  • 36Acorn Directory of Services Neath Port Talbot.Pdf
    FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

  • Swansea Bay City Deal 1.1 Overview
    Swansea Bay City Deal Communications and Marketing Plan Greg Jones Swansea Bay City Deal Communications and Marketing Officer 1.1 Overview Signed by the Prime Minister in March 2017, the Swansea Bay City Deal is an unprecedented investment of up to £1.3 billion in the Swansea Bay City Region, which is made up of Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea. The City Deal consists of a portfolio of transformational programmes and projects which, subject to business case approvals, will be funded by the UK Government, the Welsh Government, the public sector and the private sector. A 15-year portfolio, the City Deal will transform the City Region into a centre of excellence for a number of sectors, including renewable/low carbon energy, life science and well-being, smart manufacturing and economic acceleration. A regional economic boost of at least £1.8 billion is projected over the lifespan of the portfolio, with the creation of over 9,000 jobs. City Deal projects include the Pentre Awel development in Llanelli; a life science, well-being and sport campuses scheme in Swansea; a city and waterfront digital district in Swansea; a low carbon programme in Neath Port Talbot featuring a specialist facility to support the steel and metals industry; and an off-shore testing area and associated facilities for marine energy technologies in Pembrokeshire. A homes as power stations project is also planned across the region, along with major digital infrastructure improvements and a skills and talent initiative that will give local people a pathway to access the employment opportunities being created.

  • Margam Radar Station
    Great Archaeological Sites in Neath Port Talbot 7. MARGAM RADAR STATION Not all archaeological sites are ancient, or even very old. Archaeology is the study of the physical remains of human activity, and that includes even things that happened very recently. The 50th anniversary of the Second World War in the 1990s saw a big upsurge of interest in finding and recording the remains of the structures that had been put in place for the defence of Britain, which were gradually becoming lost through neglect or active demolition. Comparing the official blueprints with the structures that were actually built on the ground, and linking them with the stories of the people who had known and used them, has increased our knowledge of this iconic period of our national history. Overlooking the Bristol Channel from high on the hillside above Port Talbot, alongside the Wales Coast Path inland route, stand the remains of a Chain Home Low Radar Station. The original Chain Home Radar system was developed to detect enemy aircraft, but whilst it was extremely effective at identifying aeroplanes at a distance and flying at high altitudes, it could not see them when they flew low on bombing missions. The development of Chain Home Low Radar filled in this gaps, using smaller, higher-frequency antennas which could be manoeuvred easily to pick up signals. These were initially fitted on to existing Chain Home Radar stations, but there were still gaps in reception, so separate Chain Home Low Radar stations were built to fill them in. The station at Margam is one of these, probably constructed by the army between 1941 and 1943 before the system was taken over by the RAF.
