It is that time of year again when Neath Port Talbot councillors eagerly await news of whether or not certain highways and environmental projects within their wards have been successfully awarded funding.
Every autumn, we converge on council officers to submit a list of what we consider to be priority work needed to be done in our own areas. Each councillor’s list is then assessed, measured against the financial settlement for departments and, hey presto, the grandly titled “Environment Planned Works Programme” is produced for the financial year ahead.
For 2011-12, the following work is due to be carried out in the Taibach Ward:
Extra parking bays in Dyffryn Road
Lighting feasibility study for the road approaching Glenhafod Park, Goytre
Red Carpet Surfacing – Eastern Primary
Footway and carriageway resurfacing in St Albans Terrace
Discussions will now begin between councillors and officers on how to best invest the funding available under the separate Urban Streets Initiative – a scheme which is designed to improve the look of those side streets that lead off the main roads around the County Borough. As soon as I know the outcome of these meetings, I will let you all know.
