School Reception
Swiss Valley school will have a new reception area for the start of the 24/25 school year in September. Parents will already have seen new green fencing appear to make the path into the school more secure. This six figure investment is welcome and we will be excited to see it finished.
Car Park - Community Centre
Bollards have been placed at the community centre car park to prevent cars parking there long term. Several cars had notices placed on them and new signs were erected to try to improve the situation but when that failed the volunteer committee reluctantly acted. These cars were preventing patrons/classes of the community centre parking their cars there. The car park is private and despite us all using it, it has never been a public car park and the Community Centre volunteer committee have acted to allow its patrons to park securely when using its facilities.
National Forest of Wales
Our reservoir has been identified as being an area which may well lend itself to becoming part of the new national forest of Wales initiative. We are currently in discussions with Welsh Water, Natural Resources Wales and Llanelli Rural Council on this matter. Its very exciting but early days yet.
