Important development work will commence on Monday, February 5, at the former Pontypridd bingo hall site.

The project will provide a quality public realm area – acting as a clear arrival point at the southern end of the town centre. The open space will include clear way-finding signs and visitor information, seating areas, and areas of greenery and planting. A small food/drink outlet will also be included on the site in the future.

The site will provide a safe pedestrian route from Sardis Road into the town centre – well-located for train users arriving in Pontypridd. The new bus bays will be positioned on the site’s boundary with Sardis Road, and a separate seating area will also be provided for bus users.

The new bus bays are being prioritised for delivery in time for Pontypridd and Rhondda Cynon Taf to host the National Eisteddfod for Wales in August 2024.

Knights Brown have been appointed to deliver the work. See their newsletter for more information about the works.
