The Pontypridd Canal Conservation Group was formed in  2010 to co-ordinate responses to the the application made by Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd. for a retail store at the former Brown Lenox site. This development was seen to provide an excellent opportunity for recovery of canal land and restoration.

The PCCG comprises those from the Pontypridd area with an interest in the restoration and also supporters from the wider canal community, including those with specialist knowledge.

Developments are publicised in this web site and a weekly column in the local news section of the Pontypridd and Llantrisant Observer.  Supporters and members receive more detailed Progress Reports. 

Supporters are now able to become members - annual subscription is £5.00.
