£12.16m go ahead for historic Neath Port Talbot bridge project is welcomed
Confirmation of £12,166,268 in UK Government funding for a project to restore and reopen the historic Newbridge Road Bridge in Aberavon has been welcomed.
The project not only involves the restoration of the Grade II listed bridge it will also see a shared pedestrian and cycle track built into the bridge’s carriageway and there will also be upgrades for Newbridge Road and Riverside Road.
At a recent meeting of the Visible Services and Streetscene Scrutiny Committee, a number of options regarding parking charges were considered. The committee recommended to revert to free parking along the on-street laybys, alongside the introduction of one- and two-hour short-stay tariffs in the main car parks.
In addition, the committee proposed that enforcement of the current charges be suspended with immediate effect, rather than waiting for the completion of a new Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), which may take some time.
A final decision on these recommendations will be made by Cabinet on Monday 4th August.
