Certain roads in Hay-on-Wye are closed to vehicles during the coronavirus pandemic to help people socially distance. Hay-on-Wye Town Council said all closures will be lifted once the Welsh Government ends all restrictions. Mayor Trudy Stedman said in a meeting on April 12 that the town council would ultimately be responsible for raising and lowering the new barriers, despite Powys County Council paying for and installing them. Cllr Josh Boyd-Green said Powys County Council had previously been responsible for opening and closing roads in the town every day. Cllr Stedman added some business owners in the town feared the barriers, which are only meant to be used during the coronavirus pandemic to give road space to pedestrians, would be permanent due to the cost.
