VAR could be installed at Haverfordwest County AFC stadium
A CALL to site VAR Video Assistant Referee cameras and works at Haverfordwest County AFC's football ground has been submitted to Pembrokeshire planners. In the application to Pembrokeshire County Council, the Football Association of Wales seeks permission for the installation of a VAR video operations room and associated works at Bridge Meadow Stadium, Bridge Meadow, Haverfordwest. A supporting statement through agent Wardell Armstrong says: 'The Football Association Wales has recognised opportunities to strengthen, improve and build the standard of football and the image associated with Wales's top football league. 'The launch of the Cymru Premier Strategy 2024-2030 has detailed plans to improve the standard of the Cymru Premier League's club facilities, brands, and awareness, alongside strengthening the Cymru Premier 'on pitch' product over a six-year period. 'The implementation of VAR as part of this plan will allow referees to perform at the highest possible level, providing quality decision-making to benefit players, fans and television audiences.' It says VAR 'comprises of a Video Assistant Referee who is a qualified official that watches video footage of the game with access to multiple screens, angles and replays with the purpose of assisting the on-field officials to come to the correct decision,' adding: 'VAR is used globally, currently assisting referees in associated football leagues of over 70 countries to minimise the risk of human error and to enable the referee to make the correct decision using video technology. 'VAR Light will be deployed in the Cymru Premier from season 2025/2026 covering all Cymru Premier matches. VAR Light works on the same principles as VAR – with a Video Assistant Referee but without a replay operator.' It goes on to say: 'Imagery from VAR camera installations will be sent to a self-contained Video Operations Room, where the VAR will be situated. The match referee will undertake any recommended on-field reviews in a designated Referee Review Area adjacent to the pitch, where a monitor will be installed on match days. 'A review of the infrastructure at the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium has concluded that the Video Operations Room cannot be provided within existing buildings and as such it will be necessary to provide new additional accommodation.'

Path connecting two popular Welsh beaches finally set to reopen
Path connecting two popular Welsh beaches finally set to reopen The Tramway, which links Wisemans Bridge to Coppet Hall, has been closed for months after a series of landslips - the latest in January - and substantial investment has been made to reopen the route This section of path in Pembrokeshire is expected to reopen within weeks, having been shut since January (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service ) A section of a coastal path connecting two popular beaches in Pembrokeshire is set to reopen in just over a month. The pathway, which connects Wisemans Bridge with Coppet Hall near Saundersfoot, had previously been shut down following 'substantial rock falls' towards the end of 2023 and into early 2024, despite significant council investment to make the route accessible before the most recent landslides occurred. In January, another collapse took place on the cycleway from Wisemans Bridge to Coppet Hall, disrupting the connection between Wisemans Bridge and Coppet Hall beach. Pembrokeshire Council responded by issuing a temporary prohibition order to restrict access. The order read: "The Order is necessary to ensure the safety of the public from the eroding cliff face and follows two public notices previously issued under this same Act advising of this restriction." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . It further detailed: "The effect of the Order will be to temporarily prohibit all vehicular and non-vehicular traffic other than exempted vehicles from proceeding along the Public Right of Way SP42/P1/3 Coppet Hall to Wisemans Bridge – from Coppet Hall Point, northeast to its junction with the access road leading towards Hean Castle." The restrictions are set to be clearly signposted and are planned to commence on Thursday, February 27, with an anticipated duration of around four months. A Pembrokeshire County Council spokesperson stated that the pathway is due to reopen next month. "The end of June is the target to reopen the path between Coppet Hall and Wiseman's Bridge which has been closed due to a landslide." However, the council official also cautioned: "Every effort will be made to meet the re-opening target but given the complicated nature of the works this cannot be guaranteed." The closure notice has a six-month limit, serving as a backup plan in case of unforeseen delays or rescheduling of the works. Meanwhile, the upper path remains accessible to users. By March, the accumulated costs of repairs for multiple incidents had reached nearly £700,000. Article continues below This development comes after local councillor Chris Williams voiced his frustration last year with "selfish" path users who compromised others' safety by repeatedly breaching safety barriers and fencing during the repair works.
