Preseli Pembrokeshire Assembly Member Paul Davies is calling on the Welsh Government to deal with the lack of a footpath in Eglwyswrw. Along with local residents, Mr Davies is campaigning for a pavement along a stretch of the TRA487 through the village. Approval was given back in 2004 for the Eglwyswrw Phase 2 Village Footpath scheme to go ahead, and there are still no signs of development.
Mr Davies said, "I'm extremely disappointed that the Welsh Government has not acted on this very important issue. Residents are right to be concerned about the dangers posed to the community – and particularly school children and elderly people, in this part of the village. Approval for a footpath scheme was given some nine years ago and it's absurd to see no actual development since that time. I will continue to make representations to the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport urging her to finally start work on a new footpath for the area."
