Llandeilo Train
Station and Station Road Redevelopment
These photos show the Llandeilo train station
and station road redevelopment. The whole area is being
developed in the hope that it will not only improve the
appearance of the area but will provide much needed additional
parking for the town.
The Restoration of the Western / Upper
Churchyard
You may have noticed some developments
in the town recently...
The Town Council are excited to announce
that much needed ground clearance and landscaping works
have commenced in the churchyard closest to King Street,
Llandeilo. In response to community and parish concerns,
Mayor Dawn Wallace made contact with the Probation Community
Payback scheme which was a catalyst for a schedule of works
to be undertaken.
Every Saturday, the Probation volunteers
are clearing the ground, brambles, ivy and litter whilst
paying close attention to the gravestones, monuments, benches and
beautiful trees. You can now enjoy a walk through the space,
following the exposed paths. The volunteers have been supported
by cups of tea, biscuits and chocolates kindly donated by
grateful neighbours to the area. Over the Christmas period,
it was so pleasing to see fresh flowers laid to rest on
graves which were otherwise inaccessible.
Future plans include the establishment
of a 'working party' consisting of the Town Council, The
Civic Trust, The Church PCC and community volunteers. Their
remit will be to continue the work of this initial clearing
and consider how to further develop the space with additional
walk-ways, natural contours, more seating and a peaceful,
reflective garden setting for the town. If you would
like to volunteer, the Probation Service volunteers
are on-site typically from 11am on a Saturday morning.
