Plaid Cymru Pontypridd On Your Side

Presiding Officer, Elin Jones AM was the guest speaker at Plaid Cymru Pontypridd’s St David’s Day celebration at the Ship Inn, Llantwit Fardre.

Ceredigion AM Elin Jones said: "It was a great pleasure to be in Pontypridd to mark St David's Day and to share the Assembly's exciting proposals for the future of democracy in Wales.  Plans are in place for turning our National Assembly into a Welsh Parliament over the next few years and to reform the way we work.  We are currently consulting on reforms which could strengthen our democracy institution which is good news for the people of Pontypridd - particularly for young people who, at 16, could be given the right to vote in elections to our National Assembly."

Councillor Heledd Fychan has welcomed the plans for a new Youth Club for Pontypridd.  The Club will be based in the Cricket Pavilion in Ynysangharad Park.

Plaid Cymru Cllr Danny Grehan has launched a campaign to install a new Skate Park in Tonyrefail.

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.

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!
