PEOPLE and businesses are being asked for their feedback on changes which have been made in Ammanford as part of Covid-19 safety measures.

The changes in the town centre, as well as Llanelli and Carmarthen, were brought in by Carmarthenshire county council in a bid to encourage people to safely return to towns following the lifting of the first lockdown.

The changes made space for businesses to trade outdoors whilst allowing people to keep their distance from others in traffic free streets in the larger towns.

Many businesses embraced the temporary changes to put al fresco seating areas outside for people to meet safely.

The changes were driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and were introduced on a temporary basis which would be reviewed.

Now, a public consultation is underway to gather people’s opinions as part of that review.

Cllr Hazel Evans, Executive Board Member for Environment, said: “These temporary changes were introduced to support our town centres recover from the impact of the lockdown and allow people to shop and meet with people safely. We have taken feedback on board since August and made some changes already. Now this consultation will provide another opportunity to reflect and share your opinions so we can review the impact of these changes and also look ahead to the future.”

People and businesses can take part online by visiting www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/consultations before December 4.

Representations can also be made over the phone on 01267 234567 or by email at consultation@carmarthenshire.gov.uk.

Information about the temporary measures, including maps and answers to a range of common questions are available on the council’s website, www.carmarthenshire.wales.
