THE relaunch of Pembroke Dock Market on Friday morning (October 9) was fantastic, with a good range of stallholders and a lively crowd, despite a rainy start.

Paul Davies MS took time to visit and meet the traders before heading to his busy advice surgery at the Pater Hall.

Delighting in the vibrant, bustling atmosphere, with some traders selling out, Cllr Jamie Street said: “This is exactly what we hoped to achieve when we set out to revive the Friday Market. Not just somewhere to shop, but a thriving community hub that brings people together while supporting fantastic local businesses.”

He added: “Let’s make every Friday as busy as yesterday and build something Pembroke Dock can be proud of for years to come.”
