Design Commission for Wales

A quote from the Powys Council

• Powys is an extensive, largely upland and extremely rural county covering 2000 square miles that is about a quarter of Wales. With only one person in every 10 acres it is one of the most sparsely populated local authority areas in England and Wales. The county has tremendous landscape assets, from the dramatic mountains of the Brecon Beacons National park to the rolling hills of Radnor Forest to the Berwyn Mountains in the north and some of Britain's most spectacular river valleys, the Severn, the Wye and the Usk sweeping through its glorious scenery.

What have we been up to in your region?

• Workshop Meeting:on 10th March 2008 Wendy Richards met with planning committee members and senior officers at Powys County Council, to discuss how DCFW and the Authority could work more closely together.
• Know Your Place: Builth Wells In Builth Wells, Know Your Place workshops took place on the 9th to 11th September at St Mary’s Church Hall and in various outdoor locations around the town. Over 150 residents took part including young people from the High School and the local youth club as well as older members of the community and local businesses. A big thank you to everyone who helped promote the workshops and all those who attended and provided such fantastic drawings, photographs, stories and insights into their place.
