Responding to the announcement from UK Government that two community projects in Pembrokeshire have been awarded funding of more than £400,000, local MP Stephen Crabb said:
“I am delighted that the bids from the Haverhub project in Haverfordwest town centre and Siop Havards Gymunedol in Newport are being supported by the UK Community Ownership Fund. I was very pleased to have worked with local partners in the community to secure this money from the government and I look forward to seeing the projects continue to flourish. The Community Ownership Fund is all about helping to sustain vibrant communities through investment in local assets. Community ownership can be a powerful model for improving local buildings and facilities.”
“The purchase and full renovation of the former GPO site in Quay Street by Haverhub will be a great example of what can be achieved through partnership and local vision.”
