Viewed in January 2020. The Archives Hub records that Neath Rural District Council was created under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1894. It comprised the parishes of Baglan Higher, Blaengwrach, Blaenhonddan, Clyne, Coed-ffranc, Dulais Lower, Dulais Higher, Dyffryn Clydach, Michaelston Higher, Neath Lower, Neath Higher, Resolven, Rhigos and Tonna. The Council comprised councillors and a chairman and initially replaced the local sanitary authorities. The Council was responsible for a range of local services including sanitation, sewerage, refuse collection, maintaining local roads, cemeteries and parks, licensing of public entertainments, water supply and housing. Rural District Councils were administered by committees and by appointed officers including a Clerk, Treasurer, Medical Officer of Health, Housing Officer and Surveyor. Neath Rural District Council was abolished in 1974 following local government reorganisation . Its functions were assumed by the new Borough of Neath.
