Notice is hereby given that there is a vacancy for a councillor to represent the Llantrisant Town ward on Llantrisant Community Council.
Beacon finds a new home
The Jubilee Beacon was commissioned by the Community Council to mark the 70th Year of the reign of her late majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Rather than sit in storage, the Beacon has been sited on the Dr Price Heather Gardens, High Street, Llantrisant.
Originally lit atop the Billy Wynt at 9pm on the 2nd June 2022 it was one of around 3,500 beacons to burn that night throughout the UK and Commonwealth.
Llys y Cwm – Office Move
Having outgrown the Parish Office at Caerlan Hall. July 2025 saw Community Council Staff move in to Llys y Cwm. Empty since October 2024 when the Cylch Meithrin moved to YGG Castellau. Llys y Cwm offered a dedicated Council Chamber, seperate offices for the Clerk and other administrative staff. Additional storage for event resources and archives.
The meeting space (Council Chamber) is available to hire as a hybrid meeting space in the afternoons and evenings.
Thank you to James Dally, who was on work experience with the Community Council last summer and made the video to show the community our new offices.
Christmas on the Hilltop
The Eisteddfod is coming to RCT
Over 60 Welsh Flags and 500m of bunting will be flown throughout Beddau, Llantrisant, Talbot Green and Tynant over the next couple of weeks to welcome the Eisteddfod to RCT.
Summer Floral Displays
The floral displays are looking lovely this year. Each of the baskets has an internal reservoir which gets filled with water twice a week by Community Council Staff. The baskets are also fertilised fortnightly.
The planters are filled with perennial plants which are now in their third year and becoming more established.

New Defibrillator outside Spar in Beddau We are pleased to announce there is now a public access defibrillator (PAD) outside Spar in Beddau, which will be available 24/7.

IF USED: Please return it to a member of staff either in Spar or the Cokeworks, this will allow us to get it back operational as soon as possible.Beddau Community Centre
On the 1st December 2023 following several months of discussions. Llantrisant Community Council took over the running of Beddau Community Centre on behalf of Rhondda Cynon Taff
A vital part of the community the hall is well used by local groups including Karate, NU Productions, Slimming World and Energise Dance and Fitness. Since December a side room has been converted and is the new base for BLT Food Hub.
There is a bouncy castle which can be included with the hall hire for children’s parties.
Electric Van
The Community Council is extremely grateful to RCTCBC for the long term lease of a fully electric van for the use of our outdoor team.
Perennial Planters
2022 saw a new planting policy for the 40 Community Council planters. This year the planters are all full of perennial plants, many of which are “plants for pollinators” Since the Council purchased the planters over 10 years ago they have been planted each spring with annual bedding plants. It is hoped that the perennials will come back bigger and better each year and reduce the expenditure on new plants.
Unfortunately some of the planters have already experience vandalism with people, either stealing the plants are just seeming to think it is fun to break the taller stems or throw the plants around the ground. This is a problem we experience every year – hopefully as the plants become more established and large the temptation to pull them out will diminish.
