A consultation on the future of what was once one of Milford Haven’s best-loved footpaths ends today (Friday).

Pembrokeshire County Council is looking to stop walkers accessing part of Hakin Point footpath, which runs between Pointfields and Hakin Point, because of the “likelihood of danger” due to a landslip.

Anyone wanting to have their say has until Friday, December 5, to do so.Among those disappointed at the plans is Stephanie McGrath, of Hakin.

“The path, which has now become a dead end, was a popular walkway, which has been in use for as long as anyone living can remember and long before that,” she said.

“This path should be part of the Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Pathway and the Welsh Coastal Pathway.”

Last month, Cllr Rhys Sinnett said he was saddened that an alternative to closure had been found.

“This has been enjoyed by thousands of people over the years,” he said.

Milford Mayor Eric Harries shared his view, adding that he remembered “scampering up it as a child”.

All objections to closure of the path, must be made in writing, specifying the reasons and should be sent to Mr Matt Cloud, Pembrokeshire County Council, County Hall, Haverfordwest, SA61 1TP.

Only correspondence including a full name and address will be considered.
