Well done Geraint!!

Ah, Geraint Thomas, the man, the myth, the council leader who somehow held it all together while Merthyr Tydfil crumbled spectacularly around him. Yesterday, he stepped down from his illustrious position, leaving behind a legacy so rich, so vast, and so… completely inexplicable that it deserves a ...

🚨 A Tribute to Merthyr's Very Own Geraint Thomas 🚨

Yesterday, our beloved Council Leader Geraint Thomas stepped down after a truly remarkable tenure. Proud of his achievements? You bet! From the gaping £150 million hole left by Ffos-Y-Fran to turning the town centre into a booming hub of v**e shops and Turkish barbers—Geraint’s leadership will never be forgotten.

Nigel Farage graced us with his presence at the Gurnos Club to launch his Reform UK campaign! Because who better to understand the working class than a millionaire ex-banker? 🙄

In a heartwarming display of solidarity with the common folk, Nigel Farage, the man who brought you Brexit and more pints of bitter than you’ve had hot dinners, chose the illustrious Gurnos Club in Merthyr Tydfil as the launchpad for his latest campaign with the Reform UK party. It’s the kind of...

Nobody saw this one coming. 😱

Read the article below to find out how the Redhouse could be saved.

In an unexpected twist in the tale of Merthyr Tydfil’s beleaguered cultural centre, the Redhouse, local pastry aficionados can breathe a sigh of relief—and perhaps a whiff of freshly baked sausage rolls. The iconic building, teetering on the brink of cultural extinction, is set to be transformed...

🚨🕳️ Merthyr's latest attraction: a hole so big you can see it from space! The council and mining company skipped an inquiry, leaving us with a massive pit and plans that might just include kayaks. 🛶

Dive into the full comedy of errors below.

In a masterclass of avoidance that would make any world-class dodger proud, Merthyr Tydfil Council has outdone itself by not showing up to address the minor issue of a gaping hole the size of 400 football pitches left by the Ffos-y-Fran mine. Oh, and the company responsible, Merthyr (South Wales) Lt...

🎶🔇 Breaking News: The Scala faces the music – but not past 8 pm! Merthyr Council's latest opus hits a high note in bureaucratic buffoonery, with a licensing drama that’s part daytime soap opera, part silent disco.

Read the full symphony of satire here!

Merthyr Council’s latest theatrical performance has been nothing short of a five-star farce, complete with dramatic plot twists and an audience participation segment on Facebook. The venue in question, the Scala, almost had its last encore thanks to the council’s attempt to take away its license...

🎶 "It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A... or is it?" 🎶

Merthyr, gather 'round! We've got a story that'll spin you right round, and no, it's not a new dance craze at Koolers. It's the tale of our very own YMCA building, which, after years of dreams and schemes (and quite a bit of cash), turns out to be... well, not quite the bustling business hub we were promised. 🏢💔

What's YOUR visionary idea for the YMCA building? An indoor beach, perhaps? Share your thoughts, and let's keep the spirit of our town alive, even when the plans don't quite pan out.

In the latest chapter of “Only in Merthyr,” the town has been graced with a revelation so shocking, it’s bound to shake the very foundations of Glebeland Street: the former YMCA building, long earmarked as the future Silicon Valley of Wales, is, in fact, not quite the hotbed of innovation and ...

Will we learn?

🎭 Dive into the Absurd Saga of Wellbeing Merthyr: A Tale of Misadventures, Mismanagement, and the Blame Game 🏊‍♂️💦

In the heart of the valleys, where the spirit of Merthyr Tydfil beats with a rhythm of skepticism so potent it could sour milk, unfolds a saga so absurd, it’s almost Shakespearean. Welcome to the tale of the Merthyr Leisure Trust, locally rebranded as “Wellbeing Merthyr,” a narrative so rich i...

Who's got a spare £100m?

Ladies, gents, and aquatic enthusiasts of Merthyr Tydfil, brace yourselves for the comedy of the century, where the punchline is a £116 million hole! Yes, you heard that right. Our beloved town has inadvertently become the proud owner of a giant swimming pool, formerly known as the Ffos-Y-Fran open...
