Lakefield Road is predominantly an area of homeowners and privately rented accommodation with a resident mixture of families and older people.
A survey was carried out in 2022 on the future of Lakefield School. 47% of the community wanted the site to be used for housing, with the majority wanting accommodation that is adapted/accessible.

Copperworks School is located between Nevill Street and Glanmor Road and backs onto the Four Ty’s development site. The school was built in 1847 and is one of the oldest schools in the Llanelli area.
In 2022, a survey was carried out to ask the community their views on the future of the site. The majority of the community would prefer the area to be used for housing, a community hub and a play area. Consideration must be given to the future usage of the site, incorporating the aspirations of the community as well as the heritage, architecture and design of the building.
