Pontardawe Parking Consultation Extended

Gwenda Thomas today welcomed the decision by Neath Port Talbot Council to extend the consultation on the introduction of car parking charges in Pontardawe.

Mrs Thomas said: “After receiving many representations from concerned residents I contacted the Chief Executive’s office before Christmas to request an extension to consultation period. I am extremely glad that Steve Philips has recognised that a three week period over the Christmas holidays was not sufficient for a meaningful consultation.”

The consultation period will now run until the 14th of January.

Mrs Thomas said: “I would now encourage all residents and shoppers from Pontardawe to respond to the Council’s proposal. This is controversial proposal and could have important consequences for Pontardawe town centre.”
