New street art murals appear in Cross Hands and Llandeilo

The artworks, created by Llanelli-based street artist Steve ‘Jenks’ Jenkins, are part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s Ten Towns Project.

This project provides funding to support the economic recovery and growth of rural towns across the county.

The Cross Hands piece is located on the side of the Squires and Lane Hair Academy and Salon.
