It’s full steam ahead for plans to ease parking issues at Glangwili Hospital thanks to a new agreement between Hywel Dda University Health Board and the Gwili Railway Company.

The health board has been working closely with the popular tourist attraction which officially opened its new car park to Gwili Railway visitors in August.

The extra spaces will be released in phases. By the end of September, there will be 144 extra spaces available exclusively to Hywel Dda staff from Monday to Friday, while the spaces will be used at the weekend by visitors to the Gwili Railway.

Now that these spaces are available, the hospital will reserve the top car park – which has 64 spaces - exclusively for patients.
