What Might I Not Have to Pay?
The council tax discounts, disregards and exemptions a Merthyr household may be able to claim, worked out from a few plain questions about who lives there.
The Taff, Right Now
The Taff's live level at the head of the valley, straight from Natural Resources Wales's own gauge, plus the day flooding cut the rail line into town.
Anti-social behaviour, reported
What has actually been reported to the police around the town centre, month by month, from their own open data — and the routes for reporting it.
Who to Call
Potholes, bins, the NHS dentist portal, the hospital, ASB — the numbers residents actually need.
Community Picks
Best Bike Park trail, Taff Trail walk, Sunday lunch and rainy-day spots — answered by locals.
The Iron Trail
Five stops on foot — Cyfarthfa Castle, the old ironworks engine house, the world's first steam railway, and a composer's cottage — with honest notes on what's actually open today.
