Members of Trehafod Community Garden were, this week, the lucky recipients of an interesting partnership between Pontypridd Town Council and Caerphilly over 50’s forum. For the past few months Elvis tribute act CJ Horton from Caerphilly and Bethan Parker from Pontypridd have been visiting Care homes to offer an hour’s entertainment and fun in their gardens. When Andy Phillips secretary of Trehafod Community Garden found out he approached the Council and asked if they could be included, he said, “We have a care home right next door to us, we also have a Stroke group and others who have had no direct entertainment for over 18 months,” The Council were happy to oblige and the concert went ahead witnessed by the various groups and members of the garden along with Pontypridd Town Mayor Cllr Carl Thomas who said. “This is just the kind of Community event that we at the council love to support, it was a great pleasure to see so many happy faces and to share in the joy that music can create” It is hoped that further events can be arranged in the not-too-distant future

Please find below the official Notice of Poll for the upcoming by-election for the Pontypridd Town Ward. The election will be held on Thursday 17 July 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.
