Thank you to those who were able to join the conversation last night. (07.10.21) The initial response was very positive and supports our intention to work in a community asset-based manner. Empowering the community of Llandeilo to focus on ‘what would improve their life’ with a positivity that encourages a solution focused drive abound with creativity.
Time frames and processes often help guide and support with planning and so I have prepared this information as a starting point; changes may be required to reflect community need.
