New bus station set to arrive at Haverfordwest

Kier Construction and Pembrokeshire County Council have held a ground-breaking event to kick off work on the new Haverfordwest Public Transport Interchange (HPTI).

The scheme includes the construction of a town centre bus and coach station, alongside a multi-storey car park.

Designed by architects BDP, the completed scheme will include over 300 parking spaces, seven bus bays, public toilets and accessible changing facilities. William Haley is the steelwork contractor for the project.

A number of sustainable features have been factored into the design, including electric vehicle charging facilities and an array of solar panels on the roof, which will supply the majority of the building’s energy needs and help Pembrokeshire County Council meet its commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030.

Councillor Paul Miller, Deputy Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, said: “It’s great to see work starting on this new transport interchange, which is an important part of the wider Haverfordwest Masterplan.

“It’s designed to make it easy and convenient to visit the town centre.”

Matthew Mayes, Architect Director at BDP, added: “This significant regeneration scheme will be transformational for local people, offering improved access to bus, taxi and cycling facilities with excellent connectivity to the riverside, shopping centre and railway centre.

“Our designs include striking aluminium fins that wrap around the building with stone cladding at ground level to reflect the town’s historic features, and a new public square with plenty of greenery and seating for people to relax.”
