Upgrade for Carmarthen day centre
Staff and service users at Carmarthen’s Myrddin Day Centre are gearing up for a few weeks away as the building undergoes a significant upgrade.
Users of the Carmarthenshire County Council’s day centre will be transported to another venue for the duration of the works, due to start at the end of the month.
The investment at the day centre will see a number of improvements, set to make the building more accessible for service users.
Work includes making a bathroom and toilet area larger for wheelchair and hoist access and renewing a fire alarm system.
Dylan Owen, Amman Gwendraeth area manager, said: “There will be a slight disruption to services at Myrddin Day Centre whilst this work is undertaken, but we already have plans in place to ensure the continuity of services, albeit at a different venue for a few weeks.
“Staff and service users have been kept fully informed, and are looking forward to seeing the end result of the investment, which will no doubt make things far easier for everyone.”
The investment has been made from the council’s capital resources for building upgrades.
Cllr Pat Jones, executive board member for health and social care, said: “This is a significant investment in day care services in Carmarthen. It shows the authority’s commitment to making improvements in our buildings and services where possible and appropriate, despite the financial pressures being faced by the health and social care department.”
