Pontypridd town centre is undergoing a transformation following Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s securing of a £10.5 million funding package.

The cash injection has come from the Welsh Assembly Government through the European Regional Development Fund and Targeted Match Funding, along with Council and private sector contributions.

Through a succession of phased works, improvements will stretch the length of Taff Street, Market Street, Mill Street and Church Street.

The project includes new paving, road surfacing, street furniture, signage, lighting and distinctive factors.

Paved areas in the town will also be widened, creating a more desirable town centre. 

Key public spaces will be developed which will ensure significant spaces such as Penuel Square are enhanced and maintained as areas of focus.  

One of the major components of the project is the Pontypridd Townscape Enhancement Programme, which will provide the opportunity for commercial property owners to take advantage of a new funding scheme with a contribution of up to 70% potentially available.

Love Ponty. Love The Changes!
