Work on a flood management scheme in an area previously hit by flooding is set to begin this year. Work on the second phase of the scheme at Brynau Farm next to Gnoll Country Park, Neath aims to safeguard residents and reduce the risk of flooding in the town.
The first phase of the scheme, which is being delivered by Neath Port Talbot Council in partnership with Welsh Government and the Woodland Trust, was completed at Preswylfa Dingle in November 2021, with a council spokesperson confirming that stage two of the project will begin soon.
It is thought the scheme will help people in the area which has seen flooding as recently as November 2022, when businesses and homes were damaged after a culvert collapsed. You can read more about what happened here.
