THE first phase of a £200 million-plus healthcare, medical research and leisure development in Llanelli is expected to be handed over to Carmarthenshire Council in the "next few weeks" following delays.

Weeks to go before first part of £200m scheme can open

It'll consist of a new leisure centre, including a sports hall and fitness studios, plus a 25m swimming pool, a learner pool, and a hydrotherapy pool.

There'll also be a cafe, a communal space, and a health and well-being academy with a range of clinical rooms run by Swansea University.

Work began at the Delta Lakes site in Llanelli early in 2023 and the aim was to complete phase one - or Canolfan, as it's now known - in autumn 2024.

The target date slipped and the council, which is leading the project, announced last September that due to bad weather delays Canolfan would open in spring 2025.
