  • Deliver a new 3G sports pitch at Ammanford.

  • Consider the powers available in relation to local tourism levies and the impact of their introduction locally.
  • Develop a sport for all approach to support a broad range of participation in sports, from beginners to elite.
  • To increase the local economic impact of day visitors and overnight tourists across rural and urban Carmarthenshire.
