Today (Thursday 18 June 2026) Carmarthenshire County Council is marking Clean Air Day which supports clean air and air quality for residents and the millions of visitors to the county.
The County Council’s Pollution Team is also working with schools across Carmarthenshire, with year five pupils learning about air pollution, its impact on health and the small actions we can all take to improve the air we breathe.
The team also partnered with theatre companies to deliver fun and educational performances, with more than 1,000 children taking part.
The County Council also continues to ensure residents can enjoy the county’s stunning natural environment with updated walking trails and cycling routes as well as major new projects such as the new Tywi Valley Path, a landmark 13-mile walking and cycling route through the Tywi Valley which connects Carmarthen to Llandeilo.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Decarbonisation and Sustainability, Cllr Aled Vaughan Owen, said:
“The positive work carried out by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Pollution Team to educate young people on the small changes we can make for a healthier Carmarthenshire shows the next generation the massive benefits of cleaner air to both our physical and mental health.
By engaging pupils in creative and interactive ways, Clean Air Day helps inspire the next generation to think about air quality and the role we all play in creating cleaner, healthier communities.”
The educational work carried out has been supported by Welsh Government funding through the Local Air Quality Management programme.
