Llanelli Star

LABOUR Llanelli town councillors have blasted possible plans to relocate a drug rehabilitation service close to Parc Trostre Retail Park as “barmy”.

- IAN LEWIS Reporter

A former office building at the retail park, which might have become a Lidl store and coffee shop, is being offered as a potential venue for a drug rehabilitation service. Carmarthenshire Council's vacant Ty’r Nant office is around 50 metres from fast-food retailer KFC and adjacent to B&Q’s car park.

Cabinet members on the county council have agreed to offer it to a multi-agency group called Dyfed Area Planning Board, which commissions substance misuse services in the region.

Through this arrangement another group, called Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Services (DDAS), provides support for over-18s from the first floor of Boots on Vaughan Street, Llanelli.
