Councillor Aiden Richards

Representing the Town Ward

Bio

I founded and own the award-winning Tipsy Owl, an independent business that has helped bring new life to Pontypridd's town centre. Although originally from Cardiff and having spent much of my youth growing up in Gloucestershire, I chose to make Pontypridd my home at the age of 17 after leaving foster care and have since dedicated myself to supporting the local community through business, events and charitable initiatives.

As Town Councillor for Pontypridd Town Ward, I am passionate about creating a welcoming, inclusive and thriving town that people are proud to call home. I am committed to supporting local businesses, improving community spaces and helping make Pontypridd a destination once again for residents and visitors alike.

Fi yw sylfaenwr a pherchennog y Tipsy Owl llwyddiannus, busnes annibynnol sydd wedi helpu i ddod â bywyd newydd i ganol tref Pontypridd. Er fy mod yn wreiddiol o Gaerdydd ac wedi treulio llawer o fy ieuenctid yn tyfu i fyny yn Swydd Gaerloyw, dewisais wneud Pontypridd yn gartref i mi yn 17 oed ar ôl gadael gofal maeth, ac ers hynny rydw i wedi ymroi i gefnogi'r gymuned leol gyda busnesau, digwyddiadau a mentrau elusennol.

Fel Cynghorydd Tref Ward Pontypridd, rwy'n angerddol am greu tref groesawgar, gynhwysol a ffyniannus y mae pobl yn falch o'i galw'n gartref. Rydw i wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi busnesau lleol, gwella mannau cymunedol a helpu i wneud Pontypridd yn gyrchfan i drigolion ac ymwelwyr unwaith eto.
