THE public has been asked to avoid a section of the beach at Burton Ferry following the discovery of oil on the shoreline.

Officers from the Public Protection team at Pembrokeshire County Council have put up warning signs advising people that part of the shore between the Jolly Sailor and the NATO jetty has been contaminated with oil.

 

The county council and other agencies are investigating the source of the oil.

Work to clean up the beach will be starting soon to ensure there is minimum impact on the public and the environment.
