AN inquest has found that a vulnerable adult was failed by his care home after breaking his neck in a fall. Heddwyn Hughes, 67, was in the care of Hywel Dda Health Trust in Carmarthen. Here are your views:

ADAM WHITEHOUSE I am proud to have worked for Hywel Dda learning disabiliti­es service and provided with colleagues a high standard of care for many service users. Sometimes under very challengin­g circumstan­ces where some health staff would refuse to work. Heddwyn was a lovely man. Rest in peace. ROSEMARY ONSTWEDDER Condolence­s to family and friends. How tragic and a huge failure of authoritie­s. SUZANNE WAREHAM Awful.

POLICE have helped rescue a man who was threatenin­g to jump from a bridge in Carmarthen. The incident happened on Thursday night on King Morgan Bridge near the town centre. You said:

THE owners of blind and elderly Labrador Ebony feared the worst when she was swept away by strong river currents during Storm Callum. Turning to social media, Jeanette Hall, of Carmarthen, was amazed at the response from the community – and further afield – in helping to find her. Here’s what you thought: CHRISTINE JOHNS So glad to hear that she is safe and well!

LINDSAY BIDWELL What a wonderful ending. Bless her, I’m glad she’s safe. COLIN DAVIES What fantastic news, Lucky should be her name. HOLLY DAVIES Huge congratula­tions on the safe return of beautiful Ebony! DAVID EVANS Nice to hear a happy ending.
