Press Release
Along with many households and businesses in Pontypridd, the Town Council has been significantly affected by the flooding this past weekend. Our hearts go out to those who have had to leave their homes and do not know when they will be able to return. The basement area of the town museum flooded and parts of our historical collection have been damaged. Morwenna and her team are assessing the damage and putting into effect our emergency plans. The lower basement area of the offices has been flooded causing damage to our heating system. In addition, the community centre and workshop at Taff Meadow have been severely affected. We are so grateful for all the offers of help and assistance. We will be taking up some of those offers when we have a clearer picture of the situation. In the meantime, let us look out for one another and if you can help someone else in need please do. The Town Council will be looking to see what help we can give to others once we get over our immediate problems. If you require any information please contact us on our telephone number at 01443 490740.

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.
