A new footbridge with elevators is planned for Tenby station, improving access for all, including wheelchair users.
The plan includes a footbridge for everyone, aiming to make access easier for all, including people in wheelchairs. The bridge will connect both platforms.
Currently, there is no easy way between platforms as people use a path called a barrow crossing. This path is not good for wheelchairs, and the station also lacks staff to help.
The station isn’t fully compliant with the Equality Act of 2010. The new bridge will solve this problem and will have elevators for easy access.
They plan to replace the current bridge, which was built in 1986. The new bridge will be wider, allowing two wheelchairs to pass each other.
The design will match the station’s style and uses similar design ideas, following modern building standards. It will improve station access.
The National Park will review the proposal, and planners will make a decision soon. They will consider the impact on the park and the railway.
