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.
