The council say the proposal will relocate the existing bus station at Victoria Gardens to Neath railway station, creating a single transport hub in the town centre. Additionally, to help improve and integrate the active travel network into the public transport system, secured cycling facilities and dedicated cycling and walking routes will be added.

If approved, the council says the hub would redevelop the area around Station Square and would serve as a striking new gateway to Neath town centre, encouraging people to visit, shop, work and explore.

The council and its partners, Transport for Wales, Network Rail, and infrastructure experts Amey, want views on the proposals from businesses and members of the public. A public consultation is being held between 30th April and 11th June.
