ADVICE ON LEVY BILLS FOR 2020/2021
Your Pontypridd Business Improvement District is aware that a result of the government support of rates relief due to COVID-19, many businesses will have questions relating to their levy payments.
We appreciate that this a very uncertain time for your business, therefore we are freezing the enforcement period specified in the Demand Notices due to the outbreak of Covid-19 to allow a 3 month delay of payment, after three months we will review the situation to see if the enforcement period needs to be delayed further before returning to the standard collection procedure.
We are continuing to work closely with BID industry bodies and Welsh Government to request further support for levy payers over the coming weeks and months.
Since the ballot in 2016, Your Pontypridd has worked in partnership with it's levy payers, to promote and protect the BID area for the benefit of all business owners and visitors. Now, more than ever, the BID's role is vital to ensure this work continues. If you a national/large business please pass this statement on to your Area Managers or Head Office contacts so that they are aware of this.
For any queries please contact Projects Officer James Payne by email - james@yourpontypridd.co.uk or by phone on 07872307676.

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.
