Your Pontypridd BID launched a new student Discount Card at the University of South Wales, Treforest Campus on Tuesday, 19th September.

25 Pontypridd businesses including clothes retailers, florists, sports retailers, restaurants, cafe's, hairdressers, opticians, nightclubs, mobile phone shops, nightclubs, shoe shops, organic food shop, osteopath, physiotherapists, stationers, music shop and are offering a range of discounts for students.

Part of BID’s remit is to promote Pontypridd’s businesses and help increase footfall and sustainability, it’s good news that we spoke to more than 900 hundred students and gave away 890 cards.

BID Manager Victoria Pulman and James Payne met with Vice Chancellor Julie Lydon at the Fresher Fair; she said she was keen to see more joint working between the University and the BID which is good news for businesses, the University and students.

We're lookiing forward to seeing more students in town using their cards and spending and saving money with all the participating businesses.

If any BID business is interested in participating in the scheme contact the Your Pontypridd team on info@yourponypridd.co.uk

If you’re a student at the University of South Wales and would like a card please send your name, address and student number to info@yourpontypridd.co.uk and we’ll post it out to you.

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:
