SWANSEA, NEATH and TENNANT CANALS
An informal partnership of voluntary and statutory bodies is looking in detail at the possible
future of the waterways in the Neath and Swansea areas.
It is proposed that the historic Swansea, Neath and Tennant
Canals, together with the Tawe River Navigation, would be linked to form a 35
mile regional waterway. Obstructions would be removed from the Swansea and
Neath Canals. New canals would be built at Swansea Vale and Swansea Waterfront. The Brunel
Dock at Briton Ferry would be linked to the Neath Canal.
At the heart of the waterway would be Swansea Marina, Swansea
Museum, the National Waterfront Museum
for Wales, and SA1 Swansea Waterfront.
The Swansea Community Boat Trust is following the proposals
with interest.
