On Thursday 12th
June our school council went to the Municipal building to visit Mr.
Doug Williams the Mayor of RCT and his wife. They were very nice and
answered all our questions. Mr Williams has been Mayor for a year; he
was elected by councillors on 21st May 2012. He has lived
in Rhydyfelin and Glyncoch and wanted to become Mayor because he cares
about the people living in Pontypridd. He supports and raises money
for a cystic fibrosis charity, a prostrate cancer charity and the CRY
charity (heart disease in the young). He has met a lot of people
during his time as Mayor including Prince Charles and Camilla,
Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, the Duke of Kent, the countess of
Wessex and the Queen, he actually went to the Queens garden party!
but his favourite part of being Mayor is meeting and talking to
children. He said although being Mayor has been hard work he has
really enjoyed it and wishes it could last longer. He would like to
change a lot about Pontypridd town centre but said it is difficult to
get funding to achieve what he would like to achieve. We also visited
Mr. Williams’s chambers and when we finished asking our questions
we had orange juice and biscuits. We really enjoyed ourselves and
thought Mr. Williams and his wife were very nice.
The members of the school council are representatives of the pupils from Year 1 to Year 6. They meet every Friday afternoon and are supported by Mrs Evans.
