The Tyisha area of Llanelli is to be transformed as part of a multi-million-pound regeneration project.
It follows a major consultation exercise with residents and businesses to create a vibrant, new community which will give the area a complete overhaul.
A regeneration masterplan has been drawn up and will now be put into action. The aim is to create a vibrant community where people want to live and work. Tyisha is seen as an area of strategic importance, providing a vital link between Llanelli town centre and Pentre Awel at Delta Lakes.
However, the ward is one of the most deprived in the county, with various socio-economic and environmental challenges. It has the highest population density in Carmarthenshire, and over a quarter of housing is social rented, in low demand and difficult to let; with a high proportion of flats and maisonettes which no longer meet the needs of the community.
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.
The regeneration of Tyisha is estimated to cost in excess of £20million and a total of £9.3million has already been allocated from our New Build Programme for housing specifically for the Station Road area. A community steering group has been set up and the council is working with various partners including Dyfed-Powys Police and Llanelli Town Council to drive forward the project.
