Pembrokeshire Council reviews £10.5m regeneration funding for Pembroke
What happened
Pembrokeshire County Council held a meeting on October 19, 2026, where a county councillor and Pembroke mayor inquired about the status of the town's Westgate to Eastgate levelling-up funding. The council confirmed that the £10,543,627 was awarded in November 2023 from Round 3 of the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The funding is designated for the regeneration project, which aims to improve public accessibility and the street environment in Pembroke.
Why it matters
The funding is earmarked for major infrastructure improvements, including better pedestrian links, improved lighting, street art, and new signage encouraging visitors to explore Main Street and views of Mill Pond. The council is also planning a public engagement event to gather ideas for the future of Pembroke.
County planners are currently considering a local development application in Pembroke.
