What life's like now in the community whose former mayor said should be nuked

As cars screech down a residential street in Aberavon, one dad runs out of his home in Olive Street to grab his children by the collar and pull them back from the pavement. Whilst he wants his youngsters to be able to play outside with their friends, the vehicles using his estate as a ratrun have him constantly worried they’ll be injured.

Just a couple of weeks ago, a wall in nearby Norman Street became the latest casualty to the menace of speeding drivers in the area and this father does not want his children to be next.

Aberavon in Port Talbot is also plagued by littering. With plastic, paper and other rubbish blowing down the gutter in the wind and rubbish bags filled with household waste splitting and spilling into streets and back lanes, it’s no wonder residents are scowling at the mess in their local area.
