Find out more about Coastal Adaptation Project as plans for Newgale progress

The Newgale Coastal Adaption Project has been underway for some time. Through ongoing engagement and information gathering, proposals have now evolved.

At this next phase, the Council wants to share its thoughts and ideas at engagement sessions that will be taking place on Wednesday, 29^th January and Saturday, 1^st February.

Those involved in the Pembrokeshire County Council led project will be on hand to explain the scheme elements making up Phase 1 of the project and answer questions. It is also a chance to share your views with the team.

A key aim of the project is to make sure Newgale is supported to become a resilient community that can adapt to a changing coastline and climate.

The Council has appointed AtkinsRéalis to help with the development of the project due to their fully integrated and specialist environmental services.

The first phase has four main scheme elements – rerouting the Newgale section of the A487, creating a new walking and cycling path through the village, changing access to the beach and coastal businesses and releasing space for the beach to naturally adapt to coastal change.

Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Cabinet Member for Resident Services said: “As this project moves forward, we hope that members of the public take the opportunity to find out more about the proposed scheme and are able to comment directly to staff involved in its development.”
