What do you like about Haverfordwest? What don’t you like? What needs working on?

These three questions are being asked at an open workshop for people who live and work in the county town today (Friday).

Collectively titled The Big Map, the six week series has been devised by creative collaboration Confluence to engage with the master-planning process for Haverfordwest, currently being undertaken by urban planning consultants Nathaniel Lichfield on behalf of Pembrokeshire County Council.

Hosted by The Lab Haverfordwest and facilitated by iDeA architects, the drop-in workshops aim to involve locals of all ages and from all walks of life in “re-imagining” their town, and its relationship with the river running through it.

Ideas generated at the sessions will be turned in to drawings that will overlay existing maps of Haverfordwest and provide an experimental vision of future possibilities.

Workshops for the business community, on the theme of encouraging commerce, and the Haverfordwest Civic Society, exploring cultural and civic enhancement, have already taken place.

 

The next open-to-all workshop will take place on Friday, September 25, from 2pm to 5pm. Sarah Goy, Senior Urban Planner at Nathaniel Lichfield, will be in attendance to discuss people’s ideas for the Haverfordwest of the future. For more information, visit www.thelabhaverfordwest.org
