Quits Mill Pill Pembroke SSI


The person involve was visited by Natural Resources Wales and told to cease desist and restore.
Immediately the work appears to be extended.  A large pool has been excavated and the spoil removed. The streams deepened and widened. The slip deepened.
Whoever, seems to accept a Pembrokeshire nod and a wink, that PCC has
no money to enforce.

Freedom of Information request from PCNPA they are not competent to comment on terra forming activities within the national park.
This is the lane alongside the recently cleared areas showing the trees similar to those removed.

Dead no life  two flocks seagulls and one of corvids gathering in massed flocks on the ground in the middle f bare fields with no hedge rows.

To speed petrol diesel and LPG carrying tankers


These were stretches of roads which have never had an accident and made tankers to and from the refinery to slow down before Pembroke and other villages.
these slow spots have over thirty years been made straight the tankers now drive at the maximum for the speed limits intimidating other vehicles by tailgating or making on coming traffic give way.
We need a 20mph limit within settlement boundaries.

Pembroke about to be lost for ever


 The Chip Shop Modern addition removed exposing early rubble lime mortar structure TO BE REMOVED TO BE REPLACED BY ONE PLATE GLASS
 Hacked off recent faux stone cladding to be replaced by uniform shabitat losing all sense of placed.
From a Medieval  through Georgian walled town with many listed buildings a uniform tidy up losing all that is unique to Pembroke/
A cheap pastiche to lowest possible taste with inferior materials.
This property need repairs but not the destruction of the curved glass windows to be replaced by faux good taste cheap windows
BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE WORKS TO THE EAST END OF MAIN STREET WERE CARRIED OUT BY ROADS WITH NO LISTING OR CONSERVATION INPUT WHAT SO EVER.
THE CONDEMS ARE WREAKING THEIR REVENGE ON EVERY CONSERVATION IMPOSED LAW

National Trust Stackpole Health and Safety, Duty of Care. Failure

A rock cutting recently trees have been cleared to form a car park creating an open spaced in closely packed etiolate trees. When the wind blows the rocks in which the trees are rooted crack and move.
A disaster waiting to happen.

Trewent Farm Freshwater East within the PCNP



I thought we had seen the end of such schemes with Thatcher.
Pristine wetland oak wood  cleared to be used to raise sheep, for commercial gain.
Biologicaly and economicaly marginal.
Hedges are being removed watercourses are being canalised.
PCNP say not me guv Natural Resources Wales who repeat the mantra .

Freshwater West



Normaly covered by feet of sand now showing the underlying rock structure

National Trust

Stackpole Estate held a consultation meeting on the ninth, no publicity only locals from the estate invited despite all promises to be open and transparent.
So much for consultation with members and concerned locals.

Quoits Mill

What can happen to an SSI unless someone intervenes. The works were carried out over weeks to allow the fresh spoil to be dispersed, after much telephoning Natural Wales has taken responsibility and told the perpetrator to desist, it remains to be seen if he does The open water used to be dotted with small islands a refuge for many migratory birds.
