Mayor's Statement

 

I feel very honoured and privileged to have been elected to the position of Pontypridd Town Council Mayor for 2026-2027.


I have lived in the Treforest area for many years and have enjoyed engaging with the wonderful community groups and events across Treforest and Pontypridd.


I am a member of many groups such as the local football club and the Rhydyfelin and Treforest Community Bingo groups and I also enjoy visiting Meadow Street Community Garden as often as possible.


I undertake a range of volunteering activities, such as litter picking in the Treforest area, volunteering for Pontypridd Food Bank and I am also a member of the Royal British Legion Pontypridd. I am heavily involved with local Treforest schools and am the Learning Education Authority Governor for Parc Lewis Primary School and St. Michael’s Primary School.


My main priorities in the upcoming year as Mayor are to serve the community and work for the residents of Pontypridd to the best of my ability. I am committed to raising as much money as possible for my chosen charity which is Pontypridd Men’s Shed. It is a group that I regard as doing important work and impacting the community. I also work for the charity and so I hold the organisation close to my heart.


I look forward to representing and serving the Pontypridd community over the next 12 months as the town 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.
