VISITORS and harbour users in Tenby are being asked to take care while dredging work is carried out at the harbour entrance next week.
Sand will be removed from the mouth of Tenby Harbour and deposited at the northern end of North Beach. The work is not expected to affect vessel movements in the harbour.
Operations will begin on Monday (Mar 16) and are scheduled to continue until Wednesday (Mar 18).
Tenby Harbourmaster Chris Salisbury confirmed that the necessary licence for the dredging work is in place.
He said: “We ask that members of the public keep clear of the operating area while the machinery is in use and that dogs are kept on a lead during this time.”
Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services at Pembrokeshire County Council, said the work was essential to keep the harbour functioning properly.
“I’m grateful to our officers for carrying out this work at Tenby Harbour,” he said. “The dredging is essential for the continued operation of the harbour.
“The timing has been dictated by the tides, and these dates represented the final opportunity to complete the work before boats are returned to the water.”
