Plaid Cymru Pontypridd On Your Side

Councillor Danny Grehan working with TonyrefailEnvironment cleaning up a litter - as usual there was plenty to pick!

Following a strong campaign which saw hundreds of people sign the petition calling for the reopening of Mill Street Post Office we are glad to say that it has now re-opened.

See below to read the full story from the Pontypridd and Llantrisant Observer.

In a keynote lecture in Cardiff today, Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood set out a radical agenda for ensuring that ‘decisions affecting Wales are made in Wales’ through a programme of democratisation and empowerment.

Publishing a wide-ranging pamphlet with ideas ranging from education to enterprise to democratic reform, Leanne Wood said that giving people a greater say over the matters which impact them and their communities can re-engage individuals with politics and challenge the despair which has dominated in light of a decade of cuts and the vote to leave the EU.

Plaid Cymru councillor for Pontypridd Town, Heledd Fychan said

"The Post Office is a vital part of the town, providing crucial services and bringing many people into Pontypridd who then visit other shops and businesses.

"I have been in contact with the Post Office and have received assurances that they are committed to ensuring a Post Office remains in Pontypridd. They are already looking at alternative premises within the town, and are keen to find a temporary solution as quickly as possible before something more permanent can be found.

"I am also saddened by the closure of Dennis Pounder Travel, which will be a loss for Pontypridd."

 

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year from all of us at Plaid Cymru Pontypridd.

Christmas is just around the corner!! The smaller trees are going up on the business today and the big tree is up and lit and looking fantastic.

Many thanks to Tonyrefail Community Council!

2017 had been a tale of two elections, Leanne Wood told Plaid Cymru supporters. Amidst record levels of tactical voting, and despite an unprecedented campaign, Plaid Cymru gained a new MP. 

She also highlighted the fact that Plaid Cymru had made the second largest gains of any party in the UK in the local elections.

Community activist Ioan Bellin has asked the newly elected Llantwit Fardre Community Council over the summer whether they would still go ahead with a Christmas event planned by the previous council.

Ioan said:

"I was very happy to have it confirmed that the show will go on on. Look out for the event the weekend of the 2 December. Many thanks to the Council Clerk Leanne Handley and all the staff at the council for organising the event."
