Pontypridd is following Porth, Tonypandy and Mountain Ash's movement to reduce significantly parking costs
The effort of Your Pontypridd's lobbying on behalf of businesses in Pontypridd has been very beneficial for Pontypridd Town Centre, as parking charges will be significantly decreased. From April 2017:
- all day on Saturdays in all town centre parks (excluding Gas Lane) will be £1.
- 4 hour no return parking will be implemented in Gas Lane, in order to free up space and to encourage turnover of shoppers.
- Parking charges will also be reduced across all car parks.
- parking across Rhondda Cynnon Taf will be free from 10 am throughout December.
The movement aims not only to increase the footfall of businesses in Pontypridd and in Rhondda Cynon Taf, but also to encourage local residents to shop from their local high streets.

Take a look at everything happening in Your Pontypridd this Halloween and half-term break!
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:
