The first steps are being taken in the creation of a brand new £250m holiday resort in the Afan Valley. The development will take a long time - with the man leading the project hoping it will be ready by 2027.
But work has to start somewhere, and fencing and temporary footpath closures are now being set up around a development site in the upper Afan valley, as the development gets underway.
Located on 132 hectares near the border between Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend County Borough, a joint letter from the local authorities for both areas and developer, Wildfox Resorts, is being issued to residents living in communities near the site, to advise them that the temporary measures are necessary for maintaining public safety.
