Pontypridd £2m bridge plan to link war memorial park

The bridge would link the war memorial park with the new Taff Vale development in Pontypridd
A £2m bridge could be built over the River Taff in a bid to boost visitors to a park in Pontypridd.
The footbridge would link Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, external to the town centre.
It would also connect the site of the former Taff Vale shopping centre which is to be redeveloped under plans approved in September.
Rhondda Cynon Taf council hopes that the new bridge would also boost business for Pontypridd shops.
In a report, external to be discussed by councillors on Tuesday, Andrea Virgo, project team leader, said the new bridge would "be a statement for the confidence in the future role of Pontypridd in the regional economy".
A business case for the new bridge and the Taff Vale development - which will include offices for Transport for Wales and Pontypridd library - is to be submitted to the council in the next few weeks.
It is hoped a planning application for the bridge would then be submitted in 2018.
