We are pleased to announce that the remedial work in Pontypridd Museum will start on Monday 12th April with a completion date of Monday 26th July 2021. The Museum has unfortunately been closed since February 2020 following substantial flood damage to the ground floor caused by Storm Dennis.


All of the ground floor area will be fully refurbished with new stores, offices, community area and kitchen/café.


The allocated Council parking spaces in the car park adjacent to the Town Council Offices will be utilised by the contractors carrying out the work on the Museum therefore unfortunately there will no parking facilities available during this time.


These are very exciting times with the regeneration of Pontypridd and we very much look forward to the Museum re-opening and being a part of the future plan as the Museum plays such an important role in Pontypridd’s history and culture!


We cannot wait to welcome everyone back!



The Pontypridd Town Mayor, Councillor Loretta Tomkinson said:


“We are really pleased the remedial work in the Museum will commence shortly.  It has been a very strange and difficult year but we are looking forward to the refurbishment of the Museum and welcoming back the many visitors for them to enjoy once again!”

Meet Pontypridd's New Mayor - Cllr. Carol Morgan

By Pontypridd Town Council • July 4, 2025
Councillor Carol Morgan was elected Pontypridd Town Mayor on May 22nd 2025 at the Annual General Meeting of Pontypridd Town Council. She succeeds Councillor Desmond Paul, who served as Mayor from 2023. Councillor Morgan represents the Upper Rhydyfelin and Glyntaff ward and is a member of the Welsh Labour group. Councillor Aminur Kabid, who represents the Treforest ward, will serve as Deputy Mayor. Mayor's Statement I feel very honoured and privileged to have been elected to the position of Pontypridd Town Council Mayor for 2025-2026. I was born and brought up in Rhydyfelin Pontypridd. I married in 1968 and moved to England in 1970 due to my husband’s work commitments. On retirement in 2004, I returned to Pontypridd. I was involved with the Rhydyfelin Community Centre for many years and I am still part of the Rhydyfelin community group. My main priorities as Mayor are to serve the community to the best of my ability and to raise as much money as possible for my chosen charities, Velindre Cancer Centre and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. I regard both hospitals as extremely important to the community as a whole, particularly having personal experience of the highly professional care offered to me by the staff at CCU. I look forward to representing Pontypridd over the next 12 months as the town Mayor.
