Plans to redevelop the former Pontypridd Bingo Hall site and former M&S, Dorothy Perkins and Burtons buildings have received the support of councillors. At a cabinet meeting on Monday, May 15, councillors heard about the progress made on the Southern Gateway projects that are part of the Pontypridd Placemaking Plan.
They voted to support the design and redevelopment options and to consult with the public on the next steps. These include the former M&S, Dorothy Perkins and Burtons buildings and the former bingo hall and Angharad’s nightclub site.
On the former bingo hall and Angharad’s nightclub site, the council is considering developing an open space and bus bays. The report said that due to the recent and considerable downturn of the economy, the high inflation rate and general cost of living rises, the proposed hotel development for the site has become “unviable.”
