Llandovery
Part of the Ten Towns initiative
A gateway to the Brecon Beacons, a destination of choice providing a culture of dynamic, sustainable outdoor recreation and a great welcome.
Llandovery is an exemplar, sustainable and developing market town supporting a thriving business community and supporting its residents. It has a reputation as being dynamic, adaptable and outward-looking.
The town is a place for start-ups, spin-offs and growing micro-businesses attracted by its accessibility and quality of the environment. The ‘makers-quarter’ in the town is developing a new generation of makers, designers, engineers and creative entrepreneurs.
The re-energised town centre is central to community life offering a mix of commercial uses alongside traditional retail uses all supported by a regular programme of innovative events.
New housing, which reflects the unique character and attraction of the countryside, is drawing families and young people to relocate to the town supported by excellent digital and transport infrastructure.
Our priorities
Our Economic Growth Priorities focus on achieving sustainable local economic growth which is shared by all whilst at the same time protecting, maintaining and celebrating our high-quality natural environment.
To deliver the plan we set out the following priority actions:
- Supporting business resilience and future growth
- Re-energising the town’s tourism product and profile
- Re-imagining the town centre
- Infrastructure (Digital and Development)
- People and Skills – enabling people to access work and develop skills to achieve their potential
- Cross-cutting Priority: Communication, collaboration and empowerment
