Consultations

Thank you for visiting Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council's consultation page which will allow you to comment and provide feedback on topics relevant to Neath Port Talbot.

We look forward to reading your responses to our consultations.

We need your help to ensure the Newbridge Road Bridge project meets the needs of your community. Share your thoughts by completing our feedback questionnaire.

The Newbridge Road Bridge Active Travel Link project will restore this historic Grade II listed structure and reopen it as a safe, accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists, creating a vital link between key areas of Port Talbot.

The scheme will transform the bridge into a shared-use path connecting Riverside Road and Newbridge Road, complemented by a new shared footway along Riverside Road and traffic-calming measures on Newbridge Road to improve safety and encourage active travel.

The re-opening of Newbridge Road Bridge is being considered alongside the wider Sandfields Masterplan, which aims to make it easier for everyone to walk, cycle or wheel for everyday journeys.

A public consultation for the Newbridge Road Bridge project will be taking place between Monday 2nd February and Sunday 15th March 2026. We are keen to understand your opinions to ensure that the scheme serves the needs of you and your community.
