Audio transcript

Photo of bus stop
This bus stop reminds me of where I live. We don’t have a shelter where I wait for my school bus in the morning. When it rains we try to keep dry in peoples porches. I would like a bus stop. The last one was taken away because of vandalism, but that was 10 years ago and we are a new generation.

Photo of park
This is in my community. When I was small I practically lived in the park. I went there nearly every day. When the pool hasn’t got water in it I play football in it. The pool is only filled during the summer holidays. There is often rubbish and broken glass in the pool which is quite annoying, I wish people didn’t throw bottles in there.

Photo of shelter
This is a shelter in Bwlch Youth Centre, but we all call it Morfa. Me and my friends go to the youth club. We would like a youth shelter in Seaside with Bluetooth to play music and lights.

Photo of Llanelli from park
This park is by my old primary school Bigyn. Me and my aunty used to say that there should be a lift or an escalator to get us up the steep hill in the morning.

Photo of multi-ball court
This is a multi-ball court in Morfa. I like to play football and sometimes basketball there. This is a lot of fun because I like football. It would be nice if we had a multi-ball court in Seaside.

Photo of wooden ship on Chocky Hill
This is a ship up on Chocky Hill. Chocky Hill is on a field in Seaside. It is new and has trees and leaf shaped benches around it. I go up there with my family sometimes. At the bottom of the hill I play rugby and football with my sister and cousins.

Half Term doesn't have to be half the fun in G&T!

Youth Night!

2008-10-21T12:16:00.016+01:00

C1st and its Youth Action Group's aim is to help make Glanymor & Tysiha a great community for young people.

That means getting local organisations and the community on board to provide opportunities, activities and facilities that young people want. It also means working to help the community and young people to live together happily.

In order for C1st and your community to achieve this goal, we need to know what young people think of G&T as it is now, and the activities and facilities currently provided. With this information, C1st can work towards achieving a community that everyone enjoys living in. This process is called consultation.

On Wednesday 29 October, starting at 6pm, C1st is holding a Youth Night at the C1st Centre in 26-28 Inkerman Street, Llanelli. With the support of the Carmarthenshire Connect project (http://www.carmsconnect.org.uk/), this event will be a chance for young people to make a digital story about their views, opinions and hopes for their community. These will then feature on this, and Carmarthenshire Connect's, blog. This is a chance for you to chance to have your say on how you'd like to see your community develop for you, and the activities you'd like to do.

The G&T C1st Centre in Inkerman Street, Llanelli

In order to participate in this event, a parent/guardian must complete a consent form. Download and print this consent form, or pick one up from the C1st Centre, get it filled in by a parent/guardian and bring it with you on the night.
