INFRASTRUCTURE projects in Carmarthenshire like new schools and a new Llanelli Leisure Centre are expected to cost £127 million in 2021-22.
The county council will fund £63.8 million of this sum, if capital spending proposals are approved, through borrowing, the sale of land and buildings, reserves and grants.
The capital budget proposals include £13.9 million of council funding towards a leisure centre at the planned Pentre Awel wellness and life science complex at Delta Lakes, Llanelli, and £2.3 million for the refurbishment of Llandeilo Market Hall.
There is £2.45 million for upgrades of two council buildings – Carmarthen’s County Hall and Llanelli’s Ty Elwyn – £860,000 for the revamp of the Oriel Myrddin gallery, Carmarthen, and £300,000 to realign the eroded coast path at Morfa Bacas, Bynea.
