Llanelli Waterside

The project aims to create a mix of residential housing and business premises from reclaimed industrial land.

Zone one will include a leisure centre and clinical and educational units as well as hospitality accessible by active travel links.

Named "The Works", the development would consist of an open plaza linking the two primary facilities – a cultural centre consisting of an auditorium, TV studio and an art-house cinema and the grade 2 listed tinning shed which would be transformed into a restaurant and craft gallery.

"The Works" would act in partnership with Coleg Sir Gâr, a local college, which would have use of the facilities for education purposes.

[4] On 27 October 2007, Carmarthenshire County Council announced that the lottery bid had been unsuccessful, and that other means of funding the development would need to be considered.
