Over the last few months EggSeeds, Newydd and youths from Hawthorn High School's Youth Engagement and Participation programme have been hard at work, building planters to go in Pontypridd Town Centre and improve the appearance of the train station and give something back to the professional services businesses on Gelliwastad Road.

All organisations came together on the 18th and 19th of July, and had great fun planting the boxes up and installing them in the train station, and putting them outside businesses on Gelliwastad Road! Unfortunately, due to Health & Safety concerns the planters at the train station have had to be removed, and are temporarily in storage as we work to find a solution!

The youths worked very hard on the Wednesday to plant and put up the superb plant boxes outside KTP Solicitors, Co-operative Funeralcare, Spicketts Battrick, David W Harris, KLP Accountants, Alan Newland & Co, Sullivans, Seren Funeral Directors and Thomas Morgan & Associates! We look forward to seeing them again in the Summer to put more plant boxes outside more businesses in Gelliwastad Road, all plants are pollinator friendly as we are keen to make Pontypridd a bee friendly town!

By Your Pontypridd • October 19, 2023
Bravery, innovation, leadership, selflessness: just some of the attributes that were celebrated last night with the return of the annual South Wales Police Awards last night. The awards, held at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, recognised officers, staff, volunteers and partners who have gone above and beyond for the force and the communities served by South Wales Police. The Taff Neighbourhood Policing Team which serves the community of Pontypridd, were nominated for two awards - the Police Community Support Officer of the Year Award & the Police and Crime Commissioner Exceptional Problem Solving in Partnership Award. The Taff team were successful in securing both awards, a major achievement for the town's local Policing team. The first award for the Taff Neighbourhood Policing Team went to PCSO Hannah Lowe who was described as the "Heart and soul of Pontypridd town" - Hannah Lowe, who is committed to tackling crime and disorder and is an integral part of initiatives including Pontypridd Outreach, a Halloween trail and a building painting project. Please see the video below from South Wales Police Twitter page showing Hannah's reaction to receiving the award:
