Council reopens Neath's Victoria Gardens
Neath's historic Victoria Gardens have reopened to the public, following the completion of a £1.4m renovation programme carried out by the local authority.
Cadw and the Heritage Lottery Fund contributed towards the project, which was undertaken by Gee Construction on behalf of Neath Port Talbot Council (NPTC). A new internal drainage system has been installed, along with an automatic irrigation system for the main flower beds. Historic features such as the bandstand have been restored.
Meanwhile, a new visitor centre and a facility for park staff have been created, with the latter also available for use as a community meeting room or education and training venue. NPTC director of environment John Flower said: "Victoria Gardens is Neath's jewel in the crown. Sitting in the heart of the town centre, it is much loved by residents."
