Henllanfallteg is not part of your address and you won't find it on any road signs but since 1935 it has been the official name of the Community you have come to live in. It comprises the villages/communities of Llanfallteg, Henllan Amgoed, Cwmfelin Boeth, Hiraeth, and Rhydywrach. Outside our Community Area you will not find too many people who have heard of it either! Use the village names – they are well known!
Postal addresses can be confusing but the vast majority are Whitland SA34, but there are in the western edge a few that are Clynderwen SA66 addresses. Phone numbers equally confusing with the western side mostly 01437 (up to the centre of Llanfallteg) and to the eastern side 01994, Whitland or Llanboidy numbers. The other exchange that borders onto us is 01834 Narberth on the southern side.
HENLLANFALLTEG
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION was set up in 1997 and subsequently took on with help from ACCT the construction of The Millennium Hall, with grant money from the National Lottery and Millennium Commission.
The Henllanfallteg Community Association has prepared this information for new residents. The Community Association publishes a newsletter every four months and organises functions throughout the year. Most of these take place in the new Millennium Hall in Llanfallteg where you also come and vote.
