Pontypool Community Council
Pontypool Community Council was formed in 1985 due to a statute that determined that Pontypool should have a Community Council. It is one of the largest Community (town) Councils in Wales and serves approximately 37,000 people.
The Council is made up of 20 elected members that represent the community on a ward basis. These members make decisions on the services and activities provided throughout the town and liaise with Torfaen County Borough Council officers when any other issues of interest or concerns arise.
In order for the Community Council to run smoothly and efficiently, a small and dedicated team of staff under the direction of Mrs Ruth Tucker, work tirelessly to produce all the necessary administration, organisation and financial tasks that are demanded of them. Together with members all the hard work goes to making a difference in the Pontypool community.
Our mission statement:
"Pontypool Community Council will strive to serve the community of Pontypool to the best of its ability, to enhance quality of life, by providing quality services and organising quality events"
