IF you’re looking to wrap up warm for winter or get glammed up for Christmas, Milford Waterfront’s new women’s fashion store is the place to visit.
Boobaloo Boutique officially opened its doors to crowds of shoppers on November 11 after weeks of preparations at their new premises at 4 Vanguard House.

“I am very proud to be bringing our award winning boutique to Milford Waterfront,” said Jacquelyn.
“Being a local person, it has been a desire of mine to set up an additional business in Pembrokeshire for some time and what better setting! I am confident that our store will be a great addition to the plethora of quality retailers and food establishments already based at the marina. I cannot think of a better way to spend a few hours than strolling around the wonderful range of shops and having a great lunch whilst viewing the array of boats on the water, simply idyllic!”
Clare Stowell, Property and Development Manager at the Port of Milford Haven, commented “Boobaloo Boutique is a fantastic addition to the diverse range of shops already on offer. Located in an attractive and vibrant marina setting, Milford Waterfront is becoming a sought after location for businesses seeking a busy retail and leisure environment. I’m really pleased to welcome Jacquelyn to the waterfront and I’m sure Boobaloo Boutique will prove to be very popular as the Christmas party season gets underway.”

Retaining wall collapse in Haverfordwest crushes van
A RETAINING wall at Spring Gardens Lane, behind the site of the former Pembroke House Hotel in Haverfordwest, has collapsed following a period of heavy rainfall, causing damage to vehicles parked in the vicinity.
The incident has left two vans damaged, one severely.
The collapse of the wall sent debris sprawling across the car park, illustrating the force of the collapse and the substantial volume of water contributing to the structural failure.
Witnesses described hearing a loud rumbling noise before discovering the aftermath of the collapse.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
The collapse serves as a stark reminder of the challenges posed by heavy rainfall and the importance of maintaining and monitoring ageing infrastructure.

People in Wales are worried about running out of money in retirement
FEAR of running out of money in retirement is rising among those in Wales with more than half (55%) concerned their savings will not last them through retirement, new research from Investec Wealth & Investment (UK) shows (please see the attached press release).
In general, women are more worried about running out of money compared to men. More than half (54%) of women surveyed are concerned about how long their money will last in retirement, compared to only 44% of men. Around 46% of men who are not worried about running out of money in retirement say it is because they have a final salary pension scheme – compared to just 38% of women who have this.
The study by Investec Wealth & Investment (UK), part of Rathbones Group, among people with stock market investments including pensions, paints a bleak picture – around 55% of those living in Wales are concerned they do not have enough money for retirement. This is similar to the UK average of 56%.
Women are more worried than men that they do not have enough money for retirement. Almost two thirds (61%) of women surveyed are concerned, with 18% of these very concerned they do not have enough money for retirement. This compares to just over half (53%) of men surveyed, with 14% of these very concerned they do not have enough money for retirement.
The Investec Wealth & Investment (UK) study shows that those living in Wales who have yet to retire are realistic about what will happen to their incomes in retirement – 64% expect their monthly incomes to drop on retirement and 36% did not know.
