Pembroke Conservation Area

Gross failures by Pembrokeshire County Council Conservation Area Enforcment.
This traditional Pembrokeshire Cottage was sound and habitable, until it was bought by a developer, who applied to demolish it to incorporated it in a massive redevelopment which was turned down. It is now being deliberately neglected following the example set by PCC owned properties . What a waste.
OCTOBER the cottage has now been tidied up and repaired.Conservation Area recent plastic door
How to destroy a limestone lime mortar traditional building, remove the render repoint with ribbon cement mortar guaranteed to fail within twenty years and dissolve the lime mortar infill, making the inside incurably damp.By order of PCC Building requirements.
And again.
PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL GO AND HAVE A LOOK AT ST FLORENCE

Tudor House Pembroke

South Haven Developments have shown what can be done to Conserve and enhance the Conservation Area of Pembroke.

Pembroke East End Square

The last remaining greenery at the End of Main Street to be removed to save micro seconds
for the traffic to the new REPLACEMENT POWER STATION.
The manager has told me that this is not necessary as all heavy plant is to come in by sea for the construction of the new station.
He is very unhappy that the power station is to be used as an excuse for further environmental vandalism by Pembrokeshire County Council.

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.

The false front of Pembrokeshire County Council

In the Conservation Area these properties are to be demolished to allow the Dark Way to be widened to speed the traffic, when the obvious answer is to introduce a 20 mph speed limit within the Conservation Area.The years of deliberate neglect by Pembrokeshire County Council (owners) This cosmetic paint job with plywood windows and doors is their answer. These buildings surround the Castle and provide a dignified setting.
These buildings have been open to the weather for decades to decay so far that local people call for their demolition. Planned for 2010 or 2011.
A working group of of PCC meet the developers.

Hidden History

In the early part of the war preparations were made to hold up invaders.At the north end of the Mill Bridge temporary concrete blocks were rolled into the road to block the traffic. When invasion was not feared the blocks were rolled over the side into the Castle Pond, through a gap in the parapet.They can be seen at the foot of the Cornstore Quay, when the pond is drained

Castle Pond Pembroke

When the pond was drained for the Annual Inspection of the Barrage, the water was black and anoxic, there were adults and children swimming in the foul water, reminiscent of a third world country shanty town.
