly and disabled virtual prisoners. 233. Lack of consideration of residents needs. 234. Every question is leading, not prepared to listen to residents views. 235. Could you please have some delegation face to face with residents within the walled town. 236. Church street could have at least light traffic flow. Permanently pedestrianise Upper Frog Street. 237. Do not agree with pedestrianisation scheme but if no choice then you must allow unrestricted access to residents and businesses in and out of the town. 238. One point must be made. Cyclists cycling through the crowds of pedestrians. There should be no cycling just push the bike. Some one is going to be injured or even killed. 239. Lost work as couriers were unable to deliver. Last week as couriers were unable to collect. Visitors stopped calling. Consultation with residents effected by very poor approach to this community within walls . 240. Very discriminative to residents without off road parking. 241. Make it consistent rather than depending on the whim of the person on the switch board. Treat all residents fairly instead of making concessions for only those with off road parking (or people with moorings who don’t live in the town). 242. Residents that live within the walled town have very little influence and TWTRA is not listened to despite the questionnaire and TWTRA views. 243. This was not an experiment, it was identical to 2004. The order was misused as a convenient way of pedestrianisation when the permanent order could not be used. 244. Would value temporary permits to allow our tenants to load and unload luggage on change over days and cleaning staff full access on the same day. 245. I believe it is as good as you get. 246. We are a residential care home and need normal daily access for any related vehicle like social workers, visits, ambulances, taxis and drivers. 247. Cyclist should be stopped in the pedestrianisation zone. Mounted bicycles are very dangerous in the crowded streets and on the pavements. 248. A problem seems to arise if vehicles are within town walls prior to 11.00am. They do not seem to understand that they have to be out by 11.00am especially disabled badge holders. Signage not good enough. 249. Deliveries of goods to shops etc., should be completed before 9.00 am. Enforce parking restrictions on double yellow lines. 250. Taxis should be kept out as they force their way through pedestrians. 251. It is a good idea for this town. 252. More signs with the times in the town walls. 253. Nil 254. Effective way of managing visitor numbers - would be even more congested mixing traffic and holiday (left the brain at home) visitors. 255. Insufficient parking. Should make Tenby Pedestrianisation everyday as with other towns. Parking needs to be created. 256. It was pleasant to walk around the town without watching out for traffic. 257. Allow a variety of street entertainers in varying locations within the town walls every day. 258. You should think more about the people who have to live in the town. 259. If we had as many traffic wardens to impose current regulations as we have for pedestrianisation then there would not be an access problem. Need better signage to advise that town is a no through road. 260. Residents, carers, holiday maker arriving should be able to drive into town. 261. Tenby still has a lot of visitors in September and we feel the pedestrianisation should be extended for a further two weeks. 262. Difficulty of access for certain priority residents. Difficulty of loading/unloading/deliveries. If town access only, yellow lines observed, very little traffic problem anyway. 263. My family and I use the shops and cafes more in town when pedestrianisation is in use and spend more money in town and enjoy the freedom to walk through town with no cars and traffic. We enjoy the freedom of pedestrianisation. 264. All Tenby needs is enforcement of parking restrictions. Pedestrianisation as is only benefits pubs/restaurants. Cafe culture is not something the Welsh/British seem able to create. They drink too much. 265. There should be a free regular park and ride from New Hedges from May-Sept inclusive. The present so called Park & Ride causes huge queues in Narberth Road, Maudlins Dees Park etc and grid lock on town roads. 266. Tenby looks untidy and dirty during the summer months. Lets get back to basics:- no skips, no scaffolding and daily street washing. 267. Inadequate provision of parking outside walled town. Multi-storey often full. Bays are too narrow for most modern vehicles. 268. Signage and bollards look poor. Why spend money on town improvement and then make it look so poor during peak holiday period? 269. I tried to visit the town centre but I was unable to park because all areas were allocated to residents' parking. I switched my shopping to Pembroke Dock. 270. Should be a better form of taxi ranks. 271. Where is box for no vehicular access? Please include on next opinion poll as this omission makes a farce of this poll. 272. These temporary orders have been a disgrace. 273. Pembrokeshire Council must address the problem with a new road system. The centre of Tenby must not be allowed to become a haven for yobs. 274. Stop illegal parking outside the town walls to make the rest of the town congestion free. People seem to park wherever they wish. 275. Parking for residents who live just outside the walls was very poor. There tended to be less areas for residents to park especially those who don’t have parking permits. 276. This scheme has changed the atmosphere within the town. Visitors can relax as they stroll with their families which creates 277. Enforce the access only regs and the restrictions on HGV before 11.00 am. 278. Business must not be restricted from going in and out of the town. Without them there would be nothing to come to Tenby for. 279. We go through this procedure every year. It is as if you keep asking the same question until you get the right answer. 280. Access should be restricted at all times. Too many people just drive into town for no reason. This includes locals who drive to the harbour when they live less than 5 minutes away. 281. I would like to see a greater control of the amount of alcohol sold during the day to customers who drink outside in public. 282. Keep access for business as now. Don’t increase police entrance to town via Arch near Imperial Hotel these cars go on when they should not so do. 283. The current system is totally unyielding. I have written to and phoned PCC in the past to explain the great difficulties it creates for the severely mobility impaired. Parking outside the walls makes it physically impossible to walk to/from shops. Many local people are therefore excluded from Tenby. 284. The pedestrianisation scheme of visiting Tenby in general is adversely affected by the residents permit parking scheme. Large areas of good parking spaces are empty all day as residents are away all day in their cars. That should be limited to 6.00 p.m. - 8.00 am. 285. Lorries should not be allowed in at any time after 9.00 am. More buses are needed at busy times especially from Butts Field. Often people are so tired of waiting they get on at Smiths travel to the harbour - stay on the bus to get back to Butts Field leaving those at the harbour to wait even longer. 286. Just that it should extend for the whole holiday season. 287. You are never going to please everyone but pleasing some would be a target. 288. Disabled body persons should have access, also ambulance, fire and police only. 289. I do think that people who live within the town walls, ambulances, doctors and people who own businesses (including delivery lorries) should have access throughout the whole day. 290. Please continue your efforts for the benefit of all. APPENDIX SIX QUESTION: We would be pleased to welcome your comments on alternative approaches to reducing congestion, improving safety and enhancing the environment in the town during the busy summer months: 1. Please consider widening scope of residents parking scheme. As a two car household, being restricted to one permit per household is unhelpful; particularly as the residents parking areas in my locality are rarely fully utilised. 2. Park and Ride from New Hedges Area, for visitors mono rail, from North Car Park, or moving pavement ie airport type. 3. Consider preventing vehicular access into town centre except by permit/authorisation. Reduce speed limits to 10mph. 4. Park and Ride from New Hedges roundabout. 5. Congestion takes place before 11 am with delivery to shops etc. Maybe some traffic control system or even a one way system would help from 9am - 11am. 6. Better unloading areas at North Beach Car Park for businesses. 7. Start 10.00 am finish 6.00 pm. 8. Disallow any parking in High Street and Tudor Square, reduce queuing taxis - electronic preprocessing. 9. Leave it alone and it will find its own level. Instead of interfering and making matters worse. 10. There is an urgent need to enhance Tudor Square during most of the year 85% of the square is surrendered to traffic 11. Take up the cobbled stones/roads which Tenby never had they are dangerous. Involve more people in cleaning/streets/bins/dog mess. 12. Keep park and ride on for September as it was very busy for arts festival and nowhere to park as it is too far to walk from Butts Field 13. Park Road is a nightmare. If it is not congested it is used as a speed track. Multi-storey car park should be built at Butts Field car park (good main road access) more park and ride needed. 14. Residents should be allowed access to homes/vehicles its a total infringement on your life/liberty. Pubs shouldn't be allowed outdoor tables. chairs - the 3 mariners etc should be contained within walls its unsightly threatening and not child friendly 15. 1. Introduce pedestrianisation permanently between hours 1000 to 1800. 2. If current scheme remains increase no of traffic wardens to ensure no illegal parking. 16. With no tables and chairs in streets folk would be on the beach or would not come. Only of benefit to cafe and pub owners. 17. Presently traffic parking restrictions don't seem to be enforced strictly enough. 18. The croft should be one way with bus via butts field. Seats and promenade with lift to beach. 19. Enforce parking regulations. Stop cars parking double yellow lines. Stop double or treble parking of cars in Tudor Square. 20. More zebra crossings by war memorial 21. Strict adherence to laws on parking outside the walls would be helpful 22. Deliveries to shops before 9am and after 6pm 23. If you are to reduce congestion then the scheme works however, the need to supply more short time parking bays is needed. Also if traffic wardens are employed they should do their job properly not book non local plates. 24. Step double parking 25. All deliveries before 8.30 am - all year round works well elsewhere (ie parts of France) 26. County Council should employ full time traffic wardens for Tenby they would be safe financially 27. enforce existing parking restrictions stop vehicles parking on pavements 28. More publicity given to rail services in Tenby 29. Preferably all deliveries to the walled town should be off-loaded at a depot such as at the Salterns and then taken into town in transit sized vans to avoid congestion and damage to roads, cellars etc caused by heavy vehicles. 30. You are going to do just what you want, it does not matter that people with disabilities are held in/out of the town. 31. You could reduce 75% of traffic in the town by making it clear there is not through access nearly all visitors can drive to the harbour find they can go no further then battle against the next lot coming through the town to find they can't go anywhere. 32. I've always considered for some time that access should be unrestricted to residents and businesses but that all other traffic should be excluded and that enforcement should be rigorous. 33. There should be more done to encourage cyclists and make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians ie cycle lane (temporary) somewhere to lock your bikes up. 34. Provide more parking 35. Impossible. You can't limit holiday makers it's the same abroad in popular places. 36. At the busiest times some way needs to be found to prevent unnecessary car journeys up Greenhill Road into town they just drive round and out again. 37. More park and ride is essential. If present parking regulations were fully enforced at all times, including evenings and weekends these costs would be offset by costs for pedestrianisation (town residents - not inconvenienced) better signage at Gatehouse corner to prevent visitors inadvertently sight seeing the town and finding there is no exit. 38. Tenby is no busier than any other town and does not need pedestrianisation 39. The only way is to stop parking on double yellow lines from the Lion Corner down to the harbour make a zero tolerance zone. Make the traffic wardens earn their pay. Why paint double yellow lines (no one takes any notice of them) 40. Ban taxis from the town. Reduce speed limits to 20mph 41. Enforce the nor parking rule outside the market in the High Street this is the biggest cause of congestion in the High Street usually by the same offenders. 42. Park and ride from New Hedges calling at each caravan park eg Broadfield, Saundersfoot Bay Wood Park, Well Park, Rourston, Lodge Farm. 43. Illegal parking particularly on the green reducing incoming traffic to one way. 44. Take the multi storey car park out of town to the Butts Field, make Narberth Road main road to car park permanent 12 months park and ride. 45. Residents living in the restricted areas should be allocated with car park bays - or at least the change to reserve one. 46. I believe there are parking spaces reserved for taxis within the multi storey car park these are generally unused as there are taxi parking sports outside. They should be freed up for the public. 47. Some control of the amount of space taken by some traders 48. Prevention of non-local cars from parking within the town (not just the walled section) all visitors should use the park and ride facilities but these may have to be improved. 49. Welsh/English signage is confusing not enough time to read - English first! 50. Make it one way 51. If Tenby's yellow line restrictions were correctly enforced, there would be little need for pedestrianisation as only residents cars would be allowed. 52. More attention must be paid to elderly and sick either needing to get in and out and to be accessed in their home by any other person. 53. Allow full access to the Harbour via Crackwell Street use traffic lights top and bottom, this scheme stop access to a working commercial harbour. 54. Increase pavements in Tudor Square all year round. 55. Traffic lights at candy corner and lights at lower end of harbour - to enable one way [at limited timed] easy access to harbour residents. 56. 10 MPH speed limit in walled town all year round. 57. Safety - speed cameras for Marsh Road and For Lower Park Road. Congestion - remove some streets of double yellow lines, unfair that resident parking is not allowed. 58. Why don't you put lights on the back hill and allow traffic up and down back hill for the harbour to operate. 59. Limit delivery access to early mornings 60. Restrict traffic to residents only (not holiday makers) and a slow speed limit. 61. Make a rule all holiday visitors park and ride as they only walk around the town or go to the beach thus letting tradespeople go about their business. 62. Operate park and ride from further out ie New Hedges Kiln Park St.Florence Lysdstep 63. Ensure that the traffic wardens and police carry out their jobs more rigorously and treat all drivers the same no preferential treatment should be shown to anyone. 64. People who live in Tenby should be allowed access at all times to their homes. Have a barrier with a swipe card for entry. Speed limit 5mph within walled town. Those who do not live within walls have no entry except for special reasons. 65. It would be good to see Tudor square pavements widened with trees and seating areas developed. The square looks 'odd' with seating areas for restaurants at the bottom end of the area and nothing around the church! Too much blockage by seating areas outside the lifeboat. 66. Perhaps a temporary traffic light system between St.Mary's church and WH Smith would aid congestion between 8.30am and 11am. 67. Stricter enforcement of parking regulation over 24 hours. 68. resident's parking and pedestrianisation have both improved the safety. 69. Put parking tickets on cars as they do in other places - including cars owned by local people that are currently invisible to police/traffic wardens. 70. I personally feel there could be a single lane one-way route through high street, Tudor square, St Julian Street, Crackwell St (with other streets feeding into it) during peak hours. This would provide fairer access. The park and ride could then start in Tudor square. 71. Pedestrianisation is the best option, providing that for once the residents were not the last to be considered. 72. There is one black spot - crossing from the parade towards the war memorial, traffic coming from both ways, but where else could they go to get out of town. 73. Stop the pubs from sprawling out onto the street and the cafes and I will happily support the pedestrianisation. 74. I think there should be a strict enforcement of traffic regulations and more encouragement for visitors to park outside the main area. Perhaps visitors should pay a congestion charge as in London. 75. Allow access on Saturdays for guests staying in Tenby. This is the major swap - over day. Please, guests are seriously being put off Tenby because of this. 76. Access on Saturdays for change over for holiday makers, they don't like carrying stuff on buses and across from the car park. 77. Many more cars following the buses this year down Crackwell Street and then going up Julian Street very dangerous for pedestrians. 78. Allowing free movement of traffic 79. Better management of parking. 80. Single flow, one-way traffic, under pavements with pull in bays for 10 to 15 minutes max. 81. Remove all commercial activity from Tenby town centre to New Hedges! Close the town for use by visitors only. 82. Discontinue pedestrianisation. 83. Parking on the green, free or cheaply and then a tram into town would be great. I know that I and all my friends and family would use it. 84. Leave well alone there will not be any busy summer season if it continues! 85. Traffic regulations and parking restrictions should be adhered to. The police seem to ignore many violations particularly by locals. 86. The improvement of serpentine road and Haywood lane would send traffic away from the green which is a pain in the summer. 87. Redirect one way up park road so you pass car parks before going along parade. It will reduce build ups at roundabout on the green because cars would be going into Salterns car park before heading into town. 88. More out of town car parking spaces, better bus service, more frequent buses into the town. 89. Extend the pedestrianisation to June to September and enhanced cleaning, and discourage eating and drinking on the move. 90. Further reduce the number of cars and delivery vehicles which seem to have access to the square. Prosecute people who deliberately litter the beaches or town especially with bottles. 91. The day after the experiment finished the town was full of illegally parked cars. Stricter control needed in Tudor square. Maybe one way system at all times. 92. Stop people parking! Double Parking! W. H. Smith down to the Lamb Inn should have Double Red Lines, no stopping or parking. 93. Its simple, Just fine drivers for parking on double yellow lines and strictly no parking for the whole length of the high street, Deliveries only, Contract a private traffic firm to enforce the rules, Consult other councils in the UK. 94. Suggest that two approaches be considered (1) More robust and consistent approach to parking contravention (more wardens) (2) A more co-ordinated strategy for deliveries and utilities (use of permits- so some delivers one day others on another) but warden needed to enforce this. Also allow limited access for taxis with authorisation granted for specified trips. 95. Provide additional parking for reasons stated in 12a. 96. See above: Congestion charge for non resident/business all year. Strict traffic control for all except residents. It is too difficult to stay in Tenby due to pedestrianisation. We have spent very little time at our holiday home this year. We usually spend the whole summer here. 97. Enforce rigorously all existing regulations, all year around, do not abandon us during the winter months. 98. If parking restrictions were enforced more than twice a month in some places. Certainly not enough in St Marys street, the problems of traffic congestion would be eased. 99. More visible (happy) town guides to help newcomers with enquiries, Where is the Loo? 100. My earlier comments on "Cafe Culture" would enhance the environment. I have had many visitors staying with me who thought Tenby was going "down hill" and was "dirty" not in the least like it used to be. Just put the responsibility of making the town attractive again on the cafes and restaurants who do not clear their tables when the customer has left. 101. No Parking 102. Restrict parking in the square to 20 minutes for the whole year. Do we still have traffic wardens? 103. What is happening now appears to be satisfactory, more hours to the scheme daily. 104. The length of road between the Gatehouse and the top of Crackwell street should be open but no parking be strictly enforced and a system of traffic lights be installed to allow access to the harbour. A warden to be in place during the hours of pedestrianisation to ensure only residents with permits or cars with boats pass. 105. Allow people to drive into town walls, but with better directions before entering town. Stop all parking , High Street, Square, Frog Street. 106. Restriction of lorries in similar hours and large vans 107. Larger towns cope. Tenby must wake up to the 21st century 108. Reduce number of double yellow lines and then enforce. 109. restrict delivery vehicles. give delivery times or use smaller vehicles for deliveries-central drop off 110. precinct all year round. pedestrian shopping 111. strictly residents essential business only during those hours, priority to pedestrians no parking on roadside 10-15 mph speed limit 112. no parking in town during pedestrianisation. 113. employ traffic wardens and strictly enforce current regulations 114. ban large lorries have a drop off depot on edge of town. Have a single lane one way system going from floral corner in high street through Tudor square 115. it think the pedestrianisation is as good as I can suggest 116. Impose a limit to the rise of vehicles allowed to enter. Even for small vehicles impose a time limit for entry. Impose a speed limit throughout the year of 15 mph. 117. Get rid of the residents only parking scheme as it would free up places for visitors, and those who work in Tenby. Parking is an on-going problem (outside the town walls). 118. Much more traffic wardens, People seem to think that they can park anyway, Multi story car park is very close. Enforcements and fixed penalties should become endorsed. 119. Stricter enforcements on parking. Suggest traffic lights at peak times through the street. 120. Knock down the multi storey car park and make a secure, clean NCP type car park (wider and maybe a level higher). 121. My husband is a wheelchair user and it was lovely to go into town and wheel him without looking out for traffic. 122. Make a one way system on approach to the town centre eg Under railway bridge, up Greenhill road into town, but not allowing right turns into Greenhill avenue. Leaving town, down Warren Street, turning right along Greenhill Avenue and left to leave the area or in reverse. Either way traffic would flow more easily. 123. One way system with speed limit. 124. There are too many holiday makers, the place has got really common. 125. Bigger signs no through road as vehicles go to the harbour and have to turn around, or maybe traffic lights from WH Smiths to Woolworths-only parking in town. 126. The car parks are well used, we need more of them. 127. There are a lot of elderly people in Tenby, and a lot are using motorised wheelchairs. A brochure should be issued telling people what alternative transport can be used to get into the centre of the town before people come to Tenby. ie Coast to coast. 128. Increase the number of traffic wardens to stop illegal parking at all times during the year, and build another multi storey car park in a tasteful and decorative way unlike the present eyesore. Re-vamp current one to be higher and to store more cars. 129. More car parking facilities out of town to encourage park and ride scheme. Get a warden if possible in car parks at New hedges, even if it is temporary. Greater enforcement of illegally parked cars, in particular along the croft and North cliff where yellow lines are ignored. 130. Advertise well in advance to holiday season so that holiday makers from away are aware of the scheme. 131. On the presumption that traffic congestion in the streets of the town could be eased by increasing car parking facilities, a multi storey car park at the Salterns maybe? 132. Cyclists should be totally banned during pedestrianisation, another accident waiting to happen. More serious that the above. 133. Stop HGV from 11am till 4pm. 134. More police and traffic wardens 135. Leave it like it is. 136. None. 137. Better signage to main car parks and indication of spare spaces available. Better signage at the car parks about where town centre/banks are. 138. This year was better when the council workers were allowed to empty the bins. Over flowing bins and litter are unsightly and spoil the atmosphere the pedestrianisation creates. Strict enforcement of traffic regulations are desperately needed out of pedestrianisation hours. 139. The town needs to marketed differently. It used to be family orientated. We need to lose the hen/stag party image. 140. Enforcing existing parking regulations, and hours of access for goods lorries would help. 141. Clean up the multi story car park. It really is a disgrace. 142. Yellow lines are an absolute waste of time. The so called wardens here are useless, if you can find them. 143. Stronger implimentation of where and where not to park. Attention to people that are doing their shopping and parking by the front entrance to Somerfield. 144. More signs to say the road to the harbour simply goes there with no parking facilities. 145. A one way system. 146. One way system. 147. The environment of Tenby during this period is all to do with the summer season, and it will always be busy. 148. Supply short stay parking bays in the high street. Monitor these bays strictly. Supply decent parking for cars. Multi storey is unkept, bays are too narrow huge delivery lorries should unload at North beach car park and smaller vans should deliver to the shops. 149. All delivery vehicles to the local pubs and shops should be made before pedestrianisation time comes into force, and this should be enforced. 150. Traffic warden needed in Tudor square between 9am and 11am. 151. Multi story car park outside the town - gas lane or on the green? 152. Lorries stopped from entering the town at all times. Set up a proper collection point outside of the town. Multi story car park at Butts field. 153. What is needed is for the law to be used regarding parking on double yellow lines in Tenby all year around. It is completely ignored. 154. Traffic wardens very visible in the town betweens 11am and 5pm why is this?? We do not seem to see them at other times particularly 8am to 11am when all deliveries have to take place, why?? 155. More out of town park and rides. All levels of the multi story car park should be free. 156. Stop the traders within the five Arches. They are blocking access from the parade through too St George street and making it difficult for disabled people as well as the abled. 157. I think signage should be placed further out of town as a lot of visitors still come in unaware and this slows traffic down in areas that are not restricted. 158. Reduce the number of lorries and vans delivering small quantities of goods to shops. I counted nine lorries and vans in Tudor square in one morning whilst I was in town. 159. Employ traffic wardens that are not local, then maybe locals would get tickets as, and not get away with it because they know the wardens. 160. Continue to Improve the pedestrianisation, and answer the critics with facts eg pedestrianisation increases business turnover in traditional resorts. The bicycle paramedic is used in Norwich why not Tenby? 161. Further park and ride facilities on the out skirts of town. 162. Direct traffic for North beach along Narberth road, and other beaches as required. 163. Access to Tenby beaches from the cliff top roads should be provided for those of the age 40 plus. Cliff top day lifts similar to resorts like Scarborough should be installed. This would have the effect of reducing pedestrian congestion. 164. Make access via Crackwell street open with traffic lights. Allow access through Frog street, St Marys and Creswell street via Bellmount Arch. 165. What congestion, its only the summer months, the rest of the year the streets wouldn’t raise a second look. 166. Very difficult questions. 167. You should not let people ride peddle bikes through the town. 168. You should not allow people to ride bikes through the town. 169. Make south Parradog two way road again to take the traffic from Park Road. 170. Stricter with double yellow line parkers. 171. More out of town parking plus park and ride. 172. Keep the speed down to 5mph, motorists then have a choice. 173. Let locals use town, as we are here all year round. Less disabled spaces, they park anywhere anyway, give them parking tickets. 174. Try to divert holiday makers from entering the town other than to unload luggage, and still allow access for people working inside the town only. 175. You could have a car park in the council fields above the Bells corner, and have a park and ride from there. 176. Enforce traffic regulations throughout the town. 177. Stop shopkeepers blocking the way with their tacky products. 178. Total implementation of double yellow lines by a small group of traffic wardens, not just one or two. 179. Five arches should be re-opened. 180. I suggest restricting access to the walled town to vehicles requiring access to off street parking or to load and unload goods or luggage, and designating the parking area by the five arches as a short term parking area. This is so people picking up and dropping off keys to holiday properties at estate agents within the walled town wont have to drive in. 181. Producing better car park facilities. The multi story car park is not big enough to provide proper parking and is very tight to maneuver your car around. 182. Stricter control of parking, too many cars parked on yellow lines. 183. A good one way traffic system with wider pavements to enable proper pedestrian flow, it would also allow free/controlled traffic flow and encourage a proper cafe culture. See enclosure. 184. 10 mph speed limit inside restricted area. 185. Allow permit holders to transfer to one other vehicle, this would release a parking space for others and be less of a headache for residents. 186. A strict enforcement of parking regulations is needed outside the pedestrianisation period. 187. More street entertainment extended to pm opening of shops, bouncers less visible to tourists (they appear intimidating.) Forbid hard sale charity subscribers harassing holiday makers. 188. We would prefer to see a return to the previously unrestricted approach to avoid the frenzied rush hours which currently occur at the beginning and end of the day when deliveries jam the town. 189. Create and police properly more restricted time and limited time parking in certain areas of the town, and re-open the five arches as an exit for traffic from the town. 190. Enforce the current traffic regulations. Have a traffic warden on all day. Put a tunnel at the Salterns to give access to South Beach. Have an exit on the far side of the Rectory car park. Only have licensed local street traders. 191. Tenby is Tenby, you will always have a problem I am sorry to say. 192. Enforce the law of the land. 193. Make sure that the highway code is practiced strictly. Double yellow lines means no waiting, no parking at any time. day or night. In town walls and out of town walls. 194. Open a pedestrian access (bridle/crossing) over the railway from Sultans CP. Extend Saltern's CP into Kiln parks camping field. This could be for beach users, thus freeing up spaces in Tenby’s CP for town access. 195. Enforce zero tolerance on illegal parking in and around the town. 196. Issue more parking tickets to illegal parkers. 197. In certain cases (eg emergencies or for people with mobility problems) taxi firms or perhaps 2 designated firms could have permission to move within the town walls. Permits payable on request? 198. Enforce a way that tourists only use the car parks and the park and ride scheme on the outside of town giving residents a chance to park near their homes where they live. 199. Introduce half hour parking through the town where safe to do so before and after pedestrianisation times. 200. Stricter enforcement of current traffic regulations, all year around would lessen the need for pedestrianisation. 201. Rigidly enforce parking restrictions ie Abolish long term parking on double yellow lines, need a shoppers car park. 202. Encourage motorists to cycle and walk. 203. Open and operate further park and ride schemes based at the New Hedges roundabout, Lydstep, Kiln park or Penally. 204. Is it possible to use traffic lights to control traffic flow using Crackwell Street, Thus improving access to Tenby harbour and harbour area. 205. Ban taxes from the town centre completely, and delivery vans after 9 am. 206. Making the South Parade two way again, thus reducing amount of traffic exiting via park road. 207. Illegal parking in Tenby! Zero tolerance with all vehicles within the town walls. 208. Shut off the town to large lorries after 8 am. 209. Strict rules on slowing car speed and giving way to pedestrians, but there must be an alternative for the elderly and disabled such as listed taxis for people with mobility problems. 210. Build three story car park with park and ride and strictly enforce parking regulations. 211. The setting up of a better out of town park and ride ie at New Hedges to restrict town traffic. 212. No traffic during bank holidays. 213. Have all heavy lorries off load out of town, and have a small truck carrying goods to the shops. 214. Locals should be issued with permits for vehicles, and should really get more help for access to Bukes and chemists, especially senior citizens. Remember that we live here. 215. Uncontrolled parking of privet vehicles in the High Street mostly by fit and healthy drivers, especially between Smiths and White Lion. 216. Have park and ride facilities outside the town like in New Hedges for example, or Penally and keep traffic further from the whole town itself. 217. More traffic wardens stopping parking in restricted areas ie outside Somerfields and in the bus stop on the Parade. 218. If the police put in the hours that they devote to the scheme, in the ordinary course of duty there would be no congestion. 219. People who live in Tenby should be allowed to their homes. Have a barrier with a swipe card and a speed limit a 5mph within the walled town. Those who do not live in the walled town have no entry right except for important reasons. 220. Highlight access only notices. 221. A partial restriction on heavy delivery lorries, and more refuse bins around the town. 222. More warning for visitors of the scheme and more access for residents with parking, everyone happy. 223. Access to walled town for residents and businesses only. Extension of park and ride scheme. All who need access should have permits controlled by PCC. 224. Residential access only. Implement existing traffic regulations, more traffic wardens on duty. 225. Stop pubs and restaurants on narrow pavements blocking access with flower pots and tables and chairs. 226. The pedestrianisation scheme causes chaos before 11am as the main street is grid locked with deliveries, look into a one way system. 227. Apart from the important point in question 9 everything is going well. 228. Enforce the current regulations. Enforce double yellow lines all year. Make a tunnel from Salterns car park to South Beach. Patrol before 11am and after 5 pm. Install bike stands. 229. Enforce access only. 230. Safety is not an issue. I believe there has been one RTA in the walled town in 20 years previous to pedestrianisation, so this is a red herring. Enforce parking restrictions properly. Make it clear to visitors that there is no through road and no parking anywhere in the town (the harbour car park is so small it should be left off maps and pay and display for harbour users and residents only). 231. Enforce existing traffic regulation, no parking on double yellow lines. 232. Experiment with traffic management to reduce the number of vehicles entering the town. 233. Research other models of traffic control used in other tourist areas of the UK. Perhaps a badge scheme / swipe cards / Passes. 234. Pedestrianise Tudor Square only, no tourist traffic in town, all directed to multi story car parks. Residents and trade vehicle access only. Should be much better sign posted. 235. Park & Ride extended to public transport e.g. train station. 236. Whatever happened to the policemen on bicycles? Police officers on mountain bikes would solve many of the traffic problems and enforce the law in the streets and beaches of the resort. Whatever happened to the security cameras? Properly manned cameras would reduce vandalism, speeding and illegal parking. 237. Make sure that there is no parking on double yellow lines, The Green, The Maudlin, Trafalgar Road, Park Road and Marsh Road - these areas block the flow of traffic. 238. One way system. White Lion Corner, High Street, St George Street, exiting via Frog Street. Better still re-open Five Arches as exit. 239. Deliveries of goods to shops etc., should be completed before 9.00 am. Enforce parking restrictions on double yellow lines. 240. Any vehicles and people sharing the roads are a recipe for problems especially when furniture is on the pavements - vehicles should be made to put on main beam lights and hazard lights and restricted to walking pace. Deaf people cannot hear cars! 241. I feel very strongly that the park and ride should begin from New Hedges in some way. The road into Tenby is so congested in the summer, as is the South Parade - by cars going to the Summer Car Park. 242. Cannot think of any further improvements that can be made to reduce congestion etc., inside the town alls at high season. 243. Not traffic related but some buildings on approaches to walled town could do with some T.L.C. from their owners. 244. Redevelop car parking by Somerfield. Multi-storey - South car park. Nobody wants to walk from North car park. 245. More local bus/train services at reduced cost to locals. This would cut down on car trips to Tenby. 246. Allow a variety of street entertainers in varying locations within the town walls every day. 247. As above but especially better signs to stop holiday traffic unnecessarily coming into town. 248. Enforce access only and restricted parking. More traffic wardens. Instant penalties for ignoring double yellows etc. 249. Enforcement of the rules should be stricter. 250. There should be a free regular park and ride from New Hedges from May-Sept inclusive. The present so called Park & Ride causes huge queues in Narberth Road, Maudlins Dees Park etc and grid lock on town roads. Park & Ride should encourage people well away from town when the Cottage Hospital is up and running The Butts car park will be even worse. 251. Remove resident parking restrictions outside walls during same hours (11-5) most of which are empty whilst locals in work. 252. Wheelchair hire available for disabled drivers i.e. battery operated for visitors. 253. Town boundary park and ride for visitors. Improve pedestrian/cycle access from Kiln Park. Introduce traffic calming to encourage less aggressive driving by taxi drivers. 254. No traffic at all. 255. You need far better signage with electronic "spaces available" in car parks. More consistent enforcement of the Law. 256. Rising bollards worked by credit card type stripes and issued to all locals. 257. A new road system through Butts Field along the north wall then up Crackwell Street one way of course and only for cars/vans etc. 258. More traffic wardens covering a larger area. 259. As a non-driver I regret that I have no helpful comments to offer. 260. Improve signposts for parking. Reduce space for residents parking and increase space available for visitors e.g. Harries Street, Church Park, (even though this would reduce any availability of residents parking to me). 261. Ban visitors cars from town centres, enforce traffic regulations against all residents. Restrict speed limit. 262. Have more out of town parking with regular park and ride facilities. 263. Emptying of bins more often throughout the day and every evening. 264. More spaces in the multi-storey should be made available to locals working and different times. Not everyone starts work at 9.00 am. After this time you cannot get parked. 265. All heavy good vehicles should be banned between 10.00 am - 5.00 pm every day. 266. More police, traffic wardens on streets. Enforce parking restrictions and deal with yobbish behaviour. 267. Ensure that large lorries supplying trader particularly pubs come early in the morning and leave before 8.30 am to 9.00 am thus helping congestion from 10.00 to 11.00 am. 268. Allow holders of blue badges access to the shopping area. By definition the blue badge signifies severe mobility impairment. 269. Coaches should e encouraged to drop and collect passengers at the bus station to relieve congestion on the buses. Park and ride should begin at 9.00 am even if only a few use them. This keeps local cars out of multi storey car park. 270. Need to keep hen/stag parties out of Tenby and would keep bouncers on pubs in Tudor Square etc as now also would like to see a greater police presence on foot at weekends. 271. Enforce the current parking laws. The traffic wardens are a joke. 272. It would be nice to consider a environmental friendly scheme. 273. Day trip coaches should not be allowed to drop off and pick up on the Parade. They should be made to go to the North Beach car coach park where park and ride is available! 274. People who live within the town walls should have a permit which allows them to drive through the town as normal. People who live on the outside of the town walls and anyone visiting should be allowed no access other than people listed above. 275. Would you investigate the possibility of providing an alternative exit from the town perhaps via an extension of South Cliff parade road through the car park and eventually through the Salterns car park and onwards. 276. Perhaps traffic wardens dealing with double yellow line parking. APPENDIX SEVEN QUESTION: Overall, how has the pedestrian experiment affected your household? What were the main positive aspects? 1.

APPENDIX EIGHT QUESTION: What were the main negative aspects? 1. None. 2. Access to boat and boat use in harbour is already restricted by tide. Overlay restricted times of access due to pedestrianisation exacerbates the problem. Hardly encourages boat related leisure and tourism. 3. Pedestrianisation encourages people to walk in streets and this can occasionally cause a problem at end of day, when traffic appears without warning. 4. None. 5. The traffic that still managed to get into town. 6. Shopping elsewhere 7. Hard to find parking space outside town walls. Multi Storey always full and residents permit spaces empty!!. 8. People decided it was too difficult to park and vowed not to come back to Tenby. 9. Sour grapes from harbour residence. 10. Not having designated nearby parking for this household in St Julian Street, Terrible for finding parking. Feeling of paying price for visitors 11. Having to appeal to the court of human rights 12. None 13. None 14. The closure of Crackwell Street to Park and Ride during the summer spectacular. Elderly people could not get down to the harbour area or were unable to leave. 15. I believe the negative aspects were for businesses in the town and residents inside the town walls, for them in some cases being denied vehicle access did cause some problems. 16. We did not go into the centre unless it was absolutely necessary it spoils Tenby 17. None as far as I was aware. 18. None 19. none 20. Total inconvenience. Ugliness of cafe culture, I moved outside town walls (Creswell Street as no parking provision at all) 21. We did not go into Tenby at all - because it was too much hassle, we travelled over to Narberth instead which was much more enjoyable 22. Lack of car park space, pavement blocked by chairs and table even before 11 am they were stacked outside the premises 23. Parking difficult in multistorey lack of disabled spaces. 24. Unable to walk - recovering from surgery 25. AS an elderly lady I find it more difficult to move up or down High Street out through crowds of inconsiderate people than cars - at least the cars will stop. 26. Unable to use chemist or banking facilities when needed. 27. Access to cash machines 28. More early traffic on the Norton 29. None 30. The rush-hour before and after time slots especially lorries 9-11 cars 5+ 31. Not long enough daily and not long enough during summer months 32. I need two sticks to help me walk only a short distance - so no access is no good to me, my son has great difficulty with his work for he is a self employed tradesman and needs his van with him for impossible to carry all his tools with him and with the cost of tools - not safe to leave his van in car park 33. If you want to pedestrianise - stop all traffic except ambulance and fire engines 34. All shopping done outside of Tenby 35. Table and chairs make the streets a bit over crowded 36. Restrictions on residents inside town wall eg those dependent on transport 37. The horse and cart appreciate a living has to be made but not what you really want going passed when eating al fresco 38. Not like Tenby in the past years. Over crowded streets spoils the class we used to have. 39. Need to plan more carefully access to the harbour. Greater restrictions in getting boating equipment to the harbour in order to meet demands of tide times. 40. Could not access my property's when I need to. 41. Denying residents access to their homes giving the town a look of pathetically trying to emulate a continental feel and making it look like a holiday attraction and not a real living town. 42. Unable to go to town 43. Banking large amounts of coins, carrying it on public transport if unable to travel earlier. 44. Parking outside the walls. 45. Being unable to rely on access to my parents home at Tenby Harbour. Although generally this is a nuisance rather than a serious problem, in an emergency or as/if their health deteriorates, it becomes very serious indeed. again see Q5 46. Reading negative peoples letters in the local paper. 47. Having to cycle through town and getting shouted and spat at not very nice. 48. Not enough parking during August 49. None 50. increased street parking outside the town walls misuse of reserved parking for residents 51. None 52. Nightmare in the mornings with deadlocked traffic 53. Access to town for normal day to day activities due to mobility problems. Disabled access is needed. 54. I can't walk to town from my house so I had to be in and out by 11 or after 5 if I went to town al all 55. Could not get to my business at Tenby Harbour. 56. Being a harbour user only being able to go up and down once was a slight inconvenience but nothing to really worry about 57. none 58. Not enough parking unless you had parked early in morning you had very restricted chance of getting parking space. 59. Dirty pavements and abuse of system by certain local individuals. 60. None 61. Lorries unloading at the same time to best the ban 62. People took parking on our street during the restricted times - they should be provided with car park bays I think 63. Parking for short term visits to traders in Tenby is a major problem in Summer and the all day charge for a 15 min visit is excessive. 64. More people in popular shops 65. No regulations of disabled bay parking - Tradesmen vans often use disabled bays around arches. Police/traffic warden all ignore and do not monitor. 66. None at all 67. None 68. There are too many restrictions for those in need 69. Cars parked on double yellow lines (Trafalgar Road) throughout the year 70. Everything was hard for me as I rely on drivers my carer can't go on bus on my own the experiment the hours were too long. 71. None for myself but I can realise that it must be difficult for those living in the area of St Julians Street and Harbour. 72. Don't do any shopping in Tenby during the pedestrianising time. am in the process of moving my bank account out of Tenby 73. People tend to congregate in that area of the town food scraps from people eating outside encourage gulls etc 74. Shame when time for cars to re-enter 75. Being disabled was very awkward setting home - I have to use a taxi service. 76. Creates some difficulties for disabled people. 77. When using park and ride I found IT very frustrating when trying to board a bus at WH Smith to go back to car park. Many buses passed me by as they filled up at the harbour. I am disabled and cannot walk far. 78. It must be difficult for residents in the walled town who do need access (eg elderly/disabled people) what proportion of residents are permanent? and should these people be given preferential treatment over holiday home owners where the property is in effect a business. 79. Took more of my time to plan to park etc - if necessary parked in post office in village or went into town before 11 80. I am disabled and use taxis so couldn't get to the walled town. 81. Lack of disabled facilities, encouraging a drinking culture. The town was very dirty. 82. People were not willing to return (holiday makers) local couldn't park, even stop for 5 minutes to pick up a loaf - a paper - a prescription, resident parking bays were useful for a 5 minute stop- not now. 83. Speedy access to facilities such as cash points 84. At 5.00 vans, cars and taxis aggressively drive in angry and too fast the whole calm atmosphere is transformed at a time most holiday makers are leaving the beach on their way home. 85. Restrictions affecting intra-rural residents and tradesmen 86. Traffic build-up on external town 87. Deliveries restricted 88. Teaching children to look both ways on the roads having had free access to roam during the school holidays. 89. None 90. Some grumbles from town residents my sympathies are more with hotelliers who need access/areas for guests booking in and out 91. My family and I made alternative arrangements to shop and bank elsewhere mainly Pembroke. 92. Parking 93. None from our point of view 94. The scheme makes life very difficult for people with disabilities walking problems and also blind people who have to negotiate pavements that are congested with tables and chairs etc. It did not allow me to visit the town freely as I had to park so far away. 95. A small readjustment in the using of my car 96. Children having freedom to walk in the street and then suddenly cars are about again and they nearly get run over. 97. Structure congestion at tables and chairs in certain areas of town. Perhaps businesses need designated areas given to them so that the cafe culture is contained as in Europe. Need for additional parking facilities during pedestrianisation and drivers informed when car parks are full (signs?) 98. Forgetting that pedestrianisation ends at 5pm 99. None. 100. Slight inconvenience having to wait outside till 5pm. 101. Inconvenience - ease of access to one's own property at certain times of the day. 102. Pedestrianisation not for long enough. 103. Loss of freedom to lead a spontaneous life. Waste of time and money talking to helpline. Waste of time waiting to follow the 'park and ride'. Stress of arguing with helpline operators. Stress of traffic conditions before and after pedestrianisation hours. Smell of fried food everywhere. 104. Being unable to take my friends shopping or visit elderly ladies who ring and ask me over for a cup of tea and so they can have some company. 105. It is not possible to get a taxi which is awkward when you cannot walk due to being old and arthritic. 106. Visitors assumed the town was traffic free throughout the day and consequently there were many near accidents and arguments with drivers outside the restricted times. Residents living in the town had their rights of access to their homes restricted. 107. As permanent resident and rate payers we require the same access provisions for all residents with or with out off street parking. There must not be difference between the two. We also pay for garaging outside the walls. 108. Lack of proper policing of permit control. This problem is even worse out of season. 109. Parking. 110. Increased difficulty for Elderly people to move about town. Having to change regular trips. 111. Control of arrival time from a distance. 112. None. 113. Pubs and cafes are my main concern I have even had some owners be abusive because I try to keep my toddler on the pavements. Try explaining to a 2 year why he can walk safely on the road for 8 weeks of the year but the rest of the year its not safe! I agree its nice for tourists but please leave the pavements clear. 114. Disruption/distress for residents and those working within the area. Older people cannot be taken to their door which was the case when we invested in the house. 115. Getting used to the 2 way traffic (the bus and occasional vehicles) on Crackwell Street, not a real problem though. 116. Guests became irate and were leaving early because they wouldn't be able to leave at their desired time, and did not enjoy a relaxing holiday. 117. Knowing that I cannot bring my car into the town when I need to, as I do not have off street parking. This makes me feel as though my freedom is limited. 118. Lack of access we should have to pay less council tax because of it. 119. We both need taxis to get to the doctor etc so need earlier appointments. 120. Tables and chairs on the road lowered the tone of the town in some cases. 121. Public opinion. 122. It was very unrealistic and also very confusing for children - a child will get killed one day thinking there are no cars here. Unable to bank for business and unable to get to the pharmacy quickly. It encouraged drinking. 123. Almost impossible to get all your work done in the time allowed! 124. I cannot speak for residents but we would not be happy if we did not have vehicle access if we were residents or run a business. 125. Does not welcome visitors to the town. 126. The lack of anywhere to park and traffic wardens who jump on you if you park anywhere near yellow lines. 127. Too many to write about! Overall it is just not working! 128. When there is no traffic in Tudor square you realise how totally characterless it has become, just with one or two exceptions. There are cheap stores and cafes and does not create an atmosphere! There was not enough thought given to having street entertainers etc. 129. Leave Tenby alone it is a lovely town! It could do with better parking facilities especially park and ride - when I was a child everyone came by train or by bike! 130. Not always being able to park in the afternoons and being able to do shopping. 131. Too many people walking around and dropping waste. 132. Continuous streams of traffic around the fringes looking for car parking facilities. 133. It made it difficult, if not virtually impossible, to visit the walled are of Tenby. 134. Having to plan the journey to town more effectively as you can't just "pop in" to the bank etc. Cost of multistorey car park and size of spaces, not wide enough when strapping in two children. 135. Maybe a need to control number of seats on the pavements - it appeared to hinder entry to some of the smaller shops. 136. Dangerous volume of traffic before and after pedestrianisation causing gridlock and road rage. 137. Knowing that you couldn't just pop to the shops as a local unless you wanted to wade through the tourists. 138. Remembering to look out for traffic after 5pm 139. Nothing particular 140. Visitors unable to drive to home so keeping away, Not being able to come and go as usual. 141. Freedom from enjoying your home, of which I pay a mortgage and council rates. I don’t have a reduction in either for July and August!! 142. Knowing we are the only residents in the UK who have to suffer restricted access to our homes creates really bad feeling and resentment towards the Council for not caring. The elderly cant even get a taxi to freedom. No residents are happy with the situation, and many are thinking of moving out. 143. Some major delays and inconvenience experienced by our guests (particularly elderly and families with young children) due mainly to being denied access to taxi service down to and from harbour. 144. It has ruined spending time in our holiday home. On holiday we want to relax not worry about getting the car out or in by a set time. It made going shopping difficult (Somerfield) not being able to go when we wanted to. 145. The amount of time wasting involved in any journey, (waiting to go in and then out etc..) Loss of freedom to make ones own decisions a feeling of oppression. 146. If parking is allowed in lower Frog Street it should also be available at the lower end of St Marys. It is wider opposite tradewinds than some places in Frog street. I would like a parking permit. I am 75. My wife is 70. 147. Litter, More bins needed. Enforcement of litter cans, give it back to them if seen discarding for example. It works. 148. See comments on 8 and 9. 149. That it is finished at 5:00 pm 150. Residents inside the walls have to pay to park outside their own front door! 151. None 152. Tables and chairs to far into road should only have tables one row outside pubs and cafe 153. None 154. None 155. Poor signage 156. See question 2, as a result all shopping now being done outside Tenby, Winter and Summer. 157. Access to Lloyds bank 158. Vehicles rushing to leave town before hours begin. Then big queues to center town when hours finish. Lots of visitors caught out at beginning and end of day. 159. None 160. People moaning about it. We are a tourist town and it works in many other places. 161. The quality of some of the food served was bad, so was some of the pricing. Spoiled things. 162. None 163. Causes parking problems, car parks often full 164. Parking 165. Limited access to banks and building societies. 166. Changed our life style completely in the summer. 167. older people have a saver place to walk around 168. am disabled. Cannot park near shop, find parking space elsewhere. live here find my town taken away by clean the weeds instead 169. no negative aspects 170. I feel pavements should be enlarged as this would add more character especially in Tudor square to St Julian street 171. no provision made for those people living in the town with off road parking. Surely traffic lights on Crackwell Street at the top and bottom would allow harbour residents with parking access away from Tudor square 172. at times when I needed to drive nearer town parking even in car parks was a nightmare shopped/banked etc out of Tenby 173. it has made a much more relaxed enjoyable place for visitors 174. wouldn't have been able to take disabled daughter into area by car however as she wasn't well enough this wasn't tested out 175. none 176. messy, untidy-cafes need to smarten up not just put out some tables and chairs 177. the town centre was a complete mess with queues in the High Street before 10am with lorries loading and unloading 178. no improvements to parking near the walled town 179. Banking. 180. There is an unhealthy build up of traffic prior to the scheme coming into effect (11am). 181. There is not enough car parking including mother and baby places. Long stay child friendly spaces needed. 182. There is not enough car parking, including mother and baby spaces. Long stay child friendly (bigger) spaces needed. 183. For my wife and my self we prefer the town in its quieter moments outside high season. 184. I don’t purchase as many things eg, I have to go further afield to buy nappies and formula milk etc In the summer I do not buy these things at boots as I cannot carry heavy items to the car. During the winter I can park outside to pitch up. 185. None that I can think of. 186. None. 187. Disabled parking is not easy to find. 188. None. 189. None. 190. I have been upset at the unfairness of the scheme to walled town residents, business people and harbour users. 191. None. 192. Major reduction in access to the high street/ Tudor square by car, as the only form of transportation available to me is a car I have a problem. 193. Alcohol on the streets. 194. Wondering pedestrians, unaware of disabled traffic, not that you can do anything about that, but maybe you could improve on question 9 195. None for me. 196. None. 197. Not enough parking. 198. Collection of heavy goods purchased in shops. 199. Everyone trying to deliver to shops before 11am causing mayhem. 200. Constantly planning ahead, then finding parking a nightmare with all the holidaymakers hogging spaces. 201. Elderly residents living in walled area that cannot walk about, and need transport and doctors visits. 202. For the householders who lived with in the town walls. 203. I don’t go to town. 204. I saw rats running up the hill. No one ever empts the bins, it is a filthy place. 205. A few people complaining. 206. Too much human congestion, too many tables and chairs all over the place, too many people drinking outside pubs not in a beer garden. 207. Petty rules ie chains around tables and chairs, unless cafe want to control the area. Stopping cars with a genuine need to get to their property. 208. Encouragement of drinking during the day. The copy cat syndrome. The streets have become too crowded 209. Increasing illegally parked cars outside of pedestrianisation areas. Disappointed that pembs c.c do not employ an adequate number of traffic wardens the whole year round, but especially during the summer season, which in Tenby runs from March till October. Cars parked outside our home, sometimes for weeks on end. People who cant park in town leave their cars in North Cliff. 210. The agro and congestion caused at the barriers Gorscar rock side of town spoiled the normally peaceful and beautiful view. Could it not be moved further down the road nearer the rock? 211. Access for businesses and residents in the town walls. 212. People parking in and around Augustus place who do not live or work there. No traffic warden in sight. 213. Not being able to drive into the town (I am a disabled driver). 214. Could not get to the bank. 215. None. 216. Traffic going into streets that they should not be in. 217. A few tables and chairs to not make a cafe atmosphere. Do away with pavements, and wash streets at night or early morning. 218. The flexibility to drive into town when it is raining. 219. The influx of cars after the scheme finishes especially if people are not aware and prepared to suddenly see the streams of traffic coming towards them. Also the race to leave town before the scheme starts. 220. Tables untidy/food etc left on streets. Street traders an eyesore and unfair to local shop owners who pay high rates. "locals" moral very low. Most visitors have little respect for the natural and historic beauty of the town. 221. For me it means more difficulty in getting down the town for practical purposes like going to the bank, chemist and hairdresser. I also find the volume of pedestrian traffic quite alarming, so I walk slowly with the use of a stick. 222. I hope residents issues and needs are catered for 223. Lack of waste bins, the disposal of waste there is so much litter. 224. The pedestrianisation experiment could be difficult for people who are living in the walled town, who are disabled and need to use the car during these times for medical reasons. 225. Tables and chairs over the pavement, trying to weave in and out of them. It is no good whatsoever with people with walking disabilities.5pm is chaos with traffic queing to come into town. Traffic just comes through with no warning. 226. I was kept away from town with in these times and also irritated by people thinking it was 24 hours and not moving to let cars through. It is dangerous to children because they have no concept of finishing time and are running into the roads after 5pm. 227. Restricts the running of businesses with in the town walls. 228. Parking in the whole town is awful. 229. Dirty pavements which do not lend themselves to having tables and chairs. Street sellers are a problem and the noise from music to Tudor square is also a problem for residents. 230. Should not have stopped at 5pm when all traffic was trying to get back into town and employees were trying to leave town, this caused congestion along the south parade and park road daily. 231. Getting to and from the harbour was a problem during previous experiment. 232. People with nothing constructive to say whinging. 233. Access for people in my position (health varies from day to day). I was fined for causing a restriction in Deer park by parking on double yellow lines, there was no restriction of traffic as it was flowing fine in both directions. 234. None. 235. Access to workshop denied, detrimental effect on businesses. Had to wheel barrow bags of cement from gate house to harbour. Area full of chip eating beer swigging visitors, call it cafe culture? Pedestrianisation has cheapened Tenby. Too many resident parking bays, wouldn’t we all love to have guaranteed parking places at this cheap price. 236. Not being able to Double park in Tudor square for a quick visit to the cash machine. 237. None 238. Being disabled there is not enough car parking facilities within reasonable distance of main shops like Barks and the chemist. 239. More walking into and out of town for elderly visitors. 240. The town was untidy and there was a lot of rubbish. 241. Residents inability to respond positively to the scheme. 242. The town is completely un manageable in the run up to 11am. You should have left more time for access at a more measured safe pace. 243. None. 244. None 245. Parking for householders guests and official workers causes huge problems. As a guest house we have had people leave as there is no parking anywhere in town during August. 246. Not being able to park when I went to work. The multi story car park should have more floors, or there should be another one built. The Salterns far end would be a good place for it. 247. The traffic before 11am was horrendous and not well managed and made entering the town early in the morning to do any deeds necessary before the restrictions impossible on times with the town becoming so gridlocked. 248. None. 249. My Husband drives and wont go into the town in the summer, however pedestrianisation scheme or not he would not drive into town peak season. 250. Tables and chairs blocking pavements and roads. 251. None. 252. Further pressure on parking spaces outside the walled town and in residential streets. 253. None. 254. The 5 o clock grand prix. 255. Bottle necks at the green and at Green hill road 256. Not as effective as 2003. 257. Going to the multi story car park and finding no spaces, although a lot of the walled town spaces are empty. 258. Gross congestion by commercial vehicles before and after the scheme hours. 259. Increase in traffic flow around the town, the magic roundabout of vehicles looking for a space to park. The complication of taking children to the beach and kit to the beach ie home, to the park and ride, try and find a parking space, get the bus and then you are at the beach, and then you have to do everything again just to get home. 260. All of it, it is full of drunken louts and smelly drains, and even smellier holiday makers. 261. Parking difficulties during the peak holiday season. 262. None. 263. None. 264. I didn’t like the tables and chairs outside the pubs encouraging people to drink all day instead of enjoying the sights and walks in Tenby. 265. Residents within the walled town having no access to their homes. 266. You just cant get a parking space in Tenby and I think that is a negative aspect, because if you cant park, you cant do anything. 267. Blind panic for deliveries and their drivers. 268. Unable to visit family within the town walls by car. 269. Seems to create parking problems. 270. I need my car to enable me to shop. 271. Parking for residents, without paying for a permit. It is so hard trying to find free parking spaces. Traffic wardens punish locals. The scheme is useless!!! 272. The congestion between 9 and 10am. 273. Having to plan shopping trips for my Mother who lives in the town centre around the scheme times. 274. I tried to keep out of town. 275. Parking. 276. The council could keep the town cleaner. The public toilets are a health hazard. 277. People who grumble and can not live without their car. They could use the park and ride bus, or even use their legs. some places use bikes or roller skates to get around a bit quicker. If people cannot walk they could get a wheel chair. 278. None, except immediately post 5pm people seem to forget that cars were now using the roads. 279. Heavier traffic congestion on the Norton/ White Lion street junction. 280. Car parking, empty bays on limited road side. 281. As eight, trying to find a parking space near my house, competing with those from within the town and not being allowed to use the space outside my house violated my husbands vehicle during the day time. 282. The clutter of tables and chairs in the road, and the smell of food emanating from them. 283. Residents within restricted area, it is not fair, you should allow them to move (controlled). 284. To myself none. 285. Not being able to park near the house. always being uncertain about whether there would be a space and whether it would be miles from the house. Having to plan any day trip or excursion to fit in with the towns restricted hours. 286. Difficulty for disabled drivers in gaining access to the town centre. 287. Difficulty in running our business (electrical retail and contracting). Every time we are called out into the town for repair service etc, we have to get permission from the telephone help line. Also customers from the outside walled town are going elsewhere to do their shopping where they can park more closely. 288. Effectively locked residents in and visitors out. Killed local social structure. 289. See 6f, plus there seems to be more litter in the streets. 290. Not long enough in both hours and months. 291. None, My property is not in the town walls. 292. Car parking facilities at the multi story car park need up-grading, a lift is needed, paint needed, prevent skateboarders from using it. 293. For me none, but I do feel sorry for people who live in the walled area, why should their lives be made awkward just to create a fake image of the town for tourists. 294. Unable to shop or park. 295. It is all positive. 296. None. 297. None. 298. We are carers of a disabled 85 year old with Altzheimers. She is in a wheel chair and goes everywhere by car. Her rights have been blighted. 299. People with mobility problems can be affected, my 90 year old mother for instance. She's philosophical about it, but younger people might not be. What is the situation, are businesses sponsoring electoral budgets or could the council purchase some for hire (as in Aberystwyth). 300. Inconvenience of having to plan my visits into town in my car. 301. Unable to access the town quickly in an emergency eg daughter had a fall and we couldn’t even get a taxi to pick us up and take her to the hospital. 302. Not to include June and September. 303. The main negative aspect for me is the fact that I love living in Tenby but pedestrianisation is ruining it for me with the extra cars, noise, litter and drunken behaviour during the day. 304. Restriction of access to shops for single item shoppers, losing business to other areas outside of Tenby. 305. There are traffic problems (particularly loading and unloading from trade vehicles) prior to 11am and particularly Friday mornings. 306. None for us. 307. Horrendous congestion between 9am and 11am. Lack of reasonable motorised access within the town walls for residents. Indignity of getting permission for doctors appointments etc, like a police state. 308. Having to do main shop outside town, which involves a twelve mile drive to Pembroke Dock Tesco. 309. Access to harbour for boat owners at periods at periods governed by tide times. 310. I imagine that it would be for access for residents in the town its self. 311. Over spill of transport/ parking in the rest of the town in the outside walls. 312. Cars parking everywhere along the Croft, making access difficult. 313. Cafe tables and chairs getting in the way. 314. The mad rush by people in their cars who storm the town centre the minute the exclusion is lifted. They must be hovering like birds of pray waiting to swoop. 315. None. 316. Restricted access and our normal activities were curtailed. 317. A rush prior to the restriction at 11 am. 318. Increases numbers parking on double yellow lines, despite the presence of traffic wardens. Also it seems that locals know the traffic wardens / Police are excused when parking illegally. 319. None. 320. Vehicle access after 5pm. The town should be totally pedestrianised, traders should not be given any special privileges to load and unload, before am maybe. They actually cause main parking problem by arriving at 8.30/am and staying all day with a note on the car to say who they are. 321. Outside the town wall it can be hard to park as I am a permanent resident we cannot park in the car park, so I park on double yellow lines so I keep my eye on the car all day for traffic warden. 322. Didn't notice any. 323. Difficulty towing boats to and from the harbour. 324. We need more parking. 325. Unable to access Bukes and the chemist, I have restricted mobility so the use of my car is very necessary, otherwise if I was able and access without my car I would. 326. Possible difficulties for parents with pushchair's. 327. Traffic outside the town walls. 328. Moaning residents. 329. Restriction of business access to property, negative sale prospects, buyers do not want restrictions of access. 330. Very unjust if you are paying for a parking permit and then having to park way away from your home. 331. Restrictions on access when required to my home to load and unload. 332. Overall no great affect. just traveling hours were controlled. 333. Increased amount of fairly drunk people in town, not pleasant in a children holiday town. A large amount of disruption caused to builders and tradesmen when carrying out day to day work and needing materials etc. 334. None. 335. More litter ie dirty serviettes, waste food. Much more congestion for walkers. 336. Unable to access my home when required to collect things and unload shopping etc. very very inconvenient. 337. The congestion in the mornings before the experiment begins, with all the delivery lorries fighting to get in, but it is a price worth paying. 338. Not being able to access our property within reasonable limits, also being unable to bring my disabled mother easily & workmen refusing to come in case they cant get out before the curfew. Not being able to unload gear for the boat in the harbour/ work tools. 339. Limits our right of freedom to travel to and from our own home when we need and wish too. 340. As you will see from earlier correspondence from residents MP's, the residents are unable to get transport (taxis etc) to and from their properties so restricting their freedom. Many long term residents have sold up and moved out of the walled town. 341. Stress levels raised. Planning ones day in advance with little scope for making last minute changes or emergency access. 342. Not in control of how I live my life and organise my day. 343. Not being able to come and go to take four children to activities outside Tenby. Not being able to have friends and relatives in and out. 344. Attracted all day drinkers. I was unable to work, catch a taxi, load or unload, have visitors, accept or have collected parcels from couriers, bring my 95 year old Mother in law home for lunch, take the children out to Saundersfoot for dancing lessons etc. Loss of time due to queuing and walking to car park. 345. No access. 346. Not being allowed to come and go as I please. I need to load and unload once per week or less, but I hate being told what I can and cannot do. I need a courier two or three times, and it is very inconvenient to have to stay home from work so he can pick up or deliver before 11 am. I cannot have any work done on my house or electrical maintenance. 347. No access to my home for those hours for unloading shopping, luggage, garden stuff. Elderly and disabled parents could not be driven to my home. 348. Effect on the lives of residents who are denied access to their homes. 349. No parking available for residents without off street, ie paying every day for parking, not fair. 350. It made life difficult for the disabled members of the family who use our residence. It was very inconvenient for loading and unloading luggage on every visit. 351. Having no access, using the help line. Having to walk my disabled residents out of town to catch taxis for appointments. All become prisoners. 352. Lack of short term parking i.e. 1-3 hours. 353. Too noisy after 5pm. 354. Tables and chairs on pavements early so it makes walking passed difficult and you have walk on roads to pass before the cars have been stopped in the High Street. 355. Having to go in early to do any shopping. 356. Congestion prior to 11.00 am and after 5.00 pm is worse than ever. 357. I did feel that it was dangerous to be in town before 11.00 am because of all the big lorries and extra traffic doing their business before the restriction time. 358. The constant moaning of the people who are slightly inconvenienced. 359. Traffic jams in mornings prior to 11.00 am. 360. My husband cannot walk very far and he found the taxis could only pick up in certain spots that were too far for him to walk. 361. At 5.00 pm cars driving too fast coming in the town. 362. For me - none, but perhaps some problems for people living inside Town Walls. 363. Only walled town residents had reserved parking as outside the walls had to take a chance if we could get a parking spot in town and also if our parking was empty when we returned home people do not like to pay for parking so tend to fill the streets first. Why do you think so many people are applying for off street parking. 364. It was pleasant to walk around the town without watching out for traffic 365. Curiously deadening effect on town. Reduced our use of Shops in town. 366. Drinking on the streets. Street traders especially in five arches. The same traders - musicians, monkey sellers, hair braid etc. Not a culture of craft and ethnic mix but just free loaders. 367. Parking if we needed to collect things from shops. 368. Kept us away from town. 369. Anguish of residents and business owners. I believe the population of the town (inside town walls) has been reduced from around 700 to 400 possibly as a result. Inadequate car parking in Tenby. 370. None 371. None 372. Inconvenient for work, shopping, going to bank in the car etc. 373. Parking 374. No negative aspects at all. 375. It annoys us. My husband and I both work in businesses in the town and it has a detrimental effect on those firms, people outside the town local and UK wide do not realise/understand that businesses have been restricted in their access. 376. My daughter had trouble getting to work in the town. We shopped in Narberth or Pembroke Dock regularly during pedestrianisation - something we rarely do normally. 377. Larger fuel bills re travelling to Post Offices and banks out of area to do normal business to avoid queues and no parking in Tenby. 378. Should have access for disabled badge holders. 379. No negative aspects. 380. Appalling lack of easy parking actually makes people stay away from Tenby and causes us residents stress as we don’t have enough parking places and tourists park in them illegally. Hardship caused to residents inside the city walls. 381. Inadequate parking provision. Many empty spaces in residents parking bays on streets during the day. 382. Aesthetically poor environment (signage and bollards etc). 383. The scheme makes me feel that the town belongs to strangers in the summer and by making me shop elsewhere for a long period, reduced any loyalty that I previously had for Tenby shops. 384. Created congestion of delivery vehicles at going to work time. 385. None 386. Disruption, Inconvenience. The manner in which PCC has imposed its preferred option and by only paying lip service to consultation. 387. Lack of central parking for people living on outskirts of town only needing to park for a short period of time. 388. Difficult to run a business but not impossible. I feel it discourages visitors. 389. More drinking. Less parking areas especially for The Croft residents as on many occasions the car parks were full. 390. No comments 391. Restricted time zone for deliveries difficult to meet. 392. Queues of traffic not knowing where to go at times. 393. Tables and chairs on pavements. 394. Still seem to be a lot of vehicles. 395. Vehicle access after 5.00 pm - why? Walled town should be totally pedestrianised. Traders should not be given any special privilege - load/unload before 9.00 am. They actually cause problems by arriving around 8.30 am and staying all day with note on car to say who they are. 396. Restricted access for disabled. 397. Unable to drop off pick up at friends house in harbour. 398. Access to my boat in the harbour. 399. Too many young groups drinking and swearing in the streets because of the cafe culture mainly round the known young rowdy pubs. 400. Having to time ones journeys start and finish. 401. Neither I, my elderly father, my elderly neighbours or several acquaintances can visit Tenby during the scheme. We cant stand or walk for long enough to access the shops. It is ridiculous that as local residents and council taxpayers we cannot contribute to the local economy by shopping where we choose. 402. The awful congestion of delivery vehicles between 9 and 11 - sometimes causing grid lock for often 20-30 minutes and no police or traffic warden in sight. Tradesmen especially publicans need to get up earlier to receive deliveries. Other towns do it so can we. 403. It finished. 404. Access to the harbour for harbour users. 405. None 406. Stopping park & ride mid week caused chaos in Salterns car park. 407. The locals had to work there days around the pedestrianisation and parking definitely needs to be looked at. With the number of people who visit Tenby and the people who live locally there is just not enough parking available for everyone. This is made worse when the town is closed 11.00 am to 5.00 pm. 408. Visitor access on arriving and leaving their accommodation. 409. None APPENDIX NINE QUESTION: Overall, in your opinion how has the pedestrian experiment affected Tenby?

I believe the population of the town (inside town walls) has been reduced from around 700 to 400 possibly as a result. Inadequate car parking in Tenby. 359. Clears traffic out of town to create more relaxed feel. No restriction on my household's activity. 360. More enjoyment of a top tourist resort. 361. More room to walk around. 362.

APPENDIX TEN QUESTION: What were the main negative aspects? 1. Town less attractive to visiting boat users and regatta fleets. Many visitors incurred parking tickets as there was nowhere to park (at no fee) and therefore will not be returning. 2. Too disorganised. It was difficult to shop properly. The main street was smelling (of fish and chips and beer) and untidy. 3. Problems for those living inside walls especially elderly. 4. Shopping and access to disabled. 5. Tradesmen had problems dealing with emergencies? (hearsay). 6. No parking made easier for us who pay price of tourists 7. Restricted access 8. None 9. None 10. None 11. The fact that people inside the walls were denied the use of their transport. 12. I find walking hard and so dodging people is a painful thing for me to do. Being banged around by prams, family, kids unsupervised - and people who only want to rush for drinks. 13. None 14. None 15. Perhaps Tenby Harbour might benefit from a cafe culture experiment strange that it isn't possible to eat/drink and enjoy views perhaps the car park area. 16. I feel sorry for people actually living within the walled town area. I would have thought it against their civil rights to withdraw access 17. Must be a problem for residents 18. Access to banks/cash machines. Multistorey is an appalling car park - size of bays etc 19. None 20. None 21. Traffic wardens seem only interested in booking non local plates of which we have one time got a ticket when cars either side did not. This definitely needs reviewed if you are to consider the same approaches as you have up to now. Also more short term parking bays for normal usage very very limited. 22. I have had to got to Narberth, Pembroke etc rather than go into Tenby to shop -especially on Saturdays when there are always drunks sitting around. 23. Still some traffic so unsafe to let children walk around 24. Chaos all over town. Regular shopping loss to local traders 25. Does not solve problem of illegal parking outside the pedestrianisation times in 0800 - 1100 and 1700 to 2000 26. Some local residents still feel that their views are being ignored. There is still room for better negotiations with the representatives of those who live within the town walls and other essential users. 27. See above. This year 2 shops in upper frog street 28. Encourage pedestrians to walk in the road or jay walk outside pedestrian times 29. I think it's outrageous that residents and businesses cannot access their property, especially those with off road parking shame on you. 30. Residents not happy 31. Makes people of the town more aware of what is going on. Make people feel that it is all right to ask questions and be dealt with in a positive way. 32. roped off areas denying people the right to walk on the pavements. Very bad for blind and wheelchair. 33. No parking (Disabled) especially early morning when roads were completely blocked by cars and delivery vehicles trying to do business before 11am. 34. Not being allowed to drive to the Harbour for business reasons and drinking in the road. 35. People (residence) moaning about no cars in town 36. None 37. None 38. None 39. None 40. The increased parking of non-residents on my road 41. It may be possible that trades people may of increased their prices owing to the increased volume of people in the town. 42. No monitoring of disabled parking in Tenby at all - yet other areas of Pembrokeshire have been checked (quite happy with this) by wardens on a regular basis - sometimes only car in car park. 43. None at all 44. None 45. poor parking 46. for residents restricted access to their homes 47. Access by those who need access particular reference to elderly, sick and those caring 48. Nowhere to park after 10.30 - 11.30 car parks full, banks are shut 4.30 so I can't get to them or shops, pavements full of chairs and ropes etc. 49. Couldn't laugh at coacher doing three point turns 50. No shopping/trade, people think Tenby is closed. No competitors coming to sail/race. 51. Too much overtime paid to council workers and poll tax went up again it's out money you miss use it. 52. Some jams before 11 am no wardens to supervise the rush of deliveries. 53. I felt extremely sorry for the residents of the walled town, they pay full business rates top council tax and many of them make Tenby work and click - surely human rights are being affected. 54. Loading bays in white lion street were previously disabled bays. Surely disabled bays are needed much more than loading 55. Negative comments on the press give the impression that Tenby is difficult to visit some people don't realise that pedestrianisation affects a relatively small area. 56. Difficulty for residents within town walls. 57. Perhaps visitors may have by-passed Tenby but then it's impossible to drive or park in town in summer weeks anyway 58. Not enough outside wall parking maybe residents living outside the walls could apply for a badge to park short term on double yellow lines. 59. Couldn't use pavements and more congestion elsewhere in town. 60. A considerable amount of traffic passing our house on Park Road. The difficulty when vehicles allowed access tried to pass people on the road in walled town area 61. The speed the cars come in at 5.00 62. already suggested 63. Access to control areas restricted for deliveries and holiday makers wanting to get to accommodation. 64. Dishearted Tenby residents having to give up free access for 2 months of the year for visitors. 65. Don't really know 66. Refer to question 8 please 67. Access to your own bank/building society, parking 68. Again the scheme makes life very difficult for people with any disability and does not allow them to visit the town on a sporadic basis - every journey has to be very carefully planned. 69. From my point of view there were none 70. Overseas visitors and generally on Sundays parking in Tudor square unknowingly. Perhaps need to have permanent sign opposite the mini roundabout. 71. none. 72. Inconvenience to businesses. Inconvenience to people for hospital appointments, funerals. 73. Tow finishes up as a littered cafe with many aimless, wandering visitors after 5pm. Should council tax mitigate for this!! 74. None. 75. Smell of fried food. The monotonous Peruvian music in Tudor square. Pubs taking over streets. A general lowering of the tone of the town. Traffic chaos before 11am and after 5pm. 76. Not being able to visit people or take my friends shopping. 77. Residents had rights of access to their homes restricted. 78. Parking (Lack of parking for residents without street permit parking areas Eg upper Frog street. 79. Congestion before 11am, and even worse after 5pm. 80. Turning a charming, vibrant living community into a theme park with too much drinking and too much drunken behaviour late at night e.g. 2am last Friday. 81. Confusion for some car drivers who get 'stranded' inside through ignorance. Some traffic wardens are unsupporting in these situations. 82. People still resent not being able to drive direct into the town and some residents feel cooped up. 83. Access for residents 84. Encouraged drinking. 85. Lack of parking 86. It was messy 87. The town looks a mess and the lack of traffic exposes this! 88. Many people (not residents) do not visit Tenby during July and August as a result. Also residents with cars have great difficulty. 89. Most people tried to get into town before and after the ban instead of a steady flow of traffic throughout the day. Also the car parks are packed from early on in the day. 90. It is very difficult for some people who do need their car, but for others it is not too far to walk from the car park to town. 91. Parking after 12pm is a nightmare. Maybe more local parking areas for people who live just outside Tenby but are still locals! 92. No access when occasionally needed. 93. Personally I don' t think the town centre is a suitable area for outdoor meals, also it makes Tenby look untidy and messy with tables on the pavement, dirty crockery waiting to be collected etc. 94. None. 95. Disadvantaged residents within the walls. 96. Watching visitors drag heavy bags to and from accommodation. 97. Residents and tradesmen access. 98. None for us but we live outside of the town! 99. Drunken people sitting outside pubs. Traffic rushing to get out before 11am blocking roads and causing tempers to fly. 100. Extremely busy before 11am 101. Seemed to be less visitors. People turning away on finding no access. 102. People go to Saundersfoot and enjoy the freedom of driving through the town, parking in town and walking in town. 103. Traffic chaos in the mornings, children walking on the roads after 5pm. The whole area is changing to welcome more day trippers and put off family holiday makers who find it too much hassle to holiday inside the town in local accommodation. 104. Total restriction of taxi services and reliance only on bus service. While latter is good, council officers should try using the service, loaded with bags and cases between station and harbour. 105. Difficulties in picking up children and grandchildren. 106. Not being able to leave or access our holiday home when we wanted. Very hard having to apply for car permits they should be sent automatically. If we have continued restrictions during July and August we may be forced to sell. We love Tenby but it is too difficult to stay here. 107. Residents moving out of town, loss of community. People who cannot adapt to such a scheme will have to move outside the town walls. 108. No 109. Cant be bothered, Lets go on. (passing family motorist). 110. No bus or such like for people who can not walk well to gain access to town square and St Julians Street. 111. Personally there are none 112. The free park and ride bus service is frequent and very good. 113. Few, the residents in the scheme were "put out" mentally 114. No consideration given to disabled persons, also licensed boat mooring holders in the harbour. Will PCC give rebate for mooring fees? 115. The period is now too long, people who live inside the walls are now virtual prisoners, tradesmen who invariably carry all tools etc in their vans are prevented from going about their legal business causing problems for those who need their services. 116. Access to Lloyds bank 117. None 118. Understandably more difficult for residents within the walls. 119. None 120. Too much concentrated traffic before 11am. Sudden surge at 5pm 121. Restricted access for town residents and restricted access to banks and building societies for all local people. 122. Try living in or near the town 123. People who live here pay council tax and the council pay no head to the people who pay them only positive for press coverage 124. none 125. improved pedestrian access from the footbridge to the harbour 126. local traders are loosing local business 127. complaints by some residents 128. messy streets 129. people who come to visit like to look around the town in their cars before deciding to stay. This is not possible so they go elsewhere 130. Continue the good work here. 131. Full car parks. 132. Maddening crowds. 133. Difficulty for local residents and businesses getting to and from properties. 134. None. 135. None 136. There are fewer tourists booking to stay in Tenby. 137. Sent visitors away, unable to park near to the town. 138. Bad publicity, it is putting people off coming into the town and it is killing off business. 139. When family or friends come to stay they find it very hard to park. 140. Reduction in access to banks/ shops in the high street and Tudor square. 141. Congestion on the way into Tenby (White lion street, Greenhill road and the Norton). 142. Residents dint like it. 143. None. 144. Restricting local people's way of life. 145. Do not agree to cyclists riding through town like idiots. 146. Roads need to be cleaned every morning and during the day. This has improved this week. 147. Lack of consideration for residents. 148. Added pressures for businesses and residents, with no financial compensation. 149. Limits access. 150. None 151. For householders who were unable to set out of their houses with vehicles. 152. I can not see any. 153. None. 154. I suspect for the residents. 155. Plenty. 156. It was a real mess, dog dirt everywhere, people drinking out of cans. 157. Too many Tables, not enough access allowed for residents, same very silly rules for disabled people. 158. Difficulty getting to our home in North Cliff because of the illegally parked cars on the croft and North Cliff. Cars parked outside our home sometimes left for weeks on end, despite a large car park at Butts Field. 159. Abusive drivers who did not want to use their legs and think rules don’t apply to them gave park and ride drivers a very hard time. 160. None. 161. Cyclists riding into town. You can see and hear a motor vehicle, but not a cyclist. 162. Having to carry shopping further especially due to the fact that the multi story car park short stay is always full. 163. Elder people that are disabled that can not get to shop out of the town wall. The need of more parking. It is a skate board park instead of a multi storey car park. 164. Local people just don’t go into town any more. 165. Parking is even worse outside walled town when tourists are here. 166. None 167. So much hassle with the tables and chair in the streets. 168. Untidy and dirty. 169. Change-over day for visitors, and access to holiday flats. 170. The general appearance of roads and pavements. 171. Drinking on Saturday afternoons. On several Saturdays I have felt threatened. 172. In my experience, when I was walking past boots the rocket was launched for the life boat. There was the coastguard coming through town at speed could well have caused injury. 173. Access for residents tradesmen, deliveries and businesses. 174. Concerned for the views of the residents with in the town walls. 175. Harder to access the town quickly and the parking is more congested. 176. I tend to go to Pembroke dock to complete the shopping and keep away from Tenby during the summer time. 177. None. 178. Narberth town has a short stay parking bays down its high street. This system obviously works, as Narberth is thriving, vibrant and accessible. Most of us just require a 10 minute window to go about our business. If parking was monitored properly in Tenby there would be no problems. 179. Some elderly people may have difficulty to walk into the walled town. 180. People moaning because they cant drive to somewhere which is considered to be a really lovely walk. 181. Amplified musicians playing the same tunes too loudly day in and day out in the same place. Also please shoot the bongo player. 182. Inconvenience for those who live within the town with cars. 183. Many visitors believe that the scheme runs all year round, and do not ever visit. 184. None. 185. What I find frustrating is that during the busiest time of the year in Tenby we lack parking spaces. For example a load of the areas outside the wall become disabled only, even though disabled drivers can park on double yellow lines. So when the traffic doubles the possible places to park are halved, where is the sense in that?? 186. None (apart from the whinging of certain residents about being imprisoned!). 187. Parking!!! 188. The amount of cars have increased with the amount of holiday makers now having cars. Tenby is too small too cope with the traffic. It is also chaos outside Somerfield, with cars parked there stopping buses getting in the bus bays. 189. As described in 13b the hours you were allowed to business in town were near impossible. 190. None really. 191. Some pavements were being cluttered up with tables and chairs. More lorries and vans in town in the morning. 192. Not enough music, entertainment and street attractions. That needs a town manager like Haverfordwest. 193. None. 194. The inconvenience to residents inside the walled town. 195. When you were allowed back in there was so much congestion made by people waiting to get back in to the town walls. 196. Late morning start. Cars driving around Tenby walled town in restricted hours. Cars left parked inside the walled town during restricted times. 197. Gross inconvenience to some residents and unsympathetic (lack of understanding) on the helpline. The cafe culture is not an attractive sight or smell. 198. Many visitors could not actually gain access to the town because they could not park and leave their car. 199. Difficult for people who live within the walled town. 200. This scheme aims to attract visitors, but I think that our beaches and beauty of the area already does that. 201. Restrictions for residents within the town wall, especially the elderly. 202. None 203. I cannot think of any. 204. Streets need to be clean more often, the pavements must be steam cleaned daily to provide a hygienic place for tables and chairs/food. 205. Congestion in Tudor Square prior to 11am. Church activities, services and fund raising. 206. Not allowing residents living within the town walls full access to their property. 207. Tables and chairs outside some premises - i.e fish and chip shops & pubs cheapens the town. Drinking alcohol in the streets is a bad influence on children. 208. Parking permits are unfair, we are residents but outside to the walls so we cant get permits, one rule for one and one for another. 209. Holiday makers had to arrive before 11am to unload vehicles. 210. Difficult to park close, and to move around. Tables were left with rubbish and food on them. 211. It is driving people away from Tenby. 212. Tenby would benefit from a multi story car park (the present one is a disgrace). 213. None. 214. None for us. 215. Town people who love to moan. Also trades people who deliver from their shops inside the town, they (only a small few) could be allowed to move in and out at a slow speed. 216. Inconvenient for most local people who pay for the upkeep of this town. 217. None. 218. Getting to go to the bank. 219. Focussing on the town centre with little regard for those of us outside the town walls. 220. I would never buy a residence within the town walls. 221. Access for businesses must have been a problem for deliveries too. Restrictions to disabled which limits their access which is discrimination. 222. Tenby is less able to operate as a market town, the only shops are cafes and gift shops. It is no longer a shopping destination. 223. Residents suffer at visitors benefit. 224. As business people within the town, the loss of trade from surrounding areas, Saundersfoot, New Hedges, Penally, Manorbier has been the most obvious effect. 225. Encouraged all day drinkers. Unable to feel safe with drinkers brash behaviour. 226. Locals seem to go else where to do their shopping. 227. Not easy living within the town walls. 228. Resentment among residents. 229. I ended up doing most of my household shopping out of town. 230. Grumbling and complaints from some residents. 231. People who decided to complain about it. 232. None. 233. None. 234. We were inhibited from enjoying our own home and properties. 235. Insufficient parking spaces. Signs that look serious/un welcoming, get something designed that inspires! it is a treat to leave your car behind, surely? 236. Bad for local people. 237. Visitors very disgruntled about access. 238. None. 239. None. 240. None 241. General opinion of people that I have spoken to is that it is a hindrance especially for home delivery, tradesmen and taxis for people who need to get to the doctors etc. 242. Early morning traffic. Difficulty parking. 243. Closure of some businesses and residents moving out of the walled area, if this continues Tenby will become a seasonal town. 244. Harmful for businesses and hotels and guest houses. Indignities and impediments for residents inside walls. 245. None that I can think of. 246. Main area, even greater difficulty accessing shops. 247. Most local people ( ie in Pembrokeshire) try not to visit Tenby in the summer months because of lack of parking facilities. 248. Over spill for parking. 249. The fact that it is not a year round ban on traffic, or at least 9 am till 9pm ban during the summer period. 250. None. 251. No access. Before 11 am was hell. It has also divided the town and although we are a business and not a resident I can sympathise with residents opposition to the scheme, or at least the inflexibility of it. 252. Increased illegal parking, especially in narrow streets such as the croft. Many Coaches travel along the Croft and turn around at its entrance which causes many problems at that junction if people are parked all over the yellow lines. 253. I can understand the inconvenience for traders and workmen and businesses etc, but this has happened in other areas like Bridge street in Haverfordwest and it is possible to cope and work around the restrictions. 254. Businesses and home owners should have permits to allow access. 255. It did not last all year. 256. The town is getting overcrowded with cars. People must use their cars for every little trip. 257. Part time pedestrianisation is not good, because of Publicans greed it just makes the high street look cheap. 258. Access for residents in area. 259. Difficulties for people living inside the walled town. 260. South American group singing the same songs everyday under my window. 261. Loss of resident and visitor access. 262. Restrictive access for vehicles in and out of the town. 263. People choose to go elsewhere rather than suffer being turned away at entrance to town centre. 264. Probably affected trade. 265. Increase in drunk and disorderly behaviour. Disruption to most boat users due to difference in tide and access to harbour. Not keeping with the holiday town for children. 266. None. 267. Many people refused to come to Tenby during the period. 268. Cars parked in St Julians Street at 4 pm. 269. Talking to visitors staying in holiday lets in town walls who could not access their properties. 270. Access to property, lack of freedom to come and go. If going out I could only go for two hours in the morning or face being out all day. Reduces our property to living in a b&b. 271. See comments in 13b. The present scheme also effects the visits of family and friends. 272. Resentment from residents towards County Council and towards tourists taking over our town and effecting our day to day living. 273. Most shop keepers complain of a fall in trade. The only people to benefit are publicans. 274. Too much congestion in the morning, forces people out of town as it is easier to shop in other towns. Restricts local businesses Like for outer reef surf to pick up in town. 275. It put people off coming to the town. 276. Encouraged stag and hen all day drinking and alcohol related antisocial behaviour. Loss of use to harbour (unable to launch boat). Perception town was closed (unless you were a visitor). Traffic still not managed in Tenby area. 277. Beer garden culture on the streets. 278. Instead of cafe culture, there is an untidy mish mash of outside eating and drinking, and an all parading smell of chips and tomato ketchup. 279. People don’t want to visit because it is so much hassle. Visitors cannot bring luggage to rented properties. Residents property prices influenced. 280. Restriction on residents. 281. Grid lock and traffic mayhem with delivery vehicles trying to get out of town before 11 am deadline. Boy racers roaring in at 5.05 pm etc. 282. Restriction of movement as and when. 283. It has made it very difficult for residents and businesses to access their properties freely. 284. Locals are moving out and Londoners are moving in for their holiday homes and holiday flats to rent. 285. Lack of parking. 286. As access to the town was restricted tourists chose to go elsewhere. 287. Having to keep out of Tenby during the pedestrianisation. 288. More vigilant policing needed at all times throughout all of Tenby. If the traffic laws are not to be enforced, then scrap them! More car parks on the periphery of the town. Multistorey car park must be improved. Parking bays too small resulting in damage to vehicles. Vandals stopped, skateboards, mountain bikes and ball games all take place in the multistorey! Policing in Park Roads, parked cars prevent bus travellers boarding buses. Speeding on Upper and Lower Park Road and Green Hill. 289. Cars still in town after 11.00 am as they don’t "see" the signs and access to properties for residents. Also received complaints from holidaymakers who were unable to unload suit cases upon arrival at the town. This is wrong. 290. Traffic jams in mornings prior to 11.00 am. 291. Tradesmen would find it hard to complete a days work properly with deliveries and the need to be near a vehicle for tools and materials. 292. None 293. Not being able to get into town within the working day. 294. Not being able to park in main car parks unless early in morning. 295. The vehicle restrictions for people who live in the walled town. The continuous and very loud and intrusive type of music played in Tudor Square from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm each day. 296. Curiously deadening effect on town. Reduced our use of Shops in town. 297. Drinking on the streets. Street traders especially in five arches. The same traders - musicians, monkey sellers, hair braid etc. Not a culture of craft and ethnic mix but just free loaders. 298. I feel it very unfair that residents within the town wall cannot come and go as they please by car. 299. As always - parking 300. After hours when traffic reinstated, pedestrians still assumed freedom to wander down middle of street - driving really difficult. 301. Anguish of residents and business owners. I believe the population of the town (inside town walls) has been reduced from around 700 to 400 possibly as a result. Inadequate car parking in Tenby. 302. None 303. Very few. 304. Unfair on residents who live within town walls and businesses. 305. Too many seating areas outside eating establishments. 306. We would like the pedestrianisation all year round. 307. It annoys us. My husband and I both work in businesses in the town and it has a detrimental effect on those firms, people outside the town local and UK wide do not realise/understand that businesses have been restricted in their access. 308. Unexpected push bikes and even skate boards. 309. Gridlocked roads. Impossible to get into town even early in morning due to all delivery vans having to do so prior to 11.00 am. 310. Many people avoid going into town at all. Easier to go to New Hedges or Kilgetty. 311. Difficult for disabled drivers to visit town centre. 312. No negative aspects. 313. Shoppers driven out. 314. Relaxed holiday atmosphere. 315. I had to drive to Narberth to visit a NatWest Bank. I feel that the scheme favours the cafes, pubs and cheap jack shops but not the kind of shops we need all year round. 316. Unreasonable to resist people who live within the town walls using their cars. Council Tax should be halved if access is denied. 317. Everybody including Police parked on pavements in Warren Street. 318. Unfortunate for walled town residents. 319. Visitors: Disabled not catered for. Residents: Disabled not catered for. 320. Increased street trading which does not enhance the image of #Tenby. 321. You have to plan your business around the pedestrianisation times. 322. Parking. Alcohol abuse. 323. Problems with local trades people who need to have vehicle access within time zone, either deliveries or to carry out their work. 324. Residents have been ignored when making their objections. The scheme has caused some residents to sell up and move out. 325. Pubs and cafes blocking disabled pavements. No consideration for disabled. 326. It did not last long enough. 327. Parking a nightmare. 328. Inconvenient for some people but most problems could be cured by the way people do things or the time they do things. 329. It stopped me from going into town. I am not going to use park & ride for shopping. Multi-storey car park always full. 330. Access to the harbour. 331. Seeing and listening to the drunken yobs outside public houses. 332. None 333. Drop in spending by local people who have no choice. Constant anxiety about whether one can beat the clock. Feeling completely alienated/unconsidered by PCC. 334. Hearing of holidaymakers unable to access properties on their time of arrival. I feel sorry for residents not allowed free access. 335. Not enough buses, no taxis, not enough parking. Grid lock before 11.00am. 336. It finished. 337. Grumpy harbour users. 338. Waste of time effort and money doing these questionnaires. Just make a decision and do it. Lets move on. Why print in Welsh? Those that want it can ask. 339. None 340. All day drinking in the streets. 341. Drinking on the streets, no feeling of a "Cafe Culture". 342. Complete traffic chaos first thing APPENDIX ELEVEN QUESTION: Do you have any other comments about the pedestrianisation experiment in Tenby? 1. Make pedestrianisation permanent. 2. Please consider going back to open town, as it used to be, a place for residents to use without restrictions. Consider a daily tax on all visitors as per vehicle. 3. I am disabled, 93 years old and cannot walk the distance from taxi to shops. 4. Personally, I can't think it attracted more visitors. It would indeed detract them. 5. Keep it going but always with improvements and always take account of residents needs. 6. Subsidised taxi service should be available for holiday makers arriving by coach or train with unlimited access to town. This should also be available for residents especially old and disabled who cannot park near their homes. 7. It's a good thing. 8. The pedestrianisation was brilliant. 9. Propose research be made in other walled towns with the common problems of accessibility for vehicles. Contact Councillor John Price, MBE President of the Walled Towns Friendship Circle (c/o ETFC, Town Hall, Chester CH1 2HS). 10. Very relaxing watching everyone enjoying the holiday atmosphere. 11. If you can successfully enforce the scheme - then why can't you enforce illegal parking etc outside the scheme period? 12. Well done in widening pavements. 13. Use computer technology to help flow of traffic and allow year round residents greater help. 14. The individuals responsible should be made to live in Tenby during the restrictions and see how they manage. 15. It is excellent 16. Please do not get rid of it. Better still: extend period and hours 17. Put the pedestrians first - walking people - its like one big noisy people jam, with no thought to the rest of us who want to shop or strole the town (its like a cattle market) 18. No 19. Make all lorries in by 11am summer and winter as they can do if for July and August so they can do it all year round. that will help the traffic in the High Street. 20. Why can't this restriction be an all year as holiday makers are coming on the winter months as well a lot are OAP who require safety on roads. 21. no 22. Need more out of town car parks and park and ride. if people can't park they go elsewhere. 23. Tenby looks increasingly down market I think street/architecture should be cleared of all litter, unsightly signage boards, street furniture. Pubs shouldn't be allowed on street tables/chairs 24. none 25. Why can't Tenby be calm and peaceful encouraging a more mature atmosphere 26. Suggest you do away with the pavements -pave all the roads this would cause traffic to drive with caution and also people would spread out more - this slowing the town's traffic down. this has been tried in other towns - Example is exhibition road in central London) 27. Cash machines available outside walled town. Locals who just need to get cash have to park outside and make a special trip into town otherwise just for the sake of withdrawing cash. 28. No 29. I don't think it is right to stop householders or tradesmen going to residential properties doing their work or going to their homes. 30. Stricter enforcement 31. lived inside the town walls until this year. Also had a business until 2 years ago when I couldn't take anymore running a guesthouse single handed and coping with shopping and irate guests arriving after a walk from a car park especially on we days when they had to go out again to get their cars and luggage. 32. No everyone enjoys how relaxed it is, the visitors love it, people with prams love it, and wheel chair owners think it is wonderful 33. All deliveries in town before 10 am or after 5.30pm all year 34. Forget it 35. Shop deliveries should occur prior to 0800 or after 2000 hours each day. 36. Perhaps the horse and cart should relocate during the pedestrianisation this sometimes courses hassle. 37. it's great 38. Dirty streets due to people eating from cafe takeaways 39. Tourist brochures advertisements and names of hotels, guesthouses, flats etc should inform would be tourists of the movement restrictions and times in their brochures to acquaint visitors of what to expect before they arrive in the town - so they can plan their journeys accordingly. 40. It isn't fair that I have to pay full rates for a property that I have no access to for most of every day. 41. If it has to be done for goodness sake do it properly and stop making the town look a joke 42. A place in the town centre to park push bikes 43. Either scrap the scheme or allow unrestricted access to residents and businesses with rigorous enforcement against others (hence my answer to 7(a) - by an all means develop the scheme but not at the expense of residents 44. Animals should be kept on the lead at all times if food is being sold and eaten in the streets. 45. My husband is over 80 yrs old and never goes to town. I am 78 and walk so traffic does not affect us. 46. We feel extremely sorry for anyone living and working within the town walls life is very different for them during the period of pedestrianisation. 47. Increase it to other busy times of the year ie Easter and Christmas - New Year. 48. Don't shilly shally about what you are going to do. Either do it or don't 49. Tables and chairs, far too many and tables too large in most cases plus strong smell of hot food 50. Markets should be in Tudor Square not amongst the traffic in South Parade. More persuasive signage park FREE park and ride is needed. 51. Zero tolerance for illegal parking at all times would obliterate need for pedestrianisation at all. 52. I do not agree with the pedestrianisation it is keeping people away from Tenby 53. it just makes life difficult for me and many others I'm sure. 54. Tenby needs to move with the times the pedestrianisation scheme gave the town a bit of continental look about it. There is a need for more off street parking places. 55. Stop parking on double yellow lines in the High Street and St Julians Street. Zero tolerance on parking. 56. Excellent scheme with the harbour pass system 57. Any visitors that I have been in contact with felt it enhances itself with pedestrianisation. 58. I do not use Tenby while the restriction is on July to end August 59. I realise that if I lived inside the town walls I might be inconvenienced but surely even they must enjoy the peace and quiet of a traffic free environment 60. As I am disabled I am unable to use the town 61. No 62. As church warden to St Mary's Church the agreement with local Police to allow cars to leave the controlled area on Sunday mornings up to 11.30 was much appreciated. 63. Inconvenience for residents in the area. 64. Can't use park and ride severe arthritis of knees so can't get up bus steps - need monitored disabled parking 65. I think it should be extended to cover all school holidays and every weekend from April to October. 66. None 67. No but I do in respect of residents parking permits- will there by a survey on this subject? 68. extend it all year round 69. What ever this survey produces, pedestrian will continue so why bother sending out this survey with all the extra cost. 70. I really feel that the access needs of residents and trades people should be given more credence. 71. Could access be granted to those holding a disabled car sticker? 72. Hearing the accordion being played in the street areas. 73. Holding national championships at Tenby sailing club is becoming a problem, with fleets not prepared to try and get through the Ped we have normal fleet sizes of 70-110 boats each boat =2 sailors 2 family on average. That stay and eat in Tenby, they just don't want to come any more and it's not us. 74. It is ok for me to give a positive view of pedestrianisation but if I was disabled or owned a business within the walled area, then my views might be somewhat different. 75. Stop paying overtime to workers to put up the signs 76. I feel it is unfair to people living within the town walls as they are unable to use their cars during that time also where are they supposed to park if they need their car eg for collecting children from school. 77. congratulations 78. Taxi's should be allowed to deposit or pick up customers 79. residents parking bays shouldn't be allowed just take away all the yellow lines in those bays and let everyone have a chance to park for 5 - 15 minutes for a quick trip into chemist, bank, shop etc can’t park anywhere now. 80. creates a good atmosphere and is safer for pedestrians but very frustrating for a local to be unable to park or board a bus to go about daily business as tourists have taken all the spaces. 81. Needs to be determined once and for all. 82. Nearly every town has some pedestrianisation so believe it probably upsets locals more than visitors. 83. Started time too early should be if at all after the children have broken up for the holidays also times should be 12 noon - 4pm 84. Tables, chairs, people eating, drinking in the gutter on kerbs not nice. also hinders me. I am 82 and need the pavements I also feel we elderly have been forgotten. 85. Generally I liked the scheme - but still had to walk on the road because the pavements are congested. 86. Most people who complain are not residents of Tenby and do not care if tourism is successful or not. 87. As a family we support the scheme as we fully realise the bottleneck which the town centre presents. In the summer obviously we resent the inconvenience such a scheme creates but acknowledge this problem must be addressed. 88. It appeared to have little effect on the traffic entering town up Greenhill 89. It is a great idea and can only increase the experience not only tourist but the residents receive. 90. Continue for Tenby lives or dies as its reputation is being a good place to holiday 91. It is good to see that residents views have been taken up this year as each of us have to live and work in Tenby all year round visitors come in august but the rest of the year sees short break visitors so residents need to be acknowledged. 92. None but I wish you would allow dogs on beach before 9am or after 6pm during summer, or that you'd enforce the ban effectively and enforce the bag it and bin it. I clear up. 93. On the whole a success. Some people are bound to be inconvenienced, but it is only July and August when there is no 'free for all!' 94. It has been positive. 95. Our visitors couldn't understand why our busy town was not pedestrianised. 96. The County Council have no right to control when we drive to and from our properties. We pay taxes for the use of these roads. 97. It is good but it could be better. It should help the business workforce and residents more. 98. Get the residents/Businesses/tradesmen onside and you are onto a winner. 99. If it is to proceed as an experiment then in 2006 Pembrokeshire County Council have got to make some real and positive changes based on residents objections. 100. Increase terminals for park and ride. 101. Scrap it and replace it with a congestion charge system but not for those living or working in the town. 102. Re-think Tenby's traffic flow in entirety before making major decisions. 103. Keep the experiment running and perhaps for a longer period of time from June? 104. People I have spoken to who live on the outskirts or who live nearby do not realise the restrictions put on residents. 105. Poor 106. It is the best thing for Tenby. 107. Parking is still a significant issue. 108. Implement the park and ride earlier to encourage workers within the town to use the scheme. Will also increase parking in the town. Better management of parking within the town particularly alongside the church and the town hall. 109. I am 93 years old and housebound - none of these questions apply to me so cannot answer! 110. Stop playing with the day to day life of Tenby! 111. Do away with it all together 112. When it is over visitors seem not to realise this and are constantly in the road. 113. We need a lot more car parking. 114. I work shifts in a nursing home, sometimes I don't finish work until after 2pm. I find it impossible to park and if I do it is not always a good thing if you have a lot of shopping to use park and ride especially with a young child. 115. Needs much better public transport to back up the scheme. 116. Occasional cars are sometimes needed and it can be dangerous when people are casually strolling and especially with young children running about. 117. Police must enforce parking and not turn a blind eye. 118. I feel living and working in Tenby to be told when and when I can't go in and out of town in my car disgraceful, I also feel it takes a lot of trade from High Street shops etc. 119. Make shorter hours 11am to 4pm 120. People who live in the town need to have more freedom and access to their homes. 121. No 122. Leave Tenby alone, spend rates payers money on other things. 123. Why are householders outside the walled town being asked to fill out the survey? Their lives are not restricted by this experiment therefore they should not be included!! 124. Clearly a difficult issue but impressed by Tenby Council for implementing the scheme. I do think it could be improved a little. 125. My wife and I are both over 70. 126. We think that property prices have decreased because of access problems. 127. Only to keep it going! 128. No 129. More traffic wardens 130. no 131. None 132. Why is the French market squashed along South Parade when Tudor Square is free from traffic. Make more of Tudor Square Market/entertainment. 133. Visitors to the town have commented on how much they enjoyed the atmosphere of the town without the traffic. 134. Could be made bigger in the area outside the town walls. In reference to question 17, I am partly disabled and use an electric mobility scooter. It was wonderful to go zooming down the street at 4 mph without the problem of ignorant cars and lorry drivers parking on the pavement and the blocking of pavement slopes for wheel chair users. Carry on this scheme. 135. From talking to people who have to run a business inside the walls they have great difficulty getting any sense from the people running the help line. I know also of people who have moved their banking to other towns and shopping habits as well thus causing a potential situation where some banks and shops may close. 136. Many vehicles enter town walls not knowing where they are going and usually end up down High Street to Harbour . Always major congestion there. 137. Keep it up 138. Please do not abandon it! It makes the summer more acceptable. 139. Should be policed more strongly, particularly traders parking not making deliveries. 140. Insufficient parking for scheme to work 141. scrap it 142. more of it 143. Tenby should be promoted as car free during this period 144. Until we can control the weather it will never have the appeal of the Mediterranean culture, and I feel so sorry for the walled town residents (unless in business. 145. No, overall it makes visiting Tenby a far more enjoyable place to visit in the summer. 146. Ignore the pressures from traders, this is not about what is convenient for them, but about quality of life for all. 147. Yes, stop the traffic altogether apart from residents and deliveries. 148. People in Tenby are very shallow minded a lot of the time, they do not like change. This is the best thing that Tenby has ever don’t. We do need traffic wardens in the winter as well because the locals keep abusing the parking. 149. To have a park and ride further out of town (new hedges area), to help traffic congestion around the whole Tenby area, not just the town centre. 150. It cuts local residents off from their homes, and cuts local businesses off from their businesses. 151. See question 9 and 10 this combined with a 10 mph speed restriction would work. People have got to be able to get on with their lives. 152. The comprehensive scheme is ill-equipped to deal with the demands of the competing needs of other groups. 153. Mainly very successful 154. Most people that did not like pedestrianisation are old Tenby families who don’t like change and who don’t always have a clue about what is going on in Tenby. I think that it is great and it makes Tenby seem like a more classy place. 155. Would like more hours. 156. Allow all small slow moving invalid carriages. 157. Re-think the one-way system idea, and about getting more parking spaces. 158. More positive than negative effects. 159. Don’t do it. 160. You are only interested in pubs making money, and traffic wardens making money. 161. Homeowners only have passes, and emergency vehicles. 162. The town is too small to warrant it. It is far better to concentrate on illegal parking, and to find better car parking in Tenby. I am against any park and ride in New hedges, although a seasonal (August only) one in Kilgetty would be helpful to day visitors. 163. Better signage needed. We saw buses going up the Norton and causing chaos as they tried to negotiate the town at the Gatehouse hotel. We saw too many cars going through barriers pretending that they had the right to do so. I saw three in ten mins one morning. One man assumed that because he had a disabled sticker he could drive into town. 164. Would like to see park and ride buses extended. 165. As usual more traffic wardens are needed so that the outer areas can be covered as well, especially outside Somerfields and The Norton. 166. Pedestrianisation must stay. 167. Other than the safety aspects that I have mentioned, I think that it is good for Tenby. 168. No dog wardens? 169. It is good for the town. 170. Yes, shop in Narberth. 171. Yes, put it back the way it used to be. 172. Put the fountain back, more floral displays in town centre. Do away with pavements in Tudor square (put bollards?). Keep town cleaner and fresher. 173. Tables and chairs to far out into the roads. Litter- new sweeper works just before 5pm, but more collecting required during the day, maybe cafe owners ought to be responsible for their area. 174. I feel despite the views of many short sighted people in Tenby the scheme is very successful and should continue. If other school holidays were included I feel this would enhance the town further. 175. Forget the pedestrianisation scheme and have stronger enforcement for restrictions. 176. If residents were allowed access things would greatly improve. 177. Wise up and get it sorted out to the satisfaction of all the residents (inside and outside walls). If this can not be done bite the bullet and scrap it. 178. Carry on. 179. I like it. 180. Overall it is a definite benefit to the town, enjoyed by visitors and locals alike. As someone who never drove within the walls and always parked outside it is lovely for me. 181. The effect of litter is still a problem during this period. A good scheme if only adequate parking could be provided. 182. Keep it up, we need this otherwise larger pavements would have to be introduced. 183. Tudor square is very bare. Is it time to bring back the fountain and trees to the centre of the square? There would need to be no cars parked to allow the movement of lorries. 184. It should continue because the pros outweigh the cons, for example pollution cuts, more space for locals and visitors and a good atmosphere. 185. Need to have more signs around town telling people that the town is pedestrianised between certain times. 186. It would not be required if existing parking regulations were enforced. Why not have one person on Lion corner to prevent all those who do not know why or where they are going, from entering town (40% of people according to the survey). 187. Must keep it going. 188. Extend the period of time by 2hours. Make more use of Tudor square. This should have been introduced years ago. 189. The parking problem is by far the biggest headache for both residents and guests, if this was addressed the scheme would be 100% success. 190. The French market should be held in Tudor Square and not along the parade where traffic is going passed. People have to walk on the road because the stalls take up the pavement space. Please next year have the market in the Square. It works elsewhere like Carmarthen. 191. I think that some sort of system needs to be set up for town use before the restrictions come into place. 192. No. 193. The month of June should be included. 194. Why cant the people living in Tenby live in the future, this kind of thing happens all over the UK without problems and what a waste of time and money to keep sending out these surveys every year. 195. The traffic wardens should be increased and their powers should be increased, any abuse towards them by motorists should be punished by fine. There was abuse of access by a certain business in High street at its narrowest point. 196. There is no alternative in a town that was built before cars. 197. Build a multi story car park on South Cliff car park. 198. Worthwhile, but hours should be expanded and less concessions given to motorists. 199. Restrict the area to the centre, allow circulation of traffic to the centre. Remove your helpline to the man on the spot, which is the senior traffic warden on duty with a mobile phone (with the number advertised) and a bike - to deal with problems with common sense and appreciation of their urgency. 200. It is a worthy project, failing only because of the lack of parking spaces (again). 201. I am sure that my answers would be different if I lived in the walled town. After all it is only a few weeks and it boosts visitors. 202. It is a pointless exercise, money wasting and dam inconvenient if you live in the town walls, fortunately do not. 203. Pedestrianisation is a must throughout the summer, otherwise the town centre would be jammed with vehicles. 204. Even though we live outside the town walls we are both against the fact the people living within the walls cannot come and go in their cars as they please, and visitors cannot come to the hotels between 11am and 5pm in their cars. 205. As a disabled person myself I found it hard to get into the town after 4pm. People with cars parked in disabled places with no disabled sticker. 206. Yes, I wish that it was from May bank holiday until the children go back to school in September. 207. Keep up the good work. 208. No. 209. Officer needed at the end of pedestrianisation to tell people that it has ended, and that they can no longer walk in the middle of the road. 210. Residents are put to a great deal of inconvenience for the benefit of holiday makers, that are usually only here for a week at a time. The residents pay Council tax all year round. 211. I am unable to travel into town, but the scheme was of great benefit to me, providing there is proper access to the shops and the pavements are kept clear. 212. Tables and chairs should not be too close together. 213. Useless!!!!!!! 214. Please continue. Where would everyone walk or sit if the cars went back onto the road, The fumes, pollution? Tenby has become a friendlier place. 215. Due to the time restrictions all deliveries were made around the same time which caused grid lock on many days. 216. Yes. All over the country they are trying to get drunks off the street, and the council are putting them on the street with their cafe culture. 217. More parking for shoppers (short stay), if this is not provided people will go out of town to do their shopping. 218. When the town is very busy the police are hiding, you are lucky to spot one. In Tenby they are an endangered species. 219. Resident permits must be re issued and enforced. 220. There are two shops in the High Street that deliver and their lively hood depends on their services. They should be allowed to load and unload and move out at slow speeds. All they are is a few yards from the main entrance. 221. I am unsure why this survey is sent out as last survey was obviously ignored. 222. It should be permanent. 223. See question 9. A good one way system would improve traffic permanently. I would also recommend speed cameras at Norton/ White Lion street junction, and Upper frog street. See enclosure for suggested system. 224. Put a free cash point at the Salterns. 225. I am sceptical about whether anyone even reads this, all the feedback last year that I read in the press was so positive, I know mine and a few others were not. 226. Town walled residents should be permitted to drive. These passes should be given out very carefully or too many people will be driving around. Tougher, more thorough controls, but they should be allowed. 227. The experiment has failed. I would like to return to the situation before the changes. 228. Get rid of it, but get a traffic warden. Proper signs for car parks and encourage beach visitors to use Salterns and North beach. 229. No, we stay away. 230. I and my family have personally enjoyed the atmosphere of Tenby during pedestrianisation. It is a huge improvement on children falling off the edges of pavements into the paths of cars and vans, and the streets chocked with vehicles trying to negotiate the narrow streets and get around parked cars. It is also excellent to be free of car exhaust fumes and air pollution. However I do appreciate that it does present some inconvenience to the residents of Tenby. 231. Experience to be extended during the year. 232. Not really. 233. Keep it going. 234. People who want cafe culture go to Europe. We should offer a Welsh experience. 235. Just have noise levels turned down at night (after 11pm). Do we really need late night drinking? Stop double yellow line parking and waiting at all times. This should involve the High Street day and night. 236. Please ask holiday companies to promote it positively. If I know in advance that I was going to stay in a traffic free town, I would be delighted (but I probably would choose not to stay if I had a mobility problem). If everybody is made aware truthfully about the restrictions there would not be any re-percussions. 237. Put a stop to it. 238. I think that the times could be 10 am to 6 pm and also 1st June to the 30th September. I avoid the town when the scheme is not on place. 239. Just keep it as it is. 240. I really hope that it continues. 241. Basically consider the people who live here rather than tourists who are only here for a couple of months on the year. 242. Policing by wardens should be outside the walls where the traffic is. Lack of supervision of the use of invalid bays and loading bays had an adverse affect on business. 243. A public enquiry is essential to determine the necessity for these experiments, and what form of pedestrianisation is required for a permanent scheme. 244. Present changes to paving in the High street prejudge outcome of this survey. A reasonable solution is required to gain support of residents. 245. It makes the town feel more relaxed. 246. Locals avoid Tenby in High season, knowing the difficulty of accessing shops. Disabled parking bays are often misappropriated by opportunist, physically fit drivers. 247. I wish Pembrokeshire county council would use the same energy to enhance the South beach area and insist on properties in the town to be kept at least in good visual condition eg the Gate House hotel and colour of paint on the Coach and Horses. 248. Extend scheme to cover the month of June and bank holidays from Easter until August bank holiday. 249. I hope that it continues. 250. Help for the elderly and disabled of whom many visit in Tenby, maybe other transport could be offered such as cycle taxis free to the over 65's and disabled badge holders, and extend the use of horse drawn transport to cover park and ride through Tenby harbour stopping for residents if necessary. 251. It gives the people of Tenby a spell without drivers speeding and parking without thinking of people without cars. 252. You are pushing traffic to other parts of Tenby, congestion is everywhere, particularly dangerous by the fire station. 253. No. 254. The walled town should be made traffic free all year round. Tradesmen should be permit controlled and one vehicle for each business, access strictly controlled. 255. It worked very well. 256. We have a large number of people using our property, all have some disability, mixed reaction to pedestrianisation. 257. Any vehicles allowed access is dangerous as no one expects the odd car to come through town. Do not allow it. 258. If continued deduction in council tax should be made. 259. Something has to be done to tackle the traffic problem in a different way. 260. Far too strict rules. Illegal to prevent people to have unrestricted access to their homes. 261. Please may it continue. 262. Our comments are useless. PCC have set preconceived ideas made by those outside the area who are not directly effected. 263. I think that it is one of the most damaging schemes ever inflicted on the town by Councilors who do not live in the town, with little consideration of residents. 264. Make it permanent, every year.. 265. Very difficult if taken ill, cant take car out, I was faced with calling an ambulance last summer as I needed to move fast. 266. Let the residents that want freedom of access design a scheme to keep them happy whilst restricting visitor traffic. 267. If the question of access for residents can be successfully resolved. Pedestrianisation can be welcomed for the busiest part of the season. 268. Difficulty conducting ones work from having only one trip in & out per day. 269. Why have you not consulted the residents? Don’t say you have because you have not. 270. Worked very well. 271. Large delivery lorries should be permanently banned. 272. Yes. Have you ran an experiment without it being during the summer months recently to test the difference? 273. It must be a permanent arrangement. 274. You have not asked the number of people in our household or their ages or if they drive a car! Undertake a social impact assessment as soon as possible to quantify charges in the social failure of the town. Family life is very hard now to have the freedom it requires. 275. It makes it almost impossible for people coming by public transport with luggage and discriminates against elderly and disabled residents. 276. I agree with TWTRA view, but is anyone at the council listening. 277. The County Council has acted badly in bringing pedestrianisation to Tenby. 278. There has to be a better way! 279. Its Hilling Tenby! 10 years of this and Tenby will become Wales most 280. We think it should begin and end on a Saturday and preferably cover at least the whole of July, August and until the term begins in September. 281. Yes, I have a business in town and on Friday mornings the traffic is very dangerous, car mount the pavement right outside the shops so you could possibly walk out of a shop straight into a car or van. Traffic wardens must keep an eye on this. 282. I do not think it will attract more visitors. 283. Seldom go into Tenby only by car. I have not noticed the pedestrianisation experiment. 284. Mark out Herring Bone parking spaces in Tudor to double the available parking and eliminate double parking which causes serious congestion and ill feeling when people parked alongside kerbs cannot get out. All deliveries should be completed before 9.00 am particularly when pedestrianisation is in force. 285. Its good. 286. Canada has a license system for traders and residents. Maybe it would help in any compromise. 287. Excellent. 288. Offer Park & Ride from outside areas i.e. fields, New Hedges area for instance. 289. Outside the walls on street parking should be for everyone with a 2 hour restriction. This would enable local people to get into Tenby do shopping etc and get out again. Between 11-5 the restriction could be as they were for this year. 290. Keep it going. 291. I am a disabled pension and walk with a stick. I was almost knocked down by youths riding bicycles in a restricted area. This should be stopped before someone gets hurt. Children are at risk. A police presence would be nice. 292. There have been many meetings and consultations but it appears that none of the views or comments expressed have been listened to. 293. We are harbour users. We have a boat. We cannot use the harbour for launching when the scheme is operational. Likewise holiday makers with boats what is the definition of a harbour user and how do we get a permit. 294. We appreciated being allowed a few minutes extra to leave church after 11.00 am on Sundays by car from St Marys. 295. As a pedestrian living outside the town walls and lucky enough to have guaranteed resident parking it was not a problem. I can appreciate however the immense problems for other residents. 296. I am sorry I cannot answer your questionnaire as I have been unable to get into the town for almost a year. 297. Just do it. 298. We would like the experiment all year round. 299. I trust these will be taken seriously and not just filed away in the bin! 300. We have even had holiday makers driving into our road (Haytor Gardens) asking where they can park/access town! We have 2 sets of friends who have moved from within walls because of this. 301. Many people thinking twice about buying property within the walls. Will soon become a "holiday home" ghost town. 302. Have never agreed with it. Roads are too narrow and dangerous when chairs and tables are set out. 303. I have no intention to fill in yet another form about this topic. No notice is taken of what local people think. 304. Extend the experiment from beginning of May to end of September. 305. Problems for residents and trades people and businesses. 306. Some relatives visited me and walked into Tenby. I had told them that a park and ride system operated from the Salterns (they drove that far) when they wanted to return they waited for half an hour in town but no bus came at 6.00 pm. Why doesn’t it go from Kiln Park? What times does it operate? 307. Have 11-5 pedestrianisation all year round. 308. Stick with it. It is very good for Tenby. 309. On the few occasions I did go into town I found it very nice not to have to worry about traffic. 310. Going back to your question 7f, this is a blatantly skewed question. Where is the option for no access to tradesmen, taxis and so on. If you allow such access it will be abused. This is Tenby! 311. PCC far too inflexible and doesn’t seem open to positive suggestions. 312. While we have pedestrianisation why is not the town centre used for the street markets instead of the parade, other pedestrianised areas do so quite happily. 313. Six weeks when children are off school is ample. Two months is too long! 314. It should remain in force. 315. As an experiment it was worth a try but it has clearly not been the answer to the problems. 316. I have always agreed with pedestrianisation. Perhaps include the month of June. 317. The walled town should be made traffic free all year. Tradesmen should be permit controlled and one vehicle/job and business access restricted. 318. Driving into town after traffic was re-admitted in the evenings pedestrians relied on drivers stopping as they continued to walk in the road and step onto the road without looking for traffic. 319. I think it is a waste of money. Local ratepayers should have the final say not remote bureaucrats. 320. Re. all of the forgoing, please remember the unusually high number of elderly feeble people living in this area. Most of those who need them have blue badges in order to allow the special access that they need. I haven’t spoken to anybody who is happy with this experiment. 321. No 322. Why not make Butts Field into a multistorey car park which would increase the number of spaces for cars needed when the hospital opens anyway. Still leave plenty of spaces for coaches. Do not listen to the few who moan we must move forward before Tenby collapses under the weight of traffic. Do not allow brewers drays into town walls after 9.00 am at any time of the year. 323. Please extend its time over the holiday season 11.00-17.00 I think is ok. I have some sympathy for residents within the walled area maybe a special route could be planned for residents/contractors etc., to take but I think this is the main problem to overcome. 324. Keep trying to obtain a compromise. 325. I would love to see this 12 months of the year. Anybody who can walk around town should do. 326. Pedestrianisation was talked about for 30 years with no action. It has been an outstanding success this last 4 years so why go to the expense of this survey. Just continue. 327. Although we don’t live within the town walls now, we used to when the pedestrianisation scheme was in force and we know how it can restrict you. It would have been nice to have had a permit to allow us through the town during the pedestrianisation times even if we had paid for it. We paid a lot of money a year to live there and to be restricted to using your car through the town is wrong. 328. If Tesco comes to New Hedges I won't shop in Tenby as it will be easier to drive 2 miles up the road!! - then what of the town! APPENDIX TWELVE QUESTION: Where is your home located: 1.
