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.

Residents from the Fairyland estate nominated a community area to benefit from some of the Outcomes funding. Previously identified as a space for a flower bed the resident’s hopes are to turn an unused circular bed into a colourful area with a crimson maple tree as the focal point. NPT Homes have kindly given permission to use the area which will eventually be dedicated to precious young lives lost from the estate in recent years.
Fairyland has a very pro-active residents group on the estate and this project will be an environmental improvement for both the estate and the community. The recreational site is already well used by residents of all ages and is a space where children get together to play and parents get together to socialise. The tree will inject colour into a drab and colourless landscape and provide a permanent memory of those who have tragically passed away early in their lives.
