Plans for Saundersfoot’s Sensory Garden to reflect the seaside village’s history with coal mining have been discussed by local councillors.

At the most recent meeting of the Community Council, members heard from County Councillor Chris Williams who discussed the proposal of miner trucks being placed in the Sensory Garden.

Cllr Dean Ludlow discussed the agreement with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to improve the Sensory Garden (through a £15k grant funded project), and highlighted his concerns that the proposal of miner trucks being placed there could impact on the secured funding.

Councillors discussed the benefits of the proposal of miner trucks to be placed in the sensory garden to the history of Saundersfoot, with Cllr Williams confirming that the funding is in place for such a project.

Cllr Ludlow said he would contact National Parks to discuss the possibility of merging the two projects together - and securing both funding pots.

The Sensory Garden which sits next to the harbour, which together with the Coal Office building - was the operations centre of the coal industry in the area.

The Coal Office was built in 1860 and was the operations hub of the Saundersfoot Railway and Harbour Company.
