Livestock sales may soon restart at Carmarthen mart after the local council announced that it had secured a new leaseholder for the site.
Nock Deighton, which runs the successful Newcastle Emlyn livestock market, has won the tender to run the mart, located in Nantyci.
The company is set to make a substantial initial investment in upgrading the facilities, and intends to create 19 local jobs and work for local auctioneers.
The mart, previously operated by BJP Marts, is seen as a traditional and prominent fixture in Carmarthenshire’s agricultural industry.
