We have formed a Coastcare group with help from Keep Wales Tidy and look after the river bank and the beach at the bottom of Ferry Road and along the Pembroke river.

The Pennar Coastcare Group will meet at 10am on Saturday 22nd September at the bottom of Ferry Road, Pennar for an hour of litter picking along the river. All Welcome. Litter pickers provided!

More information from Maggie Thomas 01646 686721

We hold regular litter picks to remove rubbish and litter and the group has bought some litter pickers, like robot arms, so our backs don't ache! The council will collect any bags or other rubbish from the beach. If you want to help on a Saturday morning, please ask when the next event is planned. We usually work from 10-12 noon and then have sandwiches and a chat at The Sherlock Holmes!

Pembroke River is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are extensive areas of saltmarsh and mudflats which support migratory waterfowl and waders such as wigeon, shelduck, curlew, and oyster catchers. There are also nationally rare and scarce plants. Otters use the river for resting and feeding.

If you see anyone dumping rubbish anywhere please contact Pembrokeshire County Council. Offenders can be prosecuted. If you want to help with our next Coastcare event please come along to the next meeting or contact one of the group.

PENNAR AND BUFFERLAND COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Are you a poop scooper?

Dog mess is unpleasant on our streets and footpaths. We need everyone to help to make Pennar and Bufferland a clean place for children to play and for us all to walk. If your dog fouls in a public place – please clean it up. Bagged dog waste can be placed in any litter bin.

Some tips for dog owners

Always remember to carry a poop bag
Dispose of the bag in your dustbin
Always clean up after your dog
Your dog should be taken out to exercise, not to foul
Teach your dog to foul in your garden
Try to make sure that your dog never fouls in public places
Remember you could be guilty of an offence if you fail to remove and dispose of your dog faeces
Worm your dog – dogs that are not wormed regularly can carry infections

If you need more advice, contact our local Dog Warden
