New vision for four Carmarthenshire towns
A vision for the future of four Carmarthenshire towns is about to be unveiled.
Exciting plans have been drawn up to regenerate the rural communities of Laugharne, St Clears, Newcastle Emlyn and Pendine.
It follows consultation with residents over what improvements they would most like to see.
Public meetings have been held by Carmarthenshire County Council’s physical regeneration team to assess local priorities.
Among the proposals identified were riverside access schemes in St Clears and Newcastle Emlyn, a town environmental enhancement scheme in Laugharne and promenade improvements in Pendine.
The plans have been put forward as part of a bid for £2 million funding under the Rural Development Plan for Wales, which is funded by the Welsh Assembly and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Officers are planning to showcase the proposals to the communities in a series of public exhibitions over the coming weeks.
The council’s Project Development Officer Michael Morgan said: “We have prepared detailed plans with the support of the four towns involved and consultation has been carried out on the feasibility of each scheme.
“We are now planning to revisit the towns to interact further with residents and discuss the plans with them.
“We are hopeful that we will be successful in our bid for funding to implement these projects.”
The work is part of a major regeneration programme being driven forward across the county by the council.
Communities all over Carmarthenshire are reaping the rewards of a drive to strengthen communities and help them flourish.
Regeneration Executive Board Member cllr Clive Scourfield said: “A great deal of work has been carried out in the four communities.
“This is innovative work to support and develop our communities and we will continue to work closely with people, groups and partners to ensure the best results.”
