IN a scene straight out of a soap opera, a quiet corner of Milford Haven has been rocked by scandal, handwritten letters, and nocturnal “banging” this week.

It all began in Observatory Avenue, Milford Haven, where an anonymous resident, who we’ll call “Anonymous Member,” received a cryptic letter accusing them of some rather, ahem, lively nighttime activities. However, there’s a twist in this juicy tale – the accused insists they live alone with only their dog for company!

“I was shocked! Allegations of late-night banging and… er… ‘activities’? That’s simply not true,” stated the bewildered resident on Milford Haven Community Watch’s Facebook page, where drama often unfolds with more twists than a daytime TV special.

The online sleuths of the group wasted no time in jumping into action. First up was local resident Sophi Forrest, who took on the role of unofficial detective. “Allegations of what?” she inquired, sparking a flurry of responses. It soon emerged that the accusations centred around suspicious night-time noises of an ahem “adult” nature.

“I live alone with my dog, and I’m always as quiet as a mouse,” our anonymous friend insisted. “It’s really upsetting me!” Another twist? “I don’t even have a headboard on my bed!” The plot thickens.

But Sophi, ever the pragmatist, had a sensible suggestion: “Do any of your neighbours have a Ring doorbell?” Not quite Sherlock Holmes, but it’s a modern take on the classic ‘whodunnit’ approach. Unfortunately, the trail soon ran cold, and the resident confessed to being too anxious to knock on doors and resolve the matter face-to-face. Anxiety, after all, is no friend to a midnight sleuth.

Not one to miss a chance for humour, another resident, Mike Stannett, chimed in with some sage advice: “Just turn ur TV down when ur watching it,” complete with a cheeky wink. Apparently, in Observatory Avenue, the line between Netflix and “chill” may have gotten a little too blurred for some.

But the mystery persists. With no clear evidence of late-night shenanigans and an empty bed frame to back it up, the origin of the hand-delivered note remains a riddle. Was it a prank? A case of mistaken identity? Or is there a mischievous phantom bed-banger haunting Observatory Avenue?

As the speculation continues, the resident remains resolute. “I’m always quiet and think of my neighbours,” they insisted, determined to clear their name from this scandalous saga.

If anything, Milford Haven has proven that even the quietest corners of town can deliver drama worthy of the front page. Meanwhile, locals are left scratching their heads (and perhaps double-checking their headboards) as the case of the midnight mystery unfolds.

A NEW Home Bargains store is set to open in Pembroke Dock, promising a welcome boost to local employment and retail offerings. The discount retailer will officially launch on Friday, 26 October, occupying the site formerly held by Wilko on Pier Road.

The arrival of Home Bargains is expected to generate over 50 new jobs, with the majority being filled by local residents. Job openings range from store managers to team members, cleaners, and team leaders, with vacancies having been advertised online.

The store will take over the premises that Wilko vacated last September, following 15 years of service in the town. Wilko’s closure was part of a nationwide shutdown of 400 stores, following the company’s entry into administration.

Plans for the site have been approved by Pembrokeshire County Council, with permission granted for external changes to the building. These include a new shopfront, the installation of goods doors, and various refurbishments. The addition of condensers has also been greenlit to support the store’s operations.

Home Bargains, owned by TJ Morris Limited, has rapidly grown into one of the largest privately-owned companies in the UK, now boasting over 550 stores nationwide. The company’s expansion plans aim to surpass 1,000 outlets in the near future.

The announcement has sparked excitement in the local community, with many residents looking forward to the store’s opening. One enthusiastic shopper remarked on social media, “Book the day off, we have plans!”

Local officials have also expressed support for the new development. A report prepared for planners stated that the proposal would “enhance the functionality of the site, without detracting from or preventing the development of identified retail zones within the town centre.”

A 32-YEAR-OLD man from Haverfordwest has appeared in court, facing charges of kidnapping a baby.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with the unlawful and forceful abduction of a baby from an address in Haverfordwest, allegedly acting against the mother’s wishes.

The case was heard at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on 11 October, where it was decided that the matter would be transferred to Swansea Crown Court.

The accused has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court again on 11 November, where he is expected to enter a plea.
