A small market town located at the northern fringe of Carmarthenshire within the Teifi valley which serves a wide rural community on both sides of the river including Pencarreg, Llanllwni, Highmead and Alltyblaca.
The economy is primarily based around the agricultural sector and the towns major businesses are the Livestock Mart and its significant employer, Dunbia (meat processing). Llanybydder is positioned on the A485 that connects the town with Carmarthen although its closest centre is Lampeter to the northeast (5 miles) which locally acts as the main employment, retail and service centre.
It is characterised by a small retail centre geared towards the local day to day shopping, trade and service needs of the rural community. Outside of the town, the locality supports a wide range of agricultural and land-based industries, engineers, construction and manufacturing. There are several examples of food and drink, and tourism together with professional and lifestyle businesses. Llanybydder serves an important localised retail and service, social, employment and education role for the wider rural area including its surrounding settlements.
Our priorities
The primary focus of the Growth Plan is on the diversification of the local economy and a more resilient local business base beyond agriculture. Over the short to medium term, the aim is to identify and support opportunities for local maker, manufacturing and distribution businesses to grow.
To deliver the plan we set out the following priority actions:
- COVID-19 Recovery
- Supporting business growth
- SMART digital town and countryside
- Town centre and visitor economy
- Progressive procurement
- Community energy schemes
- Circular Economy
- Affordable homes
