Residents at Glanmor Terrace, Burry Port, have been thanked for their patience while the council deals with unauthorised vehicles parked on land opposite their homes.
The issue, on land owned jointly by Carmarthenshire County Council and Welsh Government, centres particularly around a number of caravans.
Legal complexities have prevented a quick-fix to the problem, but residents have been reassured that the council is working hard towards a solution that will limit the impact on the neighbouring highway.
The council’s transport department will shortly undertake a survey to monitor and collate evidence about traffic flow, which will help inform a decision on the most appropriate action to take.
Each resident has received a letter explaining the current position and informing them that a public meeting may be arranged in the near future to share the findings of the survey and possible solutions.
They have also been encouraged to come forward with their own suggestions that the council may wish to consider, within the parameters of the law.
Speaking jointly, local members Cllr Pat Jones and Cllr John James, said: “We know that residents are frustrated with the delay – as are we – but we want everyone to know the efforts we, and council officers, are making to come up with a solution that will work. There are several legal issues that have made finding a solution quite difficult, but we are confident the issue can be resolved.
“In the meantime, we are always open to people’s suggestions and welcome their views and feedback.”
