Your Council
The community of Clydach is served by 16 Community Councillors – each represent individual wards within the area. Councillors hold public office and follow a Code of Conduct. Our aim is to collectively make our community a better place .
The Community Council is your voice and has powers to represent its constituents on planning, well-being, and anything that is reasonable to enhance the area and to improve the quality of lives of its inhabitants.
The Councils Vision
The councils’ vision is to create a thriving, inclusive and empowered community Clydach, where all residents can access the services and opportunities they need to live well and participate actively in civic life.

Our Responsibilities
Serving as the community’s advocate, the Council represents local interests to external authorities while managing vital public facilities. Key responsibilities include maintaining the Forge Fach Resource Centre, Vardre community halls, and meeting rooms, alongside green spaces like Forge Fach Play Park, Cae Charles, and Waverley Park. By ensuring these assets are safe and accessible, the Council preserves essential hubs for public benefit. Additionally, it fosters community spirit by supporting local events and initiatives designed to bring residents together and enhance engagement.
