Neath Tennis was formed in 2018 by the residents of Dyfed Road, with the intention of reopening the tennis courts that had been closed for 10 years. In less than three years, the group of volunteers managed to raise over £100,000 to resurface the court and to put fences in place. The group is very proud of having ensured that this facility is available for the whole community, and has kept the price of hiring courts within reach of everyone.

The courts are used by the Urdd and local schools, including Ysgol Gymraeg Castell-nedd, who play on the courts every day during the summer term. Also, tennis training has been provided to children regularly, and there's a social tennis session for adults held every Saturday afternoon for those who want to play and make new friends.

It's a pleasure therefore to congratulate the group formally for their work here in the Chamber, and to wish Neath Tennis every success in the future. Thank you.
