Greener look as square set to get new lease of life

A SQUARE in Carmarthen will be given a major lease of life including covered eating areas and new shrubs and flowers.

There have been previous attempts by Carmarthenshire Council to redevelop the informal square off Jackson’s Lane but nothing came to fruition.

Members of the council's planning committee approved the latest application which seeks to create a welcoming landscaped space benefiting businesses and residents.

There'll be new pergolas, replacement paving, an informal play area, low-level lighting and seating areas. The existing walls and railings will be renovated, and trees will be retained.
