An investigation has been launched into reports of asbestos being found on a beach at the site of an old power station.
Burry Port mayor Mike Theodoulou said he was furious about the situation and wanted the beach - between Burry Port and Pall - cordoned off.
He said his own grandchildren played on the sands and was worried they and others were at risk.
Carmarthenshire council insisted the material posed very little risk .
Mr Theodoulou said the authority and Natural Resources Wales (NRW) had been notified two months ago, but nothing had been done.
