perhaps the real reason for the drinking ban.

this is the article in the county times regarding the town counils new home.
Strangely enough it is on site of the proposed drinking ban....!
cant have three alcoholics despite them being locals interupting the important business of ensuring tourist pennies stay in a few select pockets after all there is only 400 unemployed in the llandrindod travel to work area!
the only blessing is they didnt burden the community tax payers with a mortgage.
And yet Harold Nichols was prepared to buy the place for the town himself.
pity we didnt have some councillors like builth have got.


Council eyes development of rooms at its new premises


"We're very happy to be here," Cllr Derek Law, Llandrindod Mayor

LLANDRINDOD Wells Town Council are eyeing a development opportunity in their new premises and have said they are "very happy to be here".
The council has moved into its new home in the old town hall, where it will hold its monthly meetings.

The Mayor, Derek Law is now hoping to develop one room into an office for council purposes.

The two rooms in the old town hall, previously occupied by the Tourist Information Centre, will also be made available to local charitable organisations.

The council agreed to enter into a lease agreement with the new owner to take over two rooms and a storeroom located at the side of the building.

Cllr Law said: "We have in mind an office and one room will also be made available to other local organisations, especially charities."

He admitted the town council had harboured the idea of buying the building themselves after Powys County Council put it up for sale.

"We considered it and weighed it up against all other options but we would have had to take out rather a large mortgage."

Cllr Law hailed the benefit of having an office at the town council's disposal.

"We're very happy to be here," he said.

"Despite this we remain disappointed that the old Radnorshire chamber in the Gwalia is being changed."

At the January meeting of the town council members were told the new premises were in need of a bit of decoration
