Latest.........At a packed Pater Community Hall last night 3rd August 2006 our mayor Councillor Sue Perkins chaired a lively debate on the County Councils decision to force though car parking charges in Pembroke Dock. Sue was supported by a host of elected members including our MP Nick Anger, AM Christine Gwyther, County Councillors Kate Becton and Tony Wilcox also giving there support were members of Pembroke Dock Town Council, Phil Gwyther, David Jones, Don Esmond, Ron Watts, Veronica Roach, Pam George, Paul Weatherall and Kevin Higgs.

The meeting was surprised to learn that the issue of Parking Charges for Pembroke Dock had not been taken by either the Town Council or the full County Council BUT by the Cabinet group at Pembrokeshire County Council, many of the participants felt that "democracy within Pembrokeshire County Council was non-existent".

Councillor Sue Perkins asked especially the business community to put there feelings in writing to Pembrokeshire County Council.

The meeting closed with a unanimous vote of agreement with our elected members present to fight with gusto the action of Pembrokeshire County Council to force through Parking Charges here in Pembroke Dock

The Project team have learned that the area's Pembrokeshire County Council are proposing to introduce parking charges within Pembroke Dock are to include Lower Meyrick Street and we understand the car park near to the Library.

Residents and traders may wish to write to the County Council if they object to charges being introduced.

There is a time limit for objections which is 21 days from when the notice is issued by the County Council.
