Councillor Desmond Paul was elected Pontypridd Town Mayor on May 23rd 2024 at the Annual General Meeting of Pontypridd Town Council. Desmond represents the Treforest Ward and is a member of the Welsh Labour group. Mayor's Statement I’m Councillor Desmond Paul, the new mayor elected by my fellow town councillors for 2024 -2025. I’m happy to say that my wife Anoma Paul has agreed to become Mayor Consort for the year. I’m thrilled and feel very privileged to be elected. I’m originally from Sri Lanka, and I worked as a Flight Lieutenant in the Air Force. I’m supporting two charities as Mayor, the Velindre Cancer Centre and as I’m a veteran of the Air Force, I will be supporting the Taff Ely Veterans Group. I’m going to do whatever I can to leave a legacy from my time as Mayor. I'm so proud to be the first Sri Lankan Mayor of Pontypridd.
Come and be a part of the Graig Community Centre
A special series of events will mark the reopening of the Graig Community Centre
The running of Graig Community Centre is to be taken over by Pontypridd Town Council, after a 21 year lease for the building was signed by the council at the beginning of the month. The community centre has been closed for several years and the town council hopes to transform its future use with a wide-range of community-focussed plans in-keeping with Pontypridd Town Council’s vision to improve the lives, health and well-being of everyone who lives and works in Pontypridd. The centre will offer the community of the Graig a place to connect and socialise, with many events and activities throughout the year, including friendship groups, community coffee mornings and advice sessions along with youth and children’s activities also. The local community is encouraged to be involved in the centre and its facilities will be available for booking. Pontypridd Town Council Leader, Simon Pritchard said, ‘We are thrilled to get to work on re-establishing Graig Community Centre as the heart of the community. There was a strong desire from the community and local councillors to re-open the centre when it became available from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council as an asset transfer, and over the past 2 years we’ve been working towards making this possible. ‘We encourage the local community to join us in being a part of the centre, and to become Graig Community Connectors. This will involve as little or as much time as you can spare to help with activities from making tea and coffee to befriending residents that attend the community centre. We’re really looking forward to seeing you all!’ The town council has secured funding from the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund – RCT Community Fund to carry out key renovations to the building with work starting in the second week of January. A launch event will take place at Graig Community Centre in March once the work has been completed.
