Controversial plans for an English language super-school have been scrapped after protests.

The scheme would have seen three English-medium primaries closed with pupils moving to the new school in Pontardawe, Neath Port Talbot.

It was initially approved by the council, and would have included a pool and specialist learning centre.

After Parents for Welsh Education (RhAG) secured a judicial review, the court decided the project was unlawful.

That was because the council had not considered the impact on the Welsh language.

The council then presented a new consultation, asking to shut Alltwen, Godre'r Graig and Llangiwg primary schools.
