Renewed calls have been made for Tenby’s Prince Albert to be given a good wash!

The memorial statue that sits on Castle Hill was the focal point last year for the seaside town’s beacon lighting ceremony to mark the Queen’s 70th Platinum Jubilee.

However, many commented at the time how the statue was in need of a spruce-up.

County councillor for Tenby’s north ward Cllr Michael Williams has contacted Pembrokeshire County Council’s environmental services operations manager Neil McCarthy this week to ask if Albert could be power washed.

Mr McCarthy reported back that he was awaiting a meeting with a local company who deal with specialist cleaning of historic monuments.

“Unfortunately, as its Grade 2 listed it would need specialist treatment and not something we could do ourselves. I will keep reminding the company regarding the works,” he stated.
