What we do
The Town Council represents the opinions of Llandeilo people in all matters with particular
interest in:
-
transport matters – traffic problems, car parking
-
economic development – supporting shops and businesses
-
environmental matters - such as dog fouling, street lighting, footpaths
-
community projects – like our festivals and celebrations
-
leisure, the arts and recreation
The Town Council receives funding primarily via the County Council through its precept
- the annual allowance that sets the budget for the provision of services. The Town Council may raise additional
funds through loans or grants for special projects - such as the Town Enhancement Scheme.
The Town Council has the main responsibility for:
The Town Council owns the Shire Hall – bought with a loan and currently leased out
to the Dyfed Archaeological Trust.
The Town Council gives grants each year to organisations such as:
-
St Teilo’s church to help with floodlighting and maintenance of the graveyard
-
local festivals
-
schools and youth groups
-
local charities and clubs
-
any other local or national organisations whose work will benefit our townspeople
The Council considers applications for funding, under Section 137 of the Local Government
Act, four times a year. The maximum we can spend is currently £5 for every elector, in each financial
year. Any individuals or organisations whose project will be of some benefit to Llandeilo people are very
welcome to apply – we positively encourage more to do so. Applications should be made in writing
to the Town Clerk, should include a balance sheet of income and expenses for the past financial year, where
applicable, and should clearly describe the benefits.
