Glynneath Central and East covers the town centre and eastern residential areas of Glynneath in the county borough of Neath Port Talbot, Wales. Set in the upper Neath Valley on slopes above the River Neath, the ward combines a compact commercial strip with rows of older terraces and more recent housing, and sits close to patches of commercial forestry and countryside.
Like much of the valley it bears a legacy of coal mining and metalworking, visible in its built environment and local history, but the local economy now leans on small businesses, public services and commuting to larger towns. Community life is lively with sports clubs, village halls and outdoor recreation; walkers and mountain bikers value the easy access to surrounding woodland and the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park.
