The libraries in Llanfair Caereinion, Talgarth and Llanwrtyd Wells are to become community-run resources. Volunteer groups will operate the libraries – the three smallest in Powys – when they are able to safely re-open the buildings under Welsh Government guidance. In September 2020, Powys County Council’s cabinet agreed that the council’s library service will support community partnership libraries for five years, to help them become established. The council’s library service will provide the books and ICT resources, and library members should see very little change; they will still be able to use all of the library services and resources, including requesting books on the online catalogue.

CONSULTATION on plans to create a new primary school in Powys by merging three existing schools has begun, the county council has said. Powys County Council (PCC) is proposing to merge Mount Streets Infants School, Mount Street Junior School and Cradoc County Primary School in Brecon to create a new super primary school as part of transforming education plans for the Brecon catchment area. The council’s cabinet gave the go-ahead last December to start formal consultation on the plans. Now the council is asking for views from the public on the proposals, which it says would improve the education entitlement and experience for future learners.
