Haverfordwest Plans On Display

This article is old - Published: Saturday, Apr 30th, 2016

Proposals to regenerate Haverfordwest have gone on public display – and residents and traders are being asked for their views. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A blueprint for the town’s future was first unveiled a few weeks ago. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Then it was revealed that a Welsh Government grant would help fund a £3.4 million scheme to transform the Riverside indoor market into a new County Library, information hub and exhibition gallery. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Now others parts of a ‘draft masterplan’ to help revitalise the town centre are being shown to the general public for the first time. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Deputy leader, Keith Lewis, said the aim of the consultation was to establish a vision for Haverfordwest shared by residents, businesses and other interested parties alike. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Councillor Lewis added: “Establishing an agreed, shared vision should help make it easier for the Council to access resources, including funding from external sources ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“This, in turn, should help make the realisation of projects, such as those identified in the draft vision, a possibility for the future.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

From Friday, 29th April to Friday, 27th May, details and drawings will be on display on the first floor landing area of County Hall in Haverfordwest. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Drop-in sessions, where the public can air their views on the ideas put forward, have also been organised. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

These will take place at The Coffee Cave in High Street on Wednesday, 18th May between 5 pm and 8 pm and on Castle Square on Thursday, 19th May between 10 am and 5 pm. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Posters and leaflets are being circulated while the public can give their opinions on the Council’s website at: www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/haveyoursay where details and drawings are also available. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
