Plans for improvements to Tycroes Village Hall have been approved by Carmarthenshire councillors.
The scheme involves demolishing the rear kitchen and steps and building a two storey rear extension to provide a new kitchen, disabled toilet, baby changing facilities and multi-use rooms at the hall in Ammanford Road.
Local member Cllr Dewi Enoch submitted the application on behalf of the Tycroes Village Hall Committee and has indicated that the proposal will provide extra facilities for the numerous groups in the community who use the hall. Llanedi Rural Council said it supported the application.
An officers’ report to Tuesday’s meeting of the county council’s planning committee said: “Although the village hall provides a much needed community facility for residents and a number of local organisations, its present state means that the facilities on offer are of a somewhat sub-standard nature.
“The current proposal seeks to improve the general quality and level of facilities available within the hall with a view to making the building available for use by a wider range of local groups, organisations and residents.
