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.

We live in turbulent economic times. We must be clear as to where we should concentrate our collective efforts at a time when our budgets are reducing and there are many challenges facing people in our communities. This is why having listened to your views we are going to prioritise action in connection with children and young people, anti-poverty, health inequities and transport. We have much to be proud of but if we want to create a Neath Port Talbot where everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthier, happier, safer and more prosperous, in the current climate we need to redouble our efforts to tackle poverty and ill health. This Plan sets out our priorities for action and how we will monitor the progress as we implement our plans. It also describes our wider partnership work that we will continue to take forward. We have a long history of working together and this gives us confidence that we are well placed to make a difference across Neath Port Talbot.

The Swansea Bay Tidal Generating Station Project Memorandum of Understanding
DRAFT FOR COMMENT THE SWANSEA BAY TIDAL GENERATING STATION PROJECT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN TIDAL LAGOON (SWANSEA BAY) PLC AND WELSH MINISTERS 1. PARTIES 1.1 Tidal Lagoon (Swansea Bay) plc (“TLSB”) and the Welsh Ministers (together, the “Parties”) have entered into this memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to address matters of planning that have been omitted from The Swansea Bay Tidal Generating Station Order 20151 (the “Order”). 1.2 This MOU does not comprise a legally binding contract, but sets out the Parties’ understanding of the matters that it contains. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 TLSB is promoting the Swansea Bay Tidal Generating Station project (the “Project”), which is a nationally significant infrastructure project within the meaning of sections 14(1) and 15 of the Planning Act 2008 (the “2008 Act”), and is authorised by the Order. The Project will be constructed primarily upon land within Swansea Bay below mean low water and adjacent to land within the City and County of Swansea and the County Borough of Neath Port Talbot. The local planning authority for the City and County of Swansea is the City and County of Swansea Council (“CCSC”). The local planning authority for the County Borough of Neath Port Talbot is Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (“NPTCBC”). 2.2 Neither CCSC nor NPTCBC (together the “Local Authorities”)) has jurisdiction as local planning authority over land that lies seaward of mean low water in Swansea Bay. 2.3 The Order was granted subject to certain requirements imposed under section 115(4) of the 2008 Act. 2.4 Before commencing the development approved by the Order, certain requirements, which relate (wholly or in part) to works or matters seaward of mean low water that are envisaged by the Order, require the prior approval of matters by a local planning authority.

Swansea Canal
Swansea Canal Clydach to Pontardawe Playing Fields Restoration Feasibility Study Swansea Canal Society 2013 Swansea Canal Clydach to Pontardawe Playing Fields Restoration Feasibility Study Client: Swansea Canal Society Funding: Inland Waterways Association Prepared By Patrick Moss Jennifer Smith Tamarisk Kay Nick Dowling Authorised for Issue By Patrick Moss Moss Naylor Young Limited 5 Oakdene Gardens Marple Stockport SK6 6PN Town Planning, Transport Planning, Waterway Regeneration Executive Summary This report, prepared by Moss Naylor Young Limited, has been commissioned by the Swansea Canal Society to examine a proposal to restore the Swansea Canal between Clydach and Trebanos. It examines at outline level the practicality, cost and potential benefits of restoration of the Swansea Canal from Clydach to Trebanos. This length of approximately four kilometres is assessed as a free standing scheme although it could also form part of the restoration of a longer length of canal if that were to proceed. This study has used as its core baseline document the Feasibility Report undertaken by WS Atkins in 2002. The genesis of this latest project is an apparent opportunity to reclaim the line of the canal through a depot site just to the east of the town of Clydach. The restoration is straight forward from an engineering perspective: the only significant obstacle is the infilling of the canal route across the depot site, and the canal line is more or less clear across this. The works to conceal the lock have, as far as can be ascertained, also worked to preserve it. Re-excavation of the canal and the lock would result in a continuous waterway linking the canal either side of the site.
