Pembrokeshire County Council has backed calls for the UK Government to take action to protect the future of Welsh ports. “As an authority we recognise the importance of our ports at Fishguard and Pembroke, alongside the other Welsh ports that have direct links with the Republic of Ireland”, said Cllr Paul Miller, cabinet member for the economy. “I fully support the Welsh Government’s minister for economy and transport, Ken Skates, who has written to the UK Government urging action to resolve the EU Exit’s ‘disproportionate impact’ on Welsh ports, including the ports at Fishguard and Pembroke”. The call for action is in light of the impact on freight numbers as a result of Brexit, and while numbers are now beginning to increase, they are not yet back to the level pre-Brexit.
