16 new energy-efficient homes completed at Parc Pendre, Kidwelly

We're pleased to announce the completion of 16 new affordable homes at Parc Pendre, helping meet local housing needs while creating sustainable communities for the future.

The development includes a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, all featuring air source heat pumps, solar panels and high levels of insulation to help residents reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.

The impact is already being felt by new tenants, with residents describing their homes as ‘safe and secure’, ‘beautifully designed’ and ‘life-changing’. One tenant said their new home had improved their mental health, while another praised the home's accessibility and comfort. Families have also welcomed the opportunity for a fresh start in a high-quality and energy-efficient home.

Cllr Emlyn Schiavone, Cabinet Member for Homes, said: "Access to good quality, affordable homes improves health and well-being and helps build strong, sustainable communities."

Making the most of our green spaces this summer

With summer holidays upon us, we’re encouraging children and families to get outside and make the most of the green spaces on our estates. We have been cutting the grassed areas on our estates in readiness. Although we could do with a little rain to make them green again!

We encourage parents and carers to take advantage of these local spaces by spending time outdoors is a great way for children to stay active, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and enjoy time with friends and family. Whether it's running around with friends, playing ball games, exploring nature or simply enjoying some fresh air, our estates enjoy lots of ‘green’ spaces and provide a safe and accessible place for children to play close to home.

Let's make the most of the lovely weather and enjoy a healthy, active summer in our local communities.

Important information about recycling collections

Our new recycling service will launch from mid-late autumn 2026.

Around one third of households, mainly in the western part of Carmarthenshire, will change to a new recycling collections service called Separated Recycling. Homes changing to the new service will start sorting their recycling into separate reusable sacks and containers, instead of using single-use blue bags.

The remaining two thirds of homes will stay on the current Mixed Recycling (blue bags) service for now.

Every home in the county will receive a letter in the next few weeks confirming which recycling service applies to your home.

You can check online using our postcode checker here
