Statement by Councillor Simon Pritchard - Leader and Tony Graham – Chief Executive
“In light of current government advice and the obvious need to restrict the spread of the coronavirus we have reluctantly decided to scale down the work at our Civic Office and to close Taff Meadow Community Centre. Pontypridd Museum, which is owned and run by the Town Council, was already closed for repairs following the recent flooding. We are encouraging staff to work from home and where this is not possible are limiting their duties to avoid spreading the virus. In addition, Committee meetings have been postponed for the foreseeable future and we are reviewing whether and how we will hold Council meetings in the coming months. We will be posting updates to our website, Facebook page and twitter feed. In the meantime can we encourage everyone to read official advice from the Welsh Government, Public Health Wales and RCTCBC. If you are able and it is safe to do so please look out for your family, friends and neighbours especially if they are vulnerable. If anyone has a query please contact us on: info@pontypriddtowncouncil.gov.uk.
This email address will be regularly monitored. Thank you for your understanding.”

Following last year’s successful launch of Pontypridd Town Council’s Gŵyl Tymor yr Haf Festival – it’s back, bigger and better for 2025!
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.
