POLICE are asking for help from the Powys public to shut down illegal raves that may be planned this weekend, as Covid-19 lockdown restrictions continue to. Outdoor hospitality – including pubs, cafes, hotels and restaurants – can reopen on Monday (April 26) and outdoor wedding receptions and activities involving 30 people can also resume, while on Saturday (April 24) six people from six different households can meet outdoors. And, following a number of illegal raves held in Wales in recent weeks – including on the Powys/Herefordshire border at the beginning of the month – Dyfed Powys Police are preparing to possibly break up more. “Another weekend on the horizon – please help us to prevent raves in your communities by spotting the signs and reporting them,” the force tweeted.
A MUM who lost her first daughter and suffered four miscarriages before giving birth to two healthy children, is busy organising a Three Peaks Challenge later this year. Linzie Pugh’s daughter Lola was “born sleeping” almost a decade ago and, to mark her 10th birthday on May 15, Linzie wants to sustain Lola’s legacy by raising funds for bereavement maternity services at Hereford Hospital and the local Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) group. Linzie has campaigned tirelessly since losing Lola – raising £20,000 already in the intervening years. This has gone to fund bereavement services at Hereford Hospital and help other mums and dads that have gone through similar experiences to that of Linzie and her husband Liam.
