About Us

This new project aims to increase community involvement in the management of green and blue spaces (eg parks, community gardens, woods, footpaths, lakes, rivers) across 7 Community First areas in Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Swansea and Newport.

KWT project officers will work closely with Communities First staff and local residents from Neath Town Centre, Neath East, Brackla, Bettws, Penlan, Blaenymaes and Pilgwenlly to identify, and undertake, a range of environmental improvement projects over the next year.

Practical projects will include litter-picks, biodiversity improvements, access work aswell as a series of campaigns to raise awareness of local environmental issues such as dog fouling and flytipping.

Streetscene Surveying

The team have been out and about all this week surveying all seven of the areas and talking to residents. Using the new Streetscene Indicator survey, a new tool hot of the press from our LEAMS team in Cardiff, the team have been scouring and plotting the streets for litter, dog fouling, flytipping and other nasty items such as chewing gum and smoking related litter. These surveys will indicate which campaigns will be run in each area, for example, smoking litter seems to be more of a problem in Bettws, Bridgend whilst dog fouling was more predominant in Blaenymaes, Swansea.
Residents can nominate areas for practical activities, cleanups or graffiti removal by contacting their dedicated project officer listed on this blog.
