The Pontypridd Canal Conservation Group was formed in 2010 and has been steadfastly working towards the restoration of the only remaining double-lock system on the Glamorganshire Canal. 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 on our Facebook group page. For a more frequent updates on ongoing works please visit our Facebook page.
We have been working hard since the summer on re-setting and rebuilding the lock staircases between locks 31 and 32. For those of you who have maybe visited the site, you may have noticed that a significant amount of mortar pointing has also been done There are still a number of vacant positions to be filled. In particular we are looking for persons who will be able to assist us with some administrative work of the group, particularly on the social media side. If you are interested or would like additional information about the group or the work of the committee, please get in touch by email with your preferred contact method and we will contact you.
Changes to membership:
Following our AGM, it was resolved that with immediate effect, applications for membership will no longer require an annual subscription fee. Difficulties in collecting fees together with data protection considerations have prompted this change. Historical contact lists of members, whether submitted on paper or by email have been destroyed and are no longer retained by us.
Support us
We are instead launching a 'friends of' approach which you can register your support for the group via our Facebook page.
Our aim is to make membership an all inclusive experience and we are always keen to welcome new volunteers and friends to our group. We would welcome any assistance or support you are able to give especially with the working party on site.
