As we enjoy the sunshine and the busiest weeks of the summer, Tenby Town Council would like to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible people who are working tirelessly to keep us all safe.

Our police and ambulance crews are stretched to the limits, as they have been for some time, responding to incidents across our communities.

Our Tenby retained firefighters are also busier than ever. Not only are they responding to incidents locally, but some have also been called away to support colleagues tackling the major wildfires across South Wales. πŸ”₯πŸš’

With the ground now incredibly dry, we all have a responsibility to help prevent fires. Please think carefully about where you use disposable BBQs, and please, please don't light camping or beach fires. One small spark in these conditions can quickly become something much more serious.

And then there's our wonderful coastline. 🌊

With the warm weather bringing thousands of people to our beaches and waters, our voluntary HM Coastguard Tenby, RNLI lifeboat crews and lifeguards have already been exceptionally busy, carrying out numerous rescues and responding to incidents.

If you're heading onto the water in a canoe, kayak or paddleboard, or planning to swim, please take the RNLI's advice, know your limits and make sure you understand the conditions before you go. A beautiful, calm-looking sea can change very quickly.

We absolutely love seeing Tenby busy. We love welcoming visitors, seeing our beaches full and watching people enjoy and explore our fabulous coastline.

But please use a little common sense.

Enjoy Tenby. Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy our coastline. But stay safe.

And most importantly, a huge THANK YOU to all our police officers, ambulance crews, firefighters, coastguards, RNLI volunteers and lifeguards.

You are often at your busiest when everyone else is having their best days out β€” and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do. ❀️

From everyone in Tenby β€” thank you for keeping Tenby safe.

πŸŽ‘πŸš’ Best of luck to everyone involved in today's Tenby Fire Station Carnival! 🎠πŸ”₯

A huge thank you to the incredible firefighters, organisers, and everyone taking part in one of Tenby's best-loved traditions. We hope you all have a fantastic day!

As well as providing a fantastic day of fun for residents and visitors alike, the carnival helps raise vital funds to support well worth cause. Every donation and every bit of support makes a real difference.

And, of course... no Fireman's Carnival would be complete without the legendary water fight in Tudor Square! πŸ’¦πŸ˜‚ Whether you're armed with a supersoaker, a bucket, or just trying to stay dry... good luck – you'll probably need it! πŸ˜„

From everyone at Tenby Town Council, thank you for keeping this fantastic community tradition alive. Have an amazing day, and if you can, please support the fundraising and give generously.

A Tribute to Phil (Rez) Lees-Griffiths – Thank You for 37 Years of Service

Tenby Town Council would like to extend its sincere congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Phil Lees-Griffiths on his retirement after an incredible 37 years of dedicated service with Mid & West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
On behalf of the people of Tenby, the Mayor,

Cllr Dai Morgan, said:
"Today, we celebrate not just the retirement of a firefighter, but the remarkable career of a man who has devoted 37 years to protecting the people of Tenby and our surrounding communities. Phil has always put others before himself. Through every emergency, every call-out, and every challenge, he has served with courage, professionalism, humility and compassion. His commitment to our town has been unwavering, and generations of residents have benefited from his dedication and selfless service.

Behind every firefighter is a family who have shared in the sacrifices that public service demands, and today we also thank Phil's loved ones for the support they have given throughout his distinguished career. As Phil begins a well-earned retirement, we also take this opportunity to recognise every member of our emergency services. To our firefighters, police officers, ambulance crews, RNLI volunteers, HM Coastguard teams and all those who serve our communities day and night thank you. Your professionalism, courage and commitment never go unnoticed, and Tenby is proud of each and every one of you.

Phil, on behalf of Tenby Town Council and the people of our town, thank you for your extraordinary service. Your legacy will live on through the lives you have touched, the colleagues you have inspired, and the community you have helped keep safe for nearly four decades.

We wish you and your family a long, healthy and happy retirement. You have truly earned it. Thank you for always putting the people of Tenby first."

Congratulations, Phil, and thank you for your outstanding service. πŸš’β€οΈ

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Good Luck to Everyone Taking Part in the Mayor's Challenge! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Today is Run Day at The Long Course Weekend, and that means it's also Mayor's Challenge Day – a fantastic opportunity to celebrate community spirit while raising vital funds for local charities and organisations that make a real difference across Tenby and beyond.

Twelve dedicated participants are taking on today's challenge ranging from 5k to a marathon in support of a range of charities and wellbeing initiatives, including Tenby Town Council's Deputy Mayor, Cllr Tom Sloan, and Tenby Town Crier, Erin Morgan.

The Mayor of Tenby, Cllr Dai Morgan, said
"One of the greatest strengths of our community is the willingness of people to come together to support others. The Mayor's Challenge isn't just about crossing the finish line, it's about helping local charities and organisations continue their invaluable work. Every pound raised will help provide support, opportunities and services that benefit people of all ages across our community. Whether it's supporting bereaved families, giving young people opportunities through organisations like the Guides and Sea Cadets, or helping to fund lifesaving services such as the Wales Air Ambulance, the impact of this fundraising will be felt long after today's event has finished.
I would like to thank every participant for taking on the challenge and to extend my sincere gratitude to Matthew and Scott at Long Course Weekend for once again making this initiative possible. Their generosity and commitment to our community have created a partnership that is already making a meaningful difference."

Now in its second year, the partnership between Tenby Town Council and Long Course Weekend continues to grow, with this year's Mayor's Challenge supporting local causes including Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity, 4th Tenby Guides, 1st Tenby Rangers, Wales Air Ambulance Charity, Tenby Sea Cadets, and other deserving community organisations.

From everyone at Tenby Town Council, we wish all of today's runners the very best of luck. Thank you for helping to strengthen our community and for showing that, together, we can make a lasting difference.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Armed Forces Day 2026 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Today, Tenby Town Council is proud to join communities across the United Kingdom in celebrating Armed Forces Day and paying tribute to the courage, commitment and sacrifice of the men and women who serve, or have served, in our Armed Forces, as well as the families who support them every step of the way.

Tenby has a long and proud connection with the Armed Forces. From those who left our harbour and streets to serve in times of conflict, to the veterans who now call our beautiful seaside town home, their contribution forms an important part of our community's history and identity. We are also grateful to the reservists, cadets and serving personnel who continue to inspire future generations through their dedication and service.

The photograph accompanying this post captures a significant moment in 2025, when The Mayor signed the Armed Forces Covenant. By doing so, the Council reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that members of the Armed Forces community are treated with fairness and respect, recognising the unique sacrifices made by those who serve our country.

As we enjoy all that makes Tenby such a special place todayβ€”from our stunning coastline and historic streets to the warmth and spirit of our communityβ€”we remember that these freedoms have been protected through the dedication of generations of servicemen and women.

On behalf of the Mayor, Councillors and staff of Tenby Town Council, we extend our sincere thanks to all serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets and military families. Your service, resilience and sacrifice are deeply appreciated and will never be forgotten.
Thank you for your service.

Deputy Mayor Councillor Tom Sloan was recently invited to YG Ysgol Greenhill for a private viewing of their latest art exhibition.
The exhibition served as a wonderful celebration of creativity across the ages, showcasing work from a wide range of year groups. From the expressive projects of the younger pupils to the sophisticated work of GCSE and A-level students, the breadth of talent on display was truly impressive. Disciplines ranged from fashion design and textiles to intricate architectural drawing and sculpture.

Beyond the finished products, the exhibition highlighted a remarkable depth in the students' creative process. It was a pleasure to see such high-quality preparatory work and sketchbooks on display, which demonstrated the extensive research and critical thinking being fostered within the school. The level of technical skill in the drawing and dimensional work is a credit to both the students' dedication and the high standard of teaching at Ysgol Greenhill.
During the visit, future collaborative opportunities between the Council, the school, and the pupils were also discussed.

The Council is proud to see such talent and commitment being nurtured within our local schools. Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic exhibition.
