HAVERFORDWEST’S new £19 million Public Transport Interchange will enable the county town to become a “thriving commercial and residential location”, in the words of one local councillor.

Thomas Tudor, County Councillor for the Castle Ward, met on site with officers from Pembrokeshire County Council to Glan-Yr-Afon Riverside Public Transport Interchange.

I definitely see the Public Transport Interchange facilitating Haverfordwest to become a multi-functional place for all, offering a place to live, work, play and visit, and I am very optimistic for the future development of Haverfordwest enabling it to become a thriving commercial and residential location of choice with a resilient and vibrant community, creating a distinct destination and sense of place that will continue to attract people, which ultimately contributes to the wider sustainability, success and function of Haverfordwest as the County Town of Pembrokeshire.

The new development comprises a ground floor with 16 general parking bays, 10 disabled bays, two disabled bays with EV charging, two parent-and-child bays,14 motorcycle bays, 26 cycle hoops, six bus lay-by bays and one layover bay. Then on the first floor are 98 general parking bays at 2.6m width, one restricted bay (non 2.6m width), six disabled bays, eight parent-and-child bays. and two reserved bays. On the second floor are a further 96 general parking bays at 2.6m width, one restricted bay (non 2.6m width), 24 EV charging bays and four parent-and-child bays.

Externally, one taxi rank has EV infrastructure. Other facilities include seven toilets, one Changing Places facility, an indoor bus waiting room, screens and totems for customer information to locate bus bays and services, two lifts, and a secure office for use by Pembrokeshire County Council staff and the police.

Works are now in their final phase, with a July opening expected.
