Gwendraeth Youth Forum has received a grant of £5,200 from Tidy Towns to support a subway clean up project.
The Youth Forum are giving up their free time to work on Crosshands Subway after it was identified by young people that the Subway was untidy and vandalised.
They hope to start on revamping the Subway in July and any young people from the Gwendreath area wanting to take part in the project are welcome to attend.
Young people from the Youth Forum have been working with Carmarthenshire County Council and graffiti Artist Lloyd Roberts to design and eye-catching mural that will replace the existing graffiti and vandalism at the Subway.
Co-op Crosshands will be providing refreshments to the young people during the project.
Charlene Dvaies, Chairperson of the Gwendreath Youth Forum said: “With the support of the County Council, Tidy Towns, Llannon Town Council and the South Wales Trunk Road Agency we have been able to develop this much needed project and I can’t wait to see our hard work on the Subway for everyone to see.”
Youth Link Officer, Rhys Morris added: “The Youth Forum wanted to tackle direct action to help solve the problem of vandalism. This will be a great piece of partnership work and will help improve the environment for the better.”
