£1m Quay Street work 'will be done on time'
6:30am Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News
AMMANFORD town councillors have received assurances that the £1m Quay Street works will be completed on time.
The news was welcomed by members who pointed out the works had proved disruptive to local businesses, all of whom had reported lower sales.
“People have been questioningwhy the work is being done at all,” said Cllr Chris Jones.
“What many don’t realise is that the street was deteriorating badly and that there were concerns about the safety of the public – the finished street should be a vast improvement.”
At last week’s meeting members agreed more was needed to improve Ammanford and the appearance of some buildings.
“There is a lot planned and much more energy now in the new-look Ammanford town council,” said Cllr Jones. “We all want a bigger role in ensuring Ammanford gets what it deserves.”

'can't believe that street is costing that much but there you go
