Governance edit

Pantperthog is included in Corris community, south of that village, and alternate community council meetings are held in Pantperthog Village Hall. The community council system replaced the parish council system; the council tackles local issues and acts as a contact point between local government and residents for information and resource on many environmental, equality, ethnicity and gender issues and other matters.

Forestry edit

The village has strong forestry connections, with part of the Dyfi Forest to the rear of the village.

Transport edit

The A487 trunk road passes through Pantperthog en route to Machynlleth and Dolgellau.
