A group of people in Pontypridd are working to transform a patch of disused land into a beautiful community garden where flowers bloom and fresh food grows, and it's about to get even better. The land on Meadow Street, in Treforest, was left unattended and overgrown for almost eight years, before being re-acquired by Pontypridd Town Council.
At the beginning of 2021 work began to clear the space, and the town council worked with local volunteers to completely transform the area. Now Pontypridd Town Council has received a grant from the Local Places for Nature scheme, which is jointly funded by the Welsh Government and The National Lottery Heritage Fund, to help the project grow even more. You can keep up to date with developments from across Pontypridd by signing up to our weekly newsletter.
A grant of £91,000 will enable the Meadow Street Community project to transform the site in Treforest, with the aim of bringing people across the Pontypridd area together to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors in green spaces and nature while helping to cultivate a vibrant hub for the community.
