Heritage and Town Environment Group
Pembroke Town Trail
Many people wanted to see the history of Pembroke brought to the attention of visitors and residents alike, so as to instil civic pride. In partnership with the Civic Trust (who produced the original town trail) a new Town Trail leaflet has been produced. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, especially Judy and St John Stimson, Gwen and Brian Griffiths, George Lewis and Gene Rycroft.
ABOUT OUR GROUP
Since the inception of Pembroke 21C in 2000, the Group has dealt with the priority topics raised by the community in the “Future Search” exercise conducted by PLANED - SPARC as it was back in those days
The first of these were the provistion of
- A noticeboard outside the Town Hall, provided with the support of the Pembroke Rotary Club, Texaco Ltd. And a Community Pride Grant from Planed. The Pembroke Town Council has generously operated the board and provided the electricity to illuminate.
- A bus shelter/seat at Somerfield.
The Group also helped establish the Millpond Group, the History Society, the Town Walls Society and the Museum Group.
Ongoing projects involve working with other bodies to achieve a better environment and image for Pembroke:
Renovation of the old and vandalised information panel in Station car park; enhancing neglected areas of town, landscaping at Monkton Bridge and by the cycle track at Rocky Park; better facilities for visitors and residents, better colour schemes for buildings in the town; suitable re development of South Quay and improved street furniture etc. The group is also supporting the Pembroke Story, developing Sculture ideas (and no we haven't forgotten about Princess Nest - more about her to come) and run the monthly Litter picks at Castle Pond, Millpond, and the Commons, surrounding area, and Commons Stream.
