dismal and rundown? it looks like paradise from where I live.... sometimes the millions of folks who watch from countries where towns and cities have unwalkable sidewalks due to all kinds of neglect,poverty, authorities corruption, lack of education etc., where driving is a survival of the driving fittest, where bullying reigns etc etc, the above comment sounds trite.... I lived in Canada, in ¨"boring, dismal towns", and now living in a truly run down South American small city I long for a place shown in this video...wish I were there!!! thanks for posting!!!!
Hi @4k Explorer. We are broadcasting an event in Llanelli and were wondering if we could use some of your footage in our broadcast for a short montage of Llanelli. We would put credits on the screen and in the credit screen too. Please let me know if this is okay! Many Thanks Sam Jones TYPLive
it's kind of a town of two sides. It has a lot of potential but has been let down by the council and our countries attitude towards drugs. Most towns in the UK seem full of homeless drug addicts now.
I unfortunately had to live there for almost 2 years. Awful place. With exception to Parc Trostre, the whole area is just ubiquitously a complete eyesore with putrescent architecture, poverty and an utter lack of green space as all the neighbouring rural areas are just completely barren.
@@Dbdilly I live there from late 2020 to July the 18th of 2022. Plus, the reason Parc Trostre turned Llanelli into a ghost town is due to the fact in which people would much rather go to a newer retail park which doesn't have a festering infrastructure and a greater variety of shops to go to unlike Llanelli.
Strange comment. Parc Trostre could not be a more generic, boring shopping centre that could be anywhere in the country. As for green spaces, Llanelli has the best two parks I've ever seen, People's Park, but especially Park Howard and green walks down the coastline. The town centre has, admittedly, been pretty much ruined by planners and council officers with no vision.
@@johnrees8322 Parc Trostre might be somewhat generic and similar to most other modern retail parks, but it's still more commercially vibrant and dynamic in comparison to Llanelli. Llanelli itself is inefficient as you can't deny the fact in which it's economically disenfranchised with it being among the poorest regions in Northern Europe, and is systemically poverty stricken as a result with poverty and unemployment also ever prevalent. With exception to the ASDA and the few small shops throughout St Elli, it's nothing but charity shops and either failing business or ones which have already failed and are now contributing to Llanelli's deterioration and aesthetic despair. Covid-19 has also exacerbated this problem to the a billionth degree, and it's unlikely Covid-19's further burden on Llanelli function will ever be alleviated any time soon. The architecture throughout Llanelli is also uniform. As the entire settlement was originally a mining town, half if not most of the residential areas comprise the same old antiquated, terraced houses which were built in such era, whilst the other type of architecture which comprises Llanelli's residential areas are these really ugly council estate houses which are unanimously disliked, viewed as eyesores, and were even designed by an architect (Le Corbusier) who intentionally made such buildings as ugly as possible to fulfil his totalitarian mindset. The same horrible and dilapidated architecturally terraced housing and these ugly council estate housing which comprises all the residential areas of Llanelli in conjunction with the failing shops/commercialisation within the settlement...how is Llanelli at all a nice place to live in, again? I'm not trying to be rude; however, I honestly don't understand how one could overlook all these issues and still live in Llanelli and defend it. Park Howard is essentially just a small garden behind the museum, and People's Park is beyond futile. It's just a large and indistinct patch of grass with surrounding council estates and a nearby leisure centre which kinda ruins the vibe, and it's also used often by footballers which is really unpleasant for those who can't stand football such as myself. They're completely underwhelming in my opinion and don't even come close to compensating for the aforementioned problems Llanelli has (the economic inadequacy which is expressed by virtually all of its business and shops failing; it's antiquated and run down architecture; and the "beach" in Llanelli which isn't even a beach as it's usually just devoid of any water, and it usually resembles a giant desert awkwardly misplaced among an environment of distant hills and fields). These two small parks don't change the fact in which the overall environments which surround Llanelli are barren when compared to most other settlements throughout South Wales. I'm from Pembrokeshire (and thankfully was able to return here), and virtually all the settlements here are surrounded by greenery which is just immeasurably superior when compared to what's present around Llanelli.
