The former Debenhams on St Catherine鈥檚 Walk in Carmarthen city centre, which shut in May 2021, is to be refitted for council use. It will house council customer services, a careers and employment advice service, a preventative health clinic, a tourist information office, a gym and some of the county鈥檚 museum artefacts.
Carmarthen Hwb/Hub is a collaboration between Carmarthenshire County Council, Hywel Dda University Health Board and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD).
More than 拢15m of the 拢19m project cost is coming from the UK government鈥檚 Levelling Up fund. The county council is putting up the balance.
A notice of commencement was issued on 13th March 2023.
Preferred contractor Bouygues UK has already been working with local subcontractors on a 聽project at Pentre Awel in Llanelli.
Bouygues UK regional managing director John Boughton said that refurbishment of the 8,000 sq m building was 鈥渁 unique development that brings together health, education and public services under one roof鈥�.
