HAVERFORDWEST Town Museum will move to a temporary location whilst work is done on the Castle.

Work is being carried out as part of a levelling up project and the Museum will likely move to the town centre.

At its meeting on Monday (Sept 5), Cabinet members approved a grant to be given to the Museum to help them move.

Cllr Paul Miller said: “We’re redeveloping the area around Haverfordwest Castle and the castle itself as part of one of our levelling up projects.

“As part of that Haverfordwest Town Museum, they are very active partners, they have been very supportive and I’m grateful to the curator and the trustees for their support, they need to move during the redevelopment period and we need to support them to undertake that temporary relocation.”

Mike Cavanagh said that the Museum would like to establish a pop-up shop in the town and that they would like to help them do that.

Museum Curator Simon Hancock said: “The Haverfordwest Town Museum is an enthusiastic partner in the plans for Haverfordwest Castle which are central to the county council’s regeneration of the county town.

“I am pleased financial support has been agreed for the museum due to our enforced closure for at least two years while work is underway.

“We look forward to operating in a town centre location while the castle site is being redeveloped and a new chapter in our history when we reopen back at Castle House in 2024-5.”

MILFORD HAVEN BUSINESS CIRCLE is calling on the community to join the launch of its new Litter-Free Zone.

In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.

The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.

The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.

This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.

The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.

Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:

Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.

The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.

By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
