Frustrations over bus services in the locality underperforming, have been relayed to county councillors in Pembrokeshire.

Cllr Chris Williams who represents the south ward of Saundersfoot has reported that local Councillors have received a number of concerns regarding the performance of the 381 bus service since it has been taken over by First Cymru.

“We have also had some concerns regarding the 302 and 349 that are also operated by First Cymru. There have been numerous concerns from local residents that the service isn’t reliable, drivers are unfriendly and that vehicles breakdown,” he said.

“This is being reported to PCC from residents and First Cymru did produce a proposed new timetable to try and elevate the timing issues.

“However, due to the feedback from service users as part of the consultation, this has not been taken forward. There will be further meetings to try and resolve the issues.

“Our view as councillors, is that the current service being provided isn’t acceptable and desperately needs to improve to support the wellbeing of residents who heavily rely on this service to get around,” continued Cllr Williams, who added that local residents that rely on this service ‘deserve better’.
