LAST weekend Pembrokeshire County Council’s Regeneration Team held a successful engagement event at Haverhub where around 200 people attended and shared their views on current and future developments in Haverfordwest. In addition, over 130 online survey responses have been received and there’s still time to have your say – head over to www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/futureofhaverfordwest

As part of these wider plans, Pembrokeshire County Council is improving town centre wayfinding in our county town with funding from UK Government. As well as more traditional signage, such as finger posts, the designs will include creative signposting across the town so that you can easily find your way to your destination, discover places you didn’t know before, learn about our rich heritage and enjoy spending more time in Haverfordwest.

We are working with landscape architects, wayfinding, and other specialists on new designs for Castle Square, Castle Link and wayfinding across the town. We are hosting an engagement event to seek public feedback on three creative design ideas, which have been produced for a landmark town centre waymarker. This will be a key signpost to aid navigation across Haverfordwest and will tell one or more stories about our unique town heritage.

A public exhibition will take place in the Corner Room at Haverhub Thursday 1st 3 pm – 7 pm and Friday 2nd August 10 am -5 pm. The exhibition will give the people of Pembrokeshire a chance to view, score and comment on these three designs and understand how they fit into the overall developing wayfinding plans. Pembrokeshire County Council officers will be available to discuss the project and answer your questions. Later in the year, there will be further opportunities to engage on the rest of the wayfinding designs, and ideas for Castle Square and Castle Link, as they emerge.

This is an in person event. If you are unable to attend but are keen to express your views, please email [email protected] and a copy of the exhibition boards and the survey can be emailed to you. The survey must be returned by 15th August for your scores to count.

One of the designs will be selected in August, using a combination of public survey scores and those of an expert panel. We will then engage further with the local community to refine the favoured design during September and October 2024, and aim to agree a final design and site location by November, with installation planned for late spring 2025.

Group marks December meeting with charity collection and Christmas celebrations

NARBELLES WI rounded off the year with a festive December meeting featuring a bring-and-share buffet, party games and a Secret Santa gift exchange.

Members also used the occasion to support families in need across the county, collecting food items and presenting a £120 cheque to Ann Watling from Pembrokeshire Food Bank. The donation represents the proceeds of the group’s bucket collection during Narberth Civic Week 2024.

A spokesperson for the WI said the group was delighted to finish the year “with fun, friendship and a chance to give something back to the community.”

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service held its annual Charity Carol Service on Wednesday (Dec 10) at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel in Crymych.

The event brought together members of the local community alongside Fire Service staff for an evening of carols, readings and festive refreshments, marking the Christmas season in a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

This year’s service supported two important charities — the Fire Fighters Charity and Cancer Research Wales — with all proceeds going directly towards their ongoing work.

A total of £597 was raised on the night, which will be shared equally between the two charities.

The Service thanked the congregation at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel for hosting the event, as well as everyone who gave their time, support and generosity to make the evening such a success.

Castle Inn fun runners back festive charity event

THE ANNUAL 3 Amigos Christmas toy bike run is under way this afternoon (Saturday), with hundreds of motorcyclists setting off from Pembroke to raise funds for children’s services.

Riders gathered at The Commons car park in Pembroke from around midday before departing shortly after 1:00pm. The festive convoy is travelling along its traditional route, taking in Pembroke Dock and continuing through parts of the county including Neyland, Milford Haven and Haverfordwest.

The event is organised by the 3 Amigos and Dollies Motorcycle Group and has become a much-anticipated Christmas tradition in west Wales, with toys and donations collected for children receiving care within the Hywel Dda University Health Board area.

Also supporting the event are fun runners from the Castle Inn in Pembroke, who have been fundraising in aid of the 3 Amigos. The group are pictured alongside participants from today’s run.

The 3 Amigos have been raising funds for children’s wards and health charities for more than twenty-five years, with their Easter and Christmas events continuing to make a positive difference to young patients and their families.

Organisers have thanked the public for their support and asked road users to be mindful of the large convoy as it passes through towns and villages this afternoon.
