Official Pontypridd Town

Welcome to the spiritual home of the Pontypridd Town web site and message board. Serving you with local news and free speech since 1998.

Fourteen years old and still giving you all the latest information about your local town. We are completely independent, uncensored, run by local people and non-political. Promote your business in our Business directory, tell us what you think about Pontypridd and post your events on our message board.

You can shop online with our partners to buy books on Pontypridd and Wales, music from the Lost Prophets, Stereophonics and Tom Jones, and even make money online by following our links.

Remember you can make a difference if you try. The biggest disease in Pontypridd is apathy, don't catch it and don't pass it on. If you want things to improve them do something about it. Write to or email your MP, write to your AM, write to your local councillor, post a message on our popular forum and keep writing until things change or they do. If you have praise, a complaint or just want to find out more information, then why not get in touch with RCTCBC. We've got a few numbers below as well. Don't give up until we change Ponty for the better!

Finally, we hope you enjoy our web site and tell others to visit us but in order to keep the site free we do have some adverts scattered about the site and would appreciate a few clicks in the right direction now and again.

Rather than trying to update this section with local news every week or so we've decided to direct all users to our rather infamous, extremely popular and always controversial message board or forum where local news is posted daily by those members of the community who care about our town and want to change it for the better. In addition to this resource you may also want to browse the columns, photographs, poetry and comments on our new blog - Ponty Zen.

Local author publishes debut novel

Ctrl-Alt-Delete by Dave Lewis is available from Amazon kindle or as a download for PC, laptop, iPad, iPhone, Mac or Android platforms for the bargain price of just £1.53. If this book doesn't put Ponty, the valleys & Wales firmly on the international crime thriller map nothing will.

One reviewer said 'Could do for Wales what Stieg Larsson did for Sweden' which is one hell of a compliment! Another termed the book 'James Patterson for the Facebook generation'.

If you get a kindle for Christmas or know someone else who has one then why not download this entertaining book. You'll never look at the internet quite the same again. But don't take our word for it see what Amazon reviewers have been saying too.

Also available in paperback from Amazon and all good bookshops.

Ponty Zen

In November 2011, Dave Lewis started a new blog where he hopes to bring you a few funny columns, some poetry, photography and general comment. Over the next few months there will be more content added, more links to other like-minded web sites, blogs and resources. So if you enjoyed Dave's previous 'Observer newspaper' columns why not have a read, sign up to follow and offer comments on this uncensored/unedited non-pc online resource.
