Church Village is an electoral ward centred on the large village of Church Village in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It sits on the southern edge of the South Wales Valleys, close to Pontypridd and within easy commuting distance of Cardiff, with improved road links and a bypass that give quicker access to the M4.
The ward mixes suburban housing, pockets of older stone-built properties and newer developments, reflecting its growth from a rural parish named after its parish church into a commuter settlement. Local life is centred on schools, shops and community and sports clubs, while the area’s industrial-era roots are still evident in the social fabric even as many residents now work in services and light industry across Rhondda Cynon Taf and the wider region.
