Transforming Tyisha project takes next exciting step
Our multi-million-pound regeneration project which is set to transform Tyisha is now underway, and we are inviting potential partners to share their vision with us to build new housing and create a vibrant community.
The early market engagement process gives residential housing contractors the opportunity to express their interest in working with us to transform the area commonly known as ‘the four Tys’, which are set to be demolished this Autumn.
Our plans for the area include building a modern, mixed-use housing development which meets the needs of the community, as well as improvements to existing homes and the creation of community facilities and green spaces for everyone to enjoy.
It forms a part of our ambitious plans to regenerate the Tyisha ward and the wider Llanelli town centre area which is undergoing massive investment.

What does the plan involve?
The plan is to deliver new mixed-use housing developments, develop more community facilities and bring vacant business premises back into use. Action will be taken to improve the environment and to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour along with providing opportunities for education, training, and employment. This will include:
- Approximately 110 new housing units of mixed tenure
- Boulevard landscaping with better links to the town centre and the new Pentre Awel development
- New shops and offices within the area
- Improvements to the railway station and promoting greener travel with new accessible cycle routes
- Turning the old goods yard into offices and potential community facilities
Four Tys update
Work to demolish the Four Tys housing blocks has now begun and will take approximately 20 weeks to complete.
The demolition will enable the build of a modern, mixed-use housing development which meets the needs of the community, as well as improvements to existing homes and the creation of community facilities and green spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Anti-social behaviour
We are working hard to tackle anti-social behaviour in Tyisha.
Waste and recycling
We are aware that there have been issues with waste, litter and fly-tipping in recent months. Our action to date has had a positive impact in the area having seen a reduction in the amount of fly-tipped waste collected since the start of the year. We will continue to monitor, review and make changes where needed to ensure that fly-tipping and litter continues to decrease in the area, and enforcement action is taken against those that continue to offend.
Community wardens hit the streets of Tyisha and Glanymor
We have recently appointed two new community wardens to patrol the Tyisha and Glanymor areas of Llanelli.
Tyisha’s new community wardens will patrol the area to help deter crime and anti-social behaviour including vandalism and fly-tipping as well as supporting the community. Their role includes:
- Patrolling hot spot areas to deter crime and anti-social behaviour
- Tackling vandalism and fly tipping as well as issues relating to communal areas and open spaces/parks
- Supporting the introduction of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
- Organising the installation of crime prevention measures
- Offering targeted support to vulnerable members of the community
- Encourage wellbeing activities and community engagement with youth projects, schools and clubs including the promotion of volunteering opportunities.
Tyisha welcomes new Neighbourhood Watch schemes
Three new Neighbourhood Watch schemes have recently been introduced to areas of Tyisha with support from Carmarthenshire County Council.
The Neighbourhood Watch schemes are now looking for volunteers to help make them a success through helping to increase feelings of community safety and reducing instances of crime.
