‘Eyesore’ blue bins removed from alongside Tenby’s iconic town walls last summer, have now reappeared it was pointed out again this week, with local councillors reiterating their concerns on the matter.

Councillors in Tenby met with Pembrokeshire County Council’s head of environment and civil contingencies Richard Brown last summer to try and find a solution to the controversial food waste bins being placed in the vicinity by some businesses along the South Parade, with complaints over the bins being an eyesore, and the ‘smell and grease’ that was emanating from them

Mr. Brown confirmed that a solution to the matter had been sought, leading to the bins eventually being removed, after a compromise had been reached between the premises’ and the trade waste control team.

Now the bins are back, local councillors raised the matter again at their meeting on Tuesday night.

“There are still blue bins on the South Parade, when they shouldn’t be there,” Clr. Laurence Blackhall told his colleagues.

“Businesses elsewhere in the town that don’t have storage work out a way to take their waste off site, so if they have a solution, then why can’t these premises?

“We are a medieval town so they have to deal with it. I don’t see any other reason for doing it. Tenby’s iconic town walls certainly shouldn’t have these blue bins in front of them!” he continued.

“There is now a line of them up against the walls, just left there week to week, with other people now using them to fill them with their rubbish,” said the Deputy Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown.

“These businesses have got access to their own yards. They are not doing a lot to help us as a town!” she remarked.

The town clerk Andrew Davies told members that PCC were aware of the matter occurring again, but were ‘struggling to find a remedy’ he said.
