More news from south west Wales
A nursing recruitment agency has blamed a shortfall of entrepreneurs in south west Wales after it failing to employ a suitable manager to run its new Swansea operation.

Abacus Care, which has 25 franchises across the UK, has been unable to recruit an experienced manager to run the business.

Abacus claims 150 jobs could be created in the first year.

The agency has said there would be full and part-time healthcare staff with hospital, residential and care homes in Swansea and the surrounding area.


Beach body named by police

Dyfed-Powys Police has named the man found dead on the shoreline near Tenby on Saturday.

Stephen Gutteridge, 44, from Liverpool, had been on holiday in the area with his family.

His body was found near St Govan's head following a search.

He had been reported missing by his family after going for a walk.

The coroner has been informed.


Language group hold store protest

Campaigners from Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, the Welsh Language Society, have held a picket outside the Tesco store in Carmarthen.

The protesters are holding a series of events in west Wales as part of a campaign for a New Welsh Language Act.

The picketers refused to move when Dyfed-Powys Police officers arrived at the scene.

They were warned they could be arrested if they failed to move on, but the protesters vowed to stay until midday.
