About

The Resolven and Tonna ward is situated in the Vale of Neath, characterised by its position along the River Neath and bordering the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The landscape is defined by steep, wooded valleys and former industrial sites, with the A465 Heads of the Valleys road running through it. The community of Resolven lies to the north, while Tonna is located closer to the town of Neath, with both areas historically linked to coal mining and the canal network.

The ward's industrial heritage is evident in features like the Neath and Tennant Canal, which passes through Resolven, and the remains of old colliery workings. A specific local landmark is the Melincourt Waterfall, one of the tallest in South Wales, accessible via a walk from the village. The area functions primarily as residential, with local services centred in the villages, and retains a strong sense of its historical identity within the wider Neath Port Talbot county borough.
