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.

Eaglesbush Valley Fly-Tip Removal

Eaglesbush Valley was a hive of activity on Monday when Alan, Dave (Communities First) and I along with 4 volunteers visited the site to remove some fly-tips. The top footpath and banks of the stream had become littered with builder’s rubble, discarded household items and the requisite tyres!

Over half a ton of fly-tip was removed which included:

• Shopping trolley
• Fly-mo
• 2 x Car tyres
• 1 x Tractor tyre
• Various plastic containers containing a variety of foul smelling liquids!
• IT Equipment
• Wheelbarrow
• Sacks of Builders rubble
• 7 x bags of litter

This beautiful nature reserve is now cleaner and tidier, footpaths accessible and hazards removed thanks to your help; so a huge thanks to everyone from the Neath Environmental Action Team who assisted.
