East End Square Pembroke Demolition of parts of St Michaels Church Hall

There is a planning application 09/0324/CA to widen the road to the east of the square to speed the traffic through the square down Well Hill. Already the traffic drives far too fast through the square. A convoy of light tanks bound for the Range at Castlemartin all made the temporary speed sign flash and show thirty five and forty,before roaring past the relocated Golden Grove School.
ANY PEDESTRIANS LIVING TO THE EAST OF HOLYLAND ROAD/WELL HILL HAVE TO CROSS AT THE SQUARE TO REACH PEMBROKE
The road is now narrow which slows the traffic but it is still a very dangerous road to cross.
In the published plans there is no provision for pedestrians or cyclists, although the scheme is proposed by PCC for the benefit of pedestrians and cyclists.(from documents attached to the planning application)

The scheme is promoted by Councillors as part of their long held scheme of bringing Pembroke into her version of the twenty first century by speeding up the through traffic
WHEN WHAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING IS THAT A TWENTY MILE AN HOUR LIMIT BE IMPOSED WITHIN THE CONSERVATION AREA.
