Among matters discussed during a recent meeting of Pennar and Bufferland Community Association were the following:

Some progress with smoothing out the road surfaces of Pembroke Dock: It was reported that the road into the retail park where B&Q, Argos and McDonald's did business had been resurfaced at long last! So now, the association is hoping that Treowen Road and Milton Terrace (especially on the steep hill section) would receive some attention.

Reinstating the Pembroke River beach clean: A member asked if the members were willing to re-engage with the earlier efforts to keep the north shoreline of the Pembroke River free of drinks cans, bottles, discarded fishing gear and other rubbish. Clr. Tony Wilcox said that he would arrange a beach clean on a weekend taking the tide table/low water times into account.

Hopes of a military involvement in the town's bicentenary celebrations: Clr. Maureen Colgan said that the organisers of the Pembroke Dock bicentenary celebrations were in talks with senior MOD personnel about the possibility of staging a military tattoo within the old defensible barracks. Negotiations were still at an early stage, but if successful, such an event could do much to re-establish the town's historic connections with all three of the armed forces, and bring 'PD' to wider public attention.
