This May, Wales will join a growing list of countries that allow people aged 16 and 17 to vote in elections.  Scotland has been doing this for a number of years now.  Plaid Cymru has long supported this change and we hope that you will vote for Plaid in your first election!

As your local Pontypridd candidate, Heledd Fychan is organising a number of meetings specifically for new voters.  So whether you are 16, 17 or 18 please see details below how to attend.  You can ask a question or just listen in.

On the night of February 15th 2020 large areas of RCT were hit by Storm Dennis.

Storm Dennis was a European windstorm which, in February 2020, became one of the most intense extratropical cyclones ever recorded, reaching a minimum central pressure of 920 millibars (27.17 inches of mercury) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Dennis]

Across RCT over 1,000 properties were flooded.  In the Pontypridd Constituency, residents of Pontypridd, Trefforest and Taffs Well suffered extreme flooding.

The damage was extensive to houses, businesses and transport infrastructure.

Nadine Marshall will stand as the Plaid Cymru Candidate in the upcoming South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Elections on May 6^th.

Following the horrific murder of her eldest son Conner, Nadine fought to challenge and change the working practice of the National Probation Service.

Our Town Centres are reeling from blow after blow.

Pontypridd has seen devastating flooding followed by Covid-19 and all the while trying to withstand the unfair competition from out of town retail.  The move to online banking is world-wide but we as a community need our Town Centres. 

The closure of these two HSBC banks in Talbot Green and Pontypridd would be another blow.
