A prominent development site in Aberavon, Port Talbot is to be given an overhaul to help show off its potential to investors.
The Burrows Yard site is in a popular residential area, close to Port Talbot’s town centre.
It lies just across the road from the successful Green Park redevelopment which has seen the transformation of a former industrial estate into a safe and desirable place to live, with excellent transport links and public pathways and cycle ways, riverside walk and park.
The work will include clearing vegetation and installing new perimeter fencing to secure the 40,000sqm site.
The new fencing will be made of steel, supplied by Tata, and can be reused on other sites once Burrows Yard has been developed.
Deputy Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, Cllr. Anthony Taylor said: “The Council is in discussions with potential developers and the redevelopment of the site will be another piece of the jigsaw of the regeneration work in and around Port Talbot.”
Gwaith yn dechrau i wella safle buddsoddi allweddol ym Mhort Talbot
Caiff safle datblygu amlwg yn Aberafan, Port Talbot, ei ailwampio’n llwyr i helpu i arddangos ei botensial i fuddsoddwyr.
Mae Iard Burrows mewn ardal breswyl boblogaidd sy’n agos at ganol tref Port Talbot.
Fe’i lleolir gyferbyn ag ailddatblygiad llwyddiannus, Parc Gwyrdd, sydd wedi cynnwys trawsnewid hen ystâd ddiwydiannol yn lle diogel a dymunol i fyw ynddo, gyda chysylltiadau trafnidiaeth, troedffyrdd cyhoeddus a llwybrau beicio ardderchog, llwybr glan afon a pharc.
Bydd y gwaith yn cynnwys clirio llystyfiant a gosod ffens berimedr newydd i ddiogelu’r safle 40,000 metr sgwâr.
Bydd y ffensys newydd wedi’u gwneud o ddur, a ddarperir gan Tata, a gellir eu hailddefnyddio ar safleoedd eraill unwaith y bydd Iard Burrows wedi’i ddatblygu.
Meddai Dirprwy Arweinydd Cyngor Castell-nedd Port Talbot, y Cyng. Anthony Taylor, “Mae’r cyngor wrthi’n cynnal trafodaethau â datblygwyr posib a bydd y gwaith i ailddatblygu’r safle’n elfen arall o’r gwaith adfywio ym Mhort Talbot a’r cyffiniau.”
