Glan yr afon Riverside HPTI

Haverfordwest Public Transport Interchange opening this week

Cyfnewidfa Trafnidiaeth Gyhoeddus Hwlffordd yn agor yr wythnos hon

Glan yr Afon/Riverside, the brand-new Haverfordwest Public Transport Interchange - that includes one-hour free parking - will open on Friday from 2pm.

The Pembrokeshire County Council project has created a modern transport hub with fantastic new bus station and spacious multi-storey car park that will make it easier for people to visit Haverfordwest and connect with bus and other onward transport options.

The facility features wide spaces, upgraded waiting room and public toilets, including a Changing Places toilet, plus dedicated EV charging infrastructure.

It has been backed by £16.894 million of Welsh Government grant funding through the Local Transport Fund and £1.987 million of Pembrokeshire County Council match funding. A further £1.2 million of Transforming Towns funding has supported the HPTI public realm and Prendergast Connectivity Bridge improvements.

Safety and security are key elements of the Interchange, with dozens of high-quality CCTV cameras covering all areas, significantly improved lighting and a caretaker based on site.

The interchange, built by Kier Construction, has been developed to provide significantly improved public transport facilities and is an important part of the regeneration of the County Town.

A Dyfed-Powys Police PCSO will also use the site as a base with a dedicated office.

Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration, Cllr Paul Miller, said: "This project is about much more than a bus station and car park.

“It is about making Haverfordwest easier and more convenient to visit, supporting local businesses and continuing the wider regeneration of our county town.

“Over recent years we have invested significantly in Haverfordwest, transforming previously underused buildings or derelict, improving public spaces and investing in infrastructure. Projects like this create the foundations for future growth and private investment.

“This opening is another important step forward and another vote of confidence in the future of Haverfordwest."

Bus services will begin to use Glan yr Afon/Riverside from Monday, 21 September.

Local Member Cllr Tom Tudor said: “As County Councillor for the Castle Ward, I am pleased that this project is now completed and look forward to the opening this Friday, this can only help Haverfordwest, the County Town of Pembrokeshire to continue prosper for the benefit of the local population and visitors to this wonderful market town, the future looks very much positive and exciting for Haverfordwest.”
