Port Talbot is set to receive £8.2m of regeneration funding in a move expected to deliver 100 jobs.

Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens will announce the funding today for South Wales Industrial Transition from Carbon Hub (SWITCH) while chairing a meeting of the Tata Steel Port Talbot Transition Board.

The SWITCH project will redevelop a four-acre site at Harbourside, which will include the construction of additional shared space, undertake flood mitigation and the provision of specialist equipment.

The latest funding comes from the UK Government’s £80m Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board fund.

The leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, Cllr Steve Hunt, said: ‘We welcome this extra tranche of funding as the SWITCH project will attract jobs and investment to Neath Port Talbot as it progresses over the next few years. It also means this area can build on its long history in the steel and metals industries to address the challenges of our time.’
