What a fantastic summer we've been having! After enjoying so
much gorgeous sunshine, it's been wonderful to see Pontyclun buzzing with
people making the most of the parks, local businesses and community events.
It's a great reminder of what makes our village such a special place to live.
As we head into August, we have another busy month ahead with plenty of
opportunities to get together, have some fun and support our local community.
Families can also look forward to an Inflatables Fun Day in the park on Saturday 1st August. It's offering plenty of fun for children during the summer holidays, and we hope to see lots of families enjoying the day. Details on social media.
Our fourth Pontyclun Food & Drink Festival will
take place on Saturday 29th August, and we're looking forward to another
wonderful day celebrating great local food, drink and produce. The festival has
grown year on year thanks to the support of residents, volunteers, traders and
visitors, and we hope you'll come along to enjoy everything on offer while
supporting our local businesses and producers.
Our Artisan Markets have also been a great success
this year. It's been wonderful to see so many people browsing the stalls,
meeting local makers and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere in the village. We're
keen to continue the markets throughout the autumn, so if you're an artisan,
craft maker, food producer or local business interested in taking part, we'd
love to hear from you.
Keep your eyes out for advertising for a Wellness day in
Pontyclun on 5th September. This is a new event in our calendar
which will hopefully add Pontyclun well and truly to the South Wales health
scene.
The Town Council would also like to extend a heartfelt thank
you to all the Y Pant Welsh Baccalaureate students who have given
their time to support the community through litter picking and other
volunteering activities. Your hard work has made a real difference in keeping
Pontyclun looking good, and your efforts are greatly appreciated by residents
and the Council alike.
Not to forget our other volunteers who continue to give up
their time to keep our town looking its best.
Finally, a reminder that the next meeting of Pontyclun Town
Council will take place on Thursday 10th September. Residents are always
welcome, and we encourage anyone with an interest in local matters to attend.
If you would like to speak at the meeting, please email clerk@pontyclun-cc.gov.wales so
a time slot may be allocated on the agenda.
We hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy August, and we look
forward to seeing you at our events throughout the month.
