"It's Time for RCT to Join the 21st Century"

That is the call by Pontypridd Town Councillor, Dawn Wood.

Following the Covid Pandemic, the use of Debit and Credit Cards to pay for all items of shopping has increased dramatically.  So much so that many people no longer carry cash with them.  In most car parks throughout the country, payment can be made by either cash or card, but not in RCT.

Following the sudden and sad death of Plaid Cllr Tony Burnell, there will be a by-election in Ynysybwl.  You can read more about Tony here.

Community Activist and life-long resident of Ynysybwl, Paula Evans will be standing for Plaid Cymru in the by-election on 29/09/2022.  (Read more about Paula below.)

Plaid Cymru has long been active in the village having strong representation on the Community Council and on RCT County Council.  In 2022 the ward went from having one representative to two and Amanda Ellis will continue to serve as your RCT Councillor.

Improve safety and air-quality on Berw Road now

We, the residents of Berw Road and nearby streets, call on Rhondda Cynon Taf Council to urgently address several issues affecting Berw Road, both historically and since the 2020 floods.

These include:

1. Taking urgent steps to repair the White Bridge, so it can re-open to two-way traffic at the earliest possible opportunity.
2. Identify ways to lessen air pollution and find solutions to reduce the amount of traffic on the road.
3. Invest in traffic calming measures and safe pedestrian crossing points, to increase safety for residents.
4. Ensure all homes that were flooded are provided with flood gates or a flood door from the money allocated to RCT Council from Welsh Government.

Every day, we have to suffer horrendous traffic, air pollution as well as dangerous conditions. We also live in constant fear of flooding. Please listen to our views and improve the safety of our community.

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.
