Glynneath is a vibrant, engaged, Welsh valley town. Located in the Vale of Neath within walking distance of the popular Waterfall Country and at the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, it has a rich heritage of industrial and community values, having been home to the coal industry during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its location is served by the A465 with great access to the whole of Wales through the Rhondda Valley, Dulais Valley, and The Midlands.
Glynneath has a population of over four thousand people, and is democratically administered by two tiers of local government: the principal local authority of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, and a dedicated Town Council.
Glynneath has a wide spectrum of groups, organisations and clubs to cater for all individuals, rich in a heritage of arts, sports, and culture. Various facilities and venues cater for these groups with the Town Council responsible for:
- Glynneath Welfare Park – play areas, tennis courts, and recreational sports fields.
- Ynys Y Nos Park near Pont Walby
- Glynneath Dynamic and Skate Park near the Vale of Neath Leisure Centre
- Glynneath Town Hall at Heathfield Avenue
- Bethania Community Centre at High Street
- Waun Gron Cemetery
All members of the public are entitled to attend the meeting and are cordially invited by the Council to do so. Time will be set aside prior to the published agenda to enable informal discussion to take place.
