Council Merger 12:16 - Dec 1 with 3357 viewsbennytee

I hear they are looking to merge Swansea and Neath Port Talbot councils.
What will this mean in terms of council tax? Neath Port Talbot seem to pay a huge amount more right across the board.

Neath is just a better place to live and the people are far superior.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

It became Neath.

There is a fair bit of opposition to this merger in NPT as Swansea have a few "issues" and there is also a feeling that the authority would become Swansea centric,

It will happen as the WAG need to justify their existence but there will be a few battles.

All that is assuming Labour get back in, there are real fears after the last election that a combination of voter apathy and Plaid and or UKIP (if they still exist) will cause an upset.

Unless Corbyn has truly revived Labour.

I thought at least some of what used to be Lliw Valley became part if Swansea? Neath got the scabby bits the big city didn't want. Pontardawe, for example.

True, Swansea got south of Pontadawe, Neath Port Talbot got everything north of that. Very odd decision as I wouldn't have thought that there was any historical links between the boroughs as they were, it has always been the Swansea valleys to me.

Me too and I do it at least twice a day. They have higher council tax than us across the bridge.

It could mean cost savings with less Directors and Councillors. 8 LAs is still too many for me. It is divide and rule at the moment. We should have no more than 4 and ours should be the South West Wales Authority.

22 different local authorities in an area the size of Wales is madness. How much replicating of the provision of services is going on? What a waste of money.

My wife worked for the eduction department in special needs provision. When West Glamorgan split up into Swansea and NPT the whole structure to provide special needs services doubled overnight. You might think that the two authorities would combine resources for the benefit of all but the village mentality prevailed and both authorities set up autonomous services,

Recently I broached this subject with regards to the proposed Liverpool City region which will take in a very diverse mix of towns and villages .

Some ,like St Helens, Southport,Wirral feel main issue is lack of identity and being swallowed up in a larger connobation.

The credit side is that it will be a devolved region with more powers over the budget.


Depends if Swansea wants to take in all the little towns and villages around it and finally move the feck on instead of stagnating

Neath Council spent all the money in the kitty before they merged with Port Talbot.
