Work is progressing well on the Cross Hands West site which will create hundreds of jobs and provide housing and health facilities.
The multi-million-pound development includes planning consent for a new Sainsbury’s store; a 250-home residential scheme; new bus bays and access for Ysgol Maes y Gwendraeth; petrol station; highways work; a health centre; and refurbishment of Cross Hands Workingmen’s Club.
The land is being developed through a Joint Venture partnership between Carmarthenshire County Council and property developers George LB.
Work is on target for the main infrastructure including the link road and is progressing well on the refurbishment of the Workingmen’s Club.
A deal has been signed with national housebuilder Persimmon Homes for the 16 acres of residential development and planning permission has been applied for.
The Cross Hands West site is situated on brown-field land next to the A48, between the former Kwiksave store and Heol-y-Parc Road.
Carmarthenshire’s Leader Cllr Kevin Madge said: “I am delighted that work is progressing well on this site which will bring so many benefits to Carmarthenshire, creating hundreds of much needed jobs.”
