Row over 'ill-conceived' plan for coastal road, as costs rise
Western Mail
|April 30, 2025
PEMBROKESHIRE council has been urged to work with locals on a “more cost-effective, environmentally sensitive solution” after the launch of a consultation into a potential multi-million-pound inland realignment of a seaside road.
The consultation is part of the Newgale Coastal Adaptation Project’s first phase, which includes plans for a new inland section of road with a bridge over Brandy Brook, replacing the coastal section of A487 at Newgale that will be closed and removed.
Newgale was severely affected by flooding after storms in 2014 and again during Storm Dennis in 2020.
In 2014, David Cameron, the Prime Minister at the time, visited the area as part of a UK tour to “learn lessons” from the storms and flooding that year.
