Dyfodol Salem: Community Facilities project
What’s it all about?
After serving the community for over 150 years, Salem’s historic Angel Inn closed its doors in July 2022. The Angel was the heart of our village, and its closure was disappointing for the community. This project is born out of the campaign to save it, and the desire of the community to come together and bring the life back to our village.
Through the Heol-galed Memorial Hall charitable trust, the village already owns a thriving community hall and field - so we've formed a working group and are developing a vision for extending the community facilities on that site.
Improved facilities could offer affordable food and drink, a cafe or social club and wi fi daytime space, with a small shop, parcel collection and improved space for clubs and societies to meet and socialise. It could provide a tourism offer, jobs for local people and a warm space for us all to connect, meet old friends and make new ones. There are lots of examples where this works well elsewhere in Carmarthenshire and across Wales.
We want to know what you think - and need your input to shape our vision.
