Plans to spruce-up an area of Tenby next to the North Beach are taking shape, with plans to introduce a special seaside mural in the pipeline.

An enthusiastic group of Duke of Edinburgh candidates from Greenhill School came down to the zigzag leading down to North Beach last week, and did a brilliant job litter picking and scrubbing the floors and walls of the space that used to be an arcade.

“This is the first stage to the community project aimed at making it a much nicer place which people will be able to use for a picnic when it rains, or just as a meeting point,” said Tenby’s community engagement officer Anne Draper of the ‘Urban Thinkscape’ project.

“One of the next steps to do is to paint most of the walls bright colours, with a portion at the end in blackboard paint to act as a graffitti wall.

“The idea is to have a mural over a lot of the walls with a coastal theme.

“It would be great if people could send in drawings or paintings, digital or on paper, that they have done, with a coastal theme, to be part of this mural.”

Tom Moses of the CWBR Youth project (PLANED) was also involved, with the group from Greenhill accompanied by youth workers Leah Walker, Chloe Lewis and Miss Fay John (SWEET teacher).
