Plaid Cymru Pontypridd On Your Side

Thank you to everyone who voted, I’m honoured that you have placed your faith in me and I want to re-assure you that I am here to represent everyone in our ward, whichever way you voted.  If we haven't met yet, I hope we will have the opportunity to do soon.  I very much looking forward to working with you, and for you, to bring about the changes that are needed.

This is how the BBC reported RCT's Labour run cabinet decision to close Ysgol Pont Sion Norton and to centralise 6th Form Education.

"Plaid Cymru councillor Heledd Fychan, who represents Pontypridd, urged council leaders to "listen to people's concerns and to take them seriously".

"The council has not collaborated and people are not involved in decisions," she said.

Councillor Fychan claimed some parents were now choosing English-medium education instead of Welsh because of the closure of Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Pont Sion Norton."

Plaid's Eleri Griffiths wins byelection held on the 4th July following the sad death of former Councillor Rob Smith.

The full result was:

What a Summer! Not only was the weather amazing but Pontypridd was buzzing with events, such as Parti Ponty and the Big Bite.

As ever, if  you need my help with something, please get in touch.

 I’d love to hear from you.

Plaid Cymru Shadow Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Adam Price AM has today criticised the Labour Welsh Government’s economic policy for Valleys communities, claiming it “simply does not have the ability to transform.”

• More houses on the way?
• Removal of Services at the Royal Glam Hospital
• St David's Day Dinner

A lot has happened in Pontypridd over the last few months, and I hope you find this newsletter informative.

Mostly it is positive news but there are also some challenges for our community.

As always if there is anything I can help you with please get in touch as I’d love to hear from you.

Regards,

Cllr Heledd Fychan

Park Lane

The biggest obstacle for many people to get to see a doctor in Tonyrefail actually lies outside of the surgery. Many people have contacted me regarding the state of Park Lane, which leads to the surgery, and I have written to the council many times. Following a meeting with the patients forum group I wrote again, but this time the council have agreed to look at the problem.

As the road is unadopted they have no duty to do anything, so it was a great day when they said that they will, at last, look at it. The surgery have said that they will be willing to contribute to the work, which makes the whole job more likely to happen. #WatchThisSpace
