Coronavirus (COVID-19) Latest Update

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

The UK Govt needs to either step in with funding for those businesses affected or force a close down and allow them to claim on insurance. This half house approach will just put many businesses out of business!!

"Rhondda Cynon Taf to play host to National Eisteddfod in 2022
another great boost for Pontypridd and RCT. "

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

Really hope the UK Government uses the chancellors budget to firstly boost capital spending and secondly passport extra funds to help us pay for the extensive flood damage across Wales. Here in RCT the costs to the council could top £50m alone.

Fantastic effort, a number of supermarkets have been supporting the community appeal and the donations have been pouring in. Almost 700 flood hit families will benefit from this.

[2/x] river Taff at Sion street Pontypridd has increased a little. Still a ways to go before overflowing. should be ok tonight unless the weather gets a lot worse.

[Tom @Tomparkes1993]

[3/x] monitoring the levels from home, the Pontypridd River Taff station is increasing at a steady rate of 1cm every 5 minutes and has been doing so since around Midnight GMT.

[4/x] At it's peak on the 16th, it was at 5.3m, with around 3.5m being level with Sion St Pontypridd - if the rate of increase stays the same, i estimate around 3.5 - 4 hours to raise 50cm. If it increases, it'll take less time. Personally i hope it starts dropping soon.
