Pontypridd Town Council's Meadow Street Project Wins Award 

Pontypridd Town Council's Meadow Street project has won a Social Farms & Gardens Community Land Advisory Service (CLAS) award for its management of community green spaces. 

 

The Meadow Street Community Garden project, set up by the town council in 2021 has seen an area of disused and overgrown land in Treforest brought back to life as a vibrant garden and creative space for local residents. 

 

The Meadow Street initiative aims to bring people in Pontypridd together to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors in green spaces and nature while helping to create and cultivate a vibrant hub for the community. 

Meadow Street Community is one of 15 projects from around Wales being commended by Social Farms & Gardens’ CLAS Awards, which recognise groups and organisations making the best use of land in their communities. 

Winners have been presented with a plaque designed by Incredible Edible Porthmadog, made using reclaimed oak.

Meadow Street Community Garden’s Volunteer Coordinator Dawn Parker said,

“We’re incredibly proud to receive this award, which recognises all the hard work and dedication that goes into the Meadow Street Community project. 

We’re delighted to see the space go from strength to strength and are incredibly grateful to all our members, our volunteers and everyone who engages with us. Together, we’re creating something very special for Pontypridd.”

Meet Pontypridd's New Mayor - Cllr. Carol Morgan

By Pontypridd Town Council • July 4, 2025
Councillor Carol Morgan was elected Pontypridd Town Mayor on May 22nd 2025 at the Annual General Meeting of Pontypridd Town Council. She succeeds Councillor Desmond Paul, who served as Mayor from 2023. Councillor Morgan represents the Upper Rhydyfelin and Glyntaff ward and is a member of the Welsh Labour group. Councillor Aminur Kabid, who represents the Treforest ward, will serve as Deputy Mayor. Mayor's Statement I feel very honoured and privileged to have been elected to the position of Pontypridd Town Council Mayor for 2025-2026. I was born and brought up in Rhydyfelin Pontypridd. I married in 1968 and moved to England in 1970 due to my husband’s work commitments. On retirement in 2004, I returned to Pontypridd. I was involved with the Rhydyfelin Community Centre for many years and I am still part of the Rhydyfelin community group. My main priorities as Mayor are to serve the community to the best of my ability and to raise as much money as possible for my chosen charities, Velindre Cancer Centre and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. I regard both hospitals as extremely important to the community as a whole, particularly having personal experience of the highly professional care offered to me by the staff at CCU. I look forward to representing Pontypridd over the next 12 months as the town Mayor.
