Rural Development Plan News
RDP Launch in Neath Port Talbot
The Rural Development Plan was launched in Neath Port
Talbot on the 23rd February 2009 at the Dulais Valley Partnership
offices in Seven Sisters. The key speakers were the then
Leader of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Cllr Derek
Vaughan and the Chief Executive of Neath Port Talbot County Borough
Council Ken Sawyers.
Cllr Vaughan said "All these projects will make a significant
improvement to life in the rural wards of Neath Port Talbot. It
will mean more job opportunties, people joining in with
environmental work, funding for organisations, and a better
transport system. It will also mean we can look at how tourism can
bring benefits to rural communities and how we can encourage
enrepreneurs to start up local businesses".
During the event, Cllr Vaughan also launched two of the projects
– Accommodation Providers Grant Scheme and Y Gronfa Wledig.
The Launch was well attended and was a great networking
opportunity.
