Julia Charles – Chair of Radyr and Morganstown Community Council

I moved to Radyr Sidings in early December 2013, and my first experience of the Community coming together was the Christmas lightening ceremony. From that moment I wanted to be involved in continuing to raise the community spirit and togetherness. I joined Radyr and Morganstown Community Council in September 2017 and joined the Cardiff Council Standards and Ethics Committee in September 2022

I have a strong background in Human Resources / Learning and Development in Banking and the Civil Service, taking early retirement in October 2023. This knowledge and experience has helped in the Community Council work as Chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Employment and Allowances Committee. I was extremely proud to be elected chair in May 2025, and I will do my utmost to ensure that Radyr and Morganstown is a lovely and welcoming place to live with great community spirit

Away from the Council, myself and my husband Paul love travelling, even better if there is a local park run involved. You can also find us in the Ninian Stand on Saturdays as we cheer on the might Bluebirds

Iona Shariff – Vice Chair of Radyr and Morganstown Community Council

I moved to Cardiff in 2009 and have loved being part of this vibrant and welcoming community ever since. I joined the Radyr and Morganstown Community Council in July 2023 and have really enjoyed getting involved in a variety of local projects, including road safety initiatives, the refurbishment of the Co-op, work with the Friends of Station Road and Cardiff Council to enhance the village centre, and improvements to the Cricket Club and Windsor Gardens.

My professional background is in commercial management, having worked in organisations such as National Grid and Arqiva, where I played a key role in the Broadcast Digital Switchover Project. I also run a small local business, which helps keep me connected to our local community on a day-to-day basis.

Outside of council work, life is kept busy running around after my family, all passionate rugby players and supporters! I enjoy socialising with friends, taking trips away throughout the year, and, when time allows, indulging in an annual spa day!

David Silver – Chair of Publicity & Communications Committee

This is my second term as a Councillor having previously served for a number of years. I have been Chair of the Community Council twice. I have been on the Radyr and Morganstown Association Executive Committee for many years , was Chair for 6 years. I have been Chair of the Festival Committee for the last 8 years.

Although I am now fully retired, my career began as a research scientist and progressed into scientific management in the biomedical area. I have a wealth of experience in financial management, project management, and the oversight of substantial budgets. I have also managed a broad range of HR matters. My leadership roles have seen me manage large departments, both in Cardiff and in the United States, giving me significant expertise in organisational leadership and team management.
