Pontypridd Town Council's Meadow Street project has won a Social Farms & Gardens Community Land Advisory Service (CLAS) award for its management of community green spaces.
The Meadow Street Community Garden project, set up by the town council in 2021 has seen an area of disused and overgrown land in Treforest brought back to life as a vibrant garden and creative space for local residents.
The Meadow Street initiative aims to bring people in Pontypridd together to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors in green spaces and nature while helping to create and cultivate a vibrant hub for the community.
Meadow Street Community is one of 15 projects from around Wales being commended by Social Farms & Gardens’ CLAS Awards, which recognise groups and organisations making the best use of land in their communities.
Winners have been presented with a plaque designed by Incredible Edible Porthmadog, made using reclaimed oak.
Meadow Street Community Garden’s Volunteer Coordinator Dawn Parker said,
“We’re incredibly proud to receive this award, which recognises all the hard work and dedication that goes into the Meadow Street Community project.
We’re delighted to see the space go from strength to strength and are incredibly grateful to all our members, our volunteers and everyone who engages with us. Together, we’re creating something very special for Pontypridd.”
