Published

on

THE PLANNING application for the development of the former Cleddau Bridge Hotel in Pembroke Dock site has been updated. 

On November 9, Pembrokeshire County Council issued a public notice informing the public that an application for planning permission to demolish the old hotel and build a residential care home and a linked bungalow had been submitted.

The application was submitted by Hawkfire Developments Limited. They initially applied for the same development, but with two linked bungalows.

Care home plan: One of the documents submitted to Pembrokeshire County Council

Full planning permission was granted in May 2018 to convert the hotel into a 48-bed care home, but a fire left the building on Essex Road in a semi-derelict state less than a year later.

The building had suffered severe structural damage and some of the sections have completely collapsed, leading to the new application for demolition and a new build.

The structure had experienced major structural damage, and several sections had collapsed, necessitating the new application for demolition and a new build.

If permitted, the development will comprise the destruction of the current structure, the construction of the residential home, comprising day rooms, a dining room, staff offices, a commercial kitchen, and storage facilities, as well as the construction of a linked bungalow.

Anyone interested in viewing the application can do so by searching for the reference 22/0510/PA on the planning site at www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk.

Those who wish to make a representation about the development should do so in writing by November 23.

Representations must be made online at the above application or by writing to the Director of Community Services, County Hall, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA61 1TP.

If writing in, the reference (22/0510/PA) must be included.

Baby loss remembrance service resumes at Withybush Hospital

Published

on

THE ANNUAL baby loss remembrance service will return on Thursday 12 October 2023 at St Luke’s Chapel in Withybush hospital in Haverfordwest at 7pm.

The ‘Forget Me Not’ service coincides with Baby Loss Awareness week (9-15 October) and is arranged by Midwifery and Bereavement teams and led by the Spiritual Care Department (Chaplaincy).

The service has long been a source of comfort for parents and families and provides an opportunity for people to reflect and to come together to pay respects and write a message in a safe space.

Euryl Howells, Senior Chaplain at Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “This service of remembrance is an important moment for parents and families who have been affected by the very sad experience of babies who have passed away.

“Infant and pregnancy loss is a very lonely grief. This space is a time to gather and remember precious little ones whether the loss was recent or in the more distant past.”

In recognition of Baby Loss Awareness week, Prince Philip Hospital, Llanelli, Glangwili Hospital, Carmarthen and Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth will have pink and blue lights in the Chapel/Quiet Room. The week culminates in a ‘Wave of Light’ on 15 October, which is recognised across the world.

A candle (battery operated) will be lit at 7pm by the Senior Chaplain in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.

If you are unable to attend the service and wish to commemorate your loved one, please send a message to [email protected] by Tuesday 10 October 2023

Should you require further information please contact Euryl Howells by telephone or email 01267 227563 or [email protected]
