It runs 67 car parks and said it wants a more simple system than currently.‌A council report has now made two main recommendations: a simplified tariff structure including a reduced tariff for rural areas; or a uniform £1 per hour tariff across all chargeable car parks with no distinction between urban and rural locations.‌The report said four other things could also be considered: introducing one hour free parking across chargeable car parks; discontinuing existing free parking periods; removing free parking days offered to town councils; and aligning Ammanford with Carmarthen and Llanelli as a principal town within the tariff structure.‌“
