P-04-363 – Town Centre Improvement Scheme for Fishguard

Thank you for your correspondence.

My response is that I find the ministers reply very strange when the Welsh Assembly Government agreed in the North Pembrokeshire Regeneration of 2003 specific funding for this project.  I have enclosed a copy of this plan and I would refer you to page 12 of that report - Section C: 

The construction of a town centre relief road, site assembly, development of a new school, the provision of a quality supermarket and extensive upgrading of the principal streets with traffic calming is estimated to be in the order of £11M. WAG will invest about £1.5M for the relief road plus £1M for land assembly and environmental improvements.

Now we are being told that this relief road is not included in any budget. The 2.5m which is mentioned above would be sufficient to deliver the new road and safe pavements for all.  Fishguard is simply requesting that it receive what it was promised in 2003.

Regards

Bob Kilmister
