A Labour administration in Carmarthenshire would try to protect small and rural schools from closure, introduce "skip days" for people to get rid of junk, and consult residents about increasing council tax for second homes by up to 300%. The party, which is currently in opposition, has published a 32-page manifesto ahead of the council elections on May 5.
It would explore ways of enforcing minimum energy efficiency standards in the private housing rental sector, create an extra 100 allotments, and introduce a subsidised Actif membership card for all residents to encourage visits to country parks, leisure, culture and tourism facilities. The manifesto contains more than 110 pledges and aspirations - some reflecting Welsh Labour pledges, most specific to Carmarthenshire. The pledges fall under nine broad categories, and here are some of them. You can get more Carmarthenshire news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
