Neyland: Community Hub gets green light following £500,000 grant
WORK will start on a new Community Hub in Neyland following a Welsh Government grant of £500,000 being added to the funding.
The grant was announced today (Jun 30) and is part of a £3.7m pot which aims to ‘to develop and improve facilities for communities, aimed at tackling poverty and its effects’.
The latest grant is in addition to funding which was secured from Pembrokeshire County Council and The National Lottery.
It is hoped that work will start on the Community Hub, where the current Athletic Club stands on John Street, in early 2018.
Cllr Paul Miller said following the announcement: “I’m absolutely delighted to be able to confirm this funding award today. It’s the culmination of years of hard work by the team and takes the funding committed to more than £1,800,000.
“That means we’ve hit our original funding target and work has now started in earnest to finalise the detailed design and select a principal contractor for the build.
“We hope to be on site in the first quarter of 2018 and after a really, really, long wait Neyland will finally be getting its new, state of the art, Community Hub.
“This project represents the biggest investment ever in community facilities in Neyland and will safeguard provision for the next generation.”

Tenby 10k raises more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori
A POPULAR Tenby road race has raised more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.
Runners and sponsors taking part in last year’s Tenby 10k raised £20,559.07 for the Pembrokeshire charity, which provides hospice care to people in their own homes.
The race, organised by Waterfront Community Runners, took place in October 2025 and was well supported by locals and visitors, who lined the route through the town to cheer on competitors.
Laura Hugman, Chief Executive of Paul Sartori, has now received the cheque, presented by a selection of those who took part in the event.
This year’s Tenby 10k will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, on a closed-road, two-lap course through the centre of Tenby.
More than 400 runners have already signed up, with entries now past 40 per cent capacity and organisers expecting the event to sell out again.
Anyone wishing to take part can enter at www.waterfrontcommunityrunners.co.uk.
All proceeds from this year’s race will again be donated to the Paul Sartori Foundation.
