“This gives us the opportunity to share videos, slideshows, web clips and vlogs with people, along with articles and photographs.
“The aim is to keep people informed about PSB activities and initiatives which affect them, and to provide information about the partners’ services and developments. In this edition we are focusing on safety, particularly as we approach Halloween and Bonfire Night, and also highlighting other initiatives.
“I recommend you watch the video of our performing arts students which demonstrates the wealth of talent we have here in Carmarthenshire. Hope you find Carms News interesting and informative, we welcome feedback and suggestions.”
