TRAVELLERS MOVED ON: Travellers who settled in a Newcastle Emlyn mart car park caused traffic problems on Friday.

Locals on social media were warning people of the traffic problems caused by the group congregating near the school. Carmarthenshire County Council has now reported that the travellers were asked to move on and did so by Monday morning.

Cllr Hazel Evans, executive board member for environment, said: “We met with travellers at the Newcastle Emlyn mart car park on Friday, and can confirm that they left the site on Monday morning. The site is now being cleared.”

PARKINSON’S CYMRU: The Emlyn and Tivyside Support Group will meet at the Rugby Club next Tuesday (15th) at 11am, when the group will be joined by members of Aberystwyth and Carmarthen branches. The groups are eagerly looking forward to a talk by Dr Weiser – a renowned Parkinson’s specialist, at approximately 12 noon, and a Carvery Lunch will be served at 1pm.

HANES EMLYN HISTORY: The exhibitions are open to the middle of September. Alongside our ‘Then & Now’ photo exhibition are some new items. A great deal of research has gone into producing a record of every gravestone and memorial to those who fell in the 1914-18 War over a five-mile radius from Newcastle Emlyn. The hardy annuals are still there, the schools, the railway, the duel and the electricity enhanced by computer displays. The broadband connection also makes it easier to research subjects. These have all been enjoyed over the last few weeks by a large number of visitors. We will endeavour to be open every weekday from 11am to 2.30pm until the middle of September, then at weekends till the end of the month.
