'Showcase' for Llanelli town centre redevelopment

It is so difficult to grasp the scale of the massive £60 million remodelling of Llanelli town centre that a Showcase exhibition centre has been created.
Opening in the spacious former Burton’s building on November 18 in Stepney Square next door to Boots and opposite Lloyds Bank the spacious gallery will graphically showcase all five elements of Llanelli’s town centre regeneration.
Photographs, maps and a power-point fly-through will whet the appetite of what is come from the Autumn, 2012.
High point is the £25-million East Gate where a decaying townscape has been swept away and from which is emerging a bright new gateway and thriving family leisure-quarter focused around a new town square.
Llanelli Library’s £3.8-million refurbishment is also helping to open a new chapter in the town’s fortunes right alongside Llanelly House.
This magnificent building, with Jacobean roots, is being sensitively restored.
It’s likely to attract 30,000 visitors a year to its heritage centre and has ambitious plans to become crucible of genealogy.
Then, there’s Y Ffwrness, a state of the art theatre and base for cultural social enterprises and the performing arts.
It’s all knitted together by ADREF which is improving the public realm in and around the town including new illuminated canopies and furnishings.
