Carmarthenshire fun day a big success
A fun day for council tenants from Carmarthenshire has been hailed a huge success.
Hundreds of residents from across the county turned out for the family event.
Workshops and activities, fair rides and an inflatable obstacle course transformed the United Counties Showground.
Visitors were treated to a variety of craft stalls and information stands, along with dance displays, circus skills and interactive drumming.
Safety displays were staged by the fire service, the police helicopter attended, and there were demonstrations on DIY, carpentry and plumbing, along with face painting for children.
The event was aimed at bringing together tenants from across the county and providing them with an opportunity to access information on council services.
It was organised by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Housing Services team, and was the latest in a series of events aimed at engaging with tenants.
Tenant Participation Officer Janet Griffiths said: “The event was very successful and the feedback we have received from tenants has been excellent.
“We have received a number of e-mails from tenants thanking us for staging the event and for the range of activities and information on offer.”
Housing Executive Board Member cllr Hugh Evans said: “We want to provide the best possible housing service for tenants, and events like this give us a platform to directly communicate with a large audience.
“This fun day enabled us to engage with many tenants and allowed them to access information on a variety of services.”
John England and Ray Symes, from the council's property services division, show plumbing techniques to Lloyd Davies, age 14, from Llandybie.
Ashleigh Willis, age seven, and brother Morgan Willis, age four, enjoy the fun day.
Jamie and Holly Davies with mum Claire, of Capel Hendre, try out crafts at the event.
