Tywi surgery extension plan developed by Llanelli architects

A popular doctor’s surgery in the Tywi Valley is being extended for the second time with help from South Wales architects the Lewis Partnership.
Meddygfa Tywi in Nantgaredig was first established in the mid-1990s.
The new extension will provide additional facilities for patients and a new treatment room.
The builders should be on site at the end of this month.
Lewis Partnership managing director Philip Lewis said he was delighted that his firm was once again involved in extending the surgery.
He said: “As architects, we were involved in the original building for Dr Anthony Davies and Dr Heather Evans. We added additional administration offices in 2002.”
The £100,000 project will be completed by the end of July.
The successful Contractor is Mike Hiorns Building Contractor Ltd of Llanelli.
The Meddygfa Tywi surgery has a practice area covering a wide rural area - some 2,500 square miles in total.
The surgery is also a dispensing practice with a full range of practice and attached staff.
Normal surgeries are run on an open access system. No appointments are needed for general surgeries to see the Doctor, Practice Nurse or Health Care Assistant.
Lewis Partnership MD Mr Lewis added: “The Meddygfa Tywi surgery is plainly going from strength to strength and we hope that the surgery staff and patients will enjoy the new and improved surroundings when the building work is completed.”

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
