Pembroke Town Councillor Linda Asman informed Council when they last met that, in her opinion, the state of the town’s ponds is always of great concern.

“Regarding the Castle Pond, the wildflowers have gone but the grass cutters are leaving the weeds, and the place looks terrible. I am also concerned about the abundant growth of ivy on the South Quay wall which adds to the overall impression of neglect.”

As for the main millpond, a report is still awaited about incursions on the north bank by householders and the cutting down of trees.

Following a discussion, with suggestions of forming a working group, the comments were noted and the Clerk agreed tospeak to the maintenance team of Pembrokeshire County Council.
