About

Port Talbot ward is located on the eastern side of the town of Port Talbot, bordering the River Afan and the Margam district. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing from different periods, and is served by local shops and community facilities along streets like Talbot Road. The ward includes the Sandfields area, known for its grid-like street layout developed in the early 20th century to house steelworkers and their families.

The landscape is largely urban, with industrial views dominated by the Port Talbot Steelworks, a major local employer. Green spaces include the playing fields at Marston Stadium and the Afan Valley Park. The area's identity is closely tied to the steel industry, with the towering blast furnaces and associated infrastructure forming a constant backdrop to daily life in the neighbourhood.
