Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 06:22 · Archive
A wheelchair-accessible transport service now offers travel to a health and wellbeing centre in Llanelli.
The 'On the Go' wheelchair-accessible transport service, delivered in partnership by Dolen Teifi and Age Cymru Dyfed, has expanded to offer travel to Canolfan Pentre Awel in Llanelli. The service supports residents with disabilities across Carmarthenshire and helps people access leisure services, community health care appointments and community events.
Dolen Teifi currently operates ten vehicles from locations across the county, including Newcastle Emlyn, St Clears, Llandovery, Llandeilo and Tumble. Age Cymru Dyfed is adding five more vehicles to the 'On the Go' fleet to reach more communities.
Counsellor Hazel Evans, cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism at Carmarthenshire County Council, said the service 'reinforces the idea of community connectivity, helping to reduce barriers when trying to access services and encourage more sustainable transport options'. Tom Cowcher, chair of Dolen Teifi, said community transport helps people, particularly those in rural areas, 'remain independent and connected to their communities'.
