It is of increasing concern that Mid Wales as we know and love it, is quickly vanishing. The BBC Wales news site is dominated by all other areas eg NE, SW etc but hardly ever any mention of MID. This morning it’s been announced that the NHS 111 service will be free in North Wales - does that include the likes of Welshpool, Aberystwyth, Llandrindod Wells, Dolgellau?? I asked a former Powys Cabinet member if there are official lines delineating the north and south borders of Mid Wales - sadly there appear not to be. We all loved Montgomeryshire, Mid Powys never took off and unless we take note, Mid Wales will be confined to the history books.

Powys councillors will meet on Thursday to decided whether to consult on closing Llanfechain and Llangedwyn Church in Wales schools.
Llangedwyn has fought of closure at least twice in the past.
Instead children who go to an extended primary school in Llansantffaid.
Powys Cabinet meeting will be asked to start the statutory process to close the two schools and to develop a business justification case for submission to the Welsh Government for a new extension to Llansantffraid Church in Wales School. They will also be asked to start the statutory process to make a regulated alteration to increase the capacity of the school by 90 places from September 2023 following completion of the new extension.
