Local photographer Jason Davies has been documenting the construction of Milford Haven’s new Lidl store. His picture here was taken during the concrete pouring stage on Tuesday, July 7.

Approval for demolishing the existing North Road store and adjoining properties with a view to rebuilding a bigger Lidl on the same site was moved by the late Cllr Brian Hall in October 2024.

He was seconded by Cllr Rhys Jordan who remarked: “I think it will be very welcome to the people of Milford Haven, given the cost-of-living crisis there’s been a huge increase in the use of these stores.”

The new store will be 45 percent bigger and better equipped for modern shopping requirements.

The car park will provide 93 spaces, including six disabled spaces, nine ‘parent & child’ spaces and two EV charging spaces, an increase in overall provision of 11 spaces, planners heard back in 2024.

The application said the development would create up to 40 jobs.

The store closed its doors on Sunday, March 29 to make way for the new development. Reports at the time estimated that the process would take 10 months to complete, indicating a possible late January or February opening.
