Godre rgraig Primary School [Google Maps, available for LDRS] The chair of a local Labour group has resigned and left the party over plans to close three primary schools. Leon Vincent, former chair of Pontardawe Labour ward, resigned from his position in disagreement with Neath Port Talbot (NPT) Council’s plans to replace three local primary schools with a ‘super school’. Mr Vincent said the council’s consultation process regarding the school closures was a “sham” and reports by council officers were “misleading”. The Labour-led council is proposing to replace Alltwen, Godre’rgraig and Llangiwg primary schools with an English medium school for pupils aged three to 11.
