Canal regeneration
Overview
We recognise the contribution that the Neath, Swansea and Tennant Canals make to Neath Port Talbot's:
- character
- living environment
- biodiversity
- economic vitality
- quality of life
Neath Port Talbot Council is not the owner of the canals. However, we want to create and encourage the partnerships needed to assist their regeneration. Regenerating these key heritage and environmental assets will benefit:
- our communities
- wildlife ecosystems
- the local economy
- future generations
Future regeneration of the canals will depend on the availability of funding.
Feasibility study
We commissioned a feasibility study to look at ways to restore and regenerate the Neath and Tennant Canals. The study, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, explored:
- restoration options
- environmental and heritage opportunities
- the economic and social benefits of canal regeneration
