Gwenda Thomas, AM for Neath, today welcomed the decision by Neath Port Talbot Council to extend the consultation on car parking charges in Pontardawe.
Mrs Thomas said: “After receiving many representations from concerned residents I contacted the Chief Executive’s office before Christmas to request an extension to consultation period. I am extremely glad that Steve Philips has recognised that a three week period over the Christmas holidays was not sufficient for a meaningful consultation.”
The consultation period will now run until the 14th of January.
Mrs Thomas said: “I would now encourage all residents and shoppers from Pontardawe to respond to the Council’s proposal. This is controversial proposal and could have important consequences for Pontardawe town centre.”
