How We Put Together Our Agendas, Meetings, and Minutes.
The council frequently avoids explicitly mentioning real and significant issues in their meeting agendas by deliberately using vague language and broad, generalized topics that effectively obscure the true nature and seriousness of the underlying problems. They often choose to concentrate on procedural matters or minor updates and administrative details instead of directly addressing the pressing and urgent concerns facing the community. This strategic approach enables them to sidestep controversial subjects altogether, thereby delaying any meaningful discussion, debate, or decisive action. By keeping the agenda items ambiguous, unclear, or overly technical and difficult to understand, the council successfully minimizes public scrutiny and significantly limits opportunities for residents to voice their opinions, concerns, and feedback on critical and impactful matters. This recurring pattern ultimately undermines transparency and weakens accountability in local governance, preventing the community from fully engaging with and influencing decisions that affect their lives.

What do Town Councillors actually do?
Not much actually but the set up of the Town Council and running it has cost local people £millions over the years. Our councillors are listed on this website, complete with their roles and contact details. They don’t actually do anything much to speak of but they are quite good at feeling very important, puffing out their chests, trying to sound as though they know more than they really do, and spending countless hours talking absolute tripe about nothing of any real value. All this costs residents hundreds of thousands of pounds every year which has run into multi £millions now for residents who pay for it all in Council Taxes.
So What Does Llandrindod Wells Council Actually Do For All The Money It Costs Each Year ?
Bugger all in real terms. We are supposed to make sure the dogs mess is cleared up but as anyone with a pair of shoes will know we cannot manage even that. We put in the odd bench, look after a couple of toilets which we manage to spend hundreds of thousands on, and fuss around a few children’s playthings and pop off a few fireworks and switch on the Christmas lights. Not a lot for half a million a year but there are expenses of course. Council buildings, Cllr expenses, Council tax, electricity, rents, gas, Wages for the Clerk and all the other staff, phone bills, telephones, stationary, computers, websites, advertising, entertaining, and so on. It is a long list.
How can I attend council meetings?
Meetings are open to the public if you know where to look. Check the events page for dates and venues. The Council strives to try not to easily advertise the fact residents can turn up too widely or too efficiently as the Council does not really want them in the room but we do have to let them in sometimes as the law says we must. Good luck though tracking down the Councils dates and venues. We can change them as often as we like to dodge away from the prying eyes of the general public.
Is Llandrindod Wells Town Council responsible for collecting my rubbish ?
No. Llandrindod Wells Town Council doesn’t do that either.
Is Llandrindod Wells Town Council in charge of car parking?
No. Llandrindod Wells Town Council has nothing to do with car parking.
Does Llandrindod Wells Town Council have anything to do with the Schools and education ?
No. Llandrindod Wells Town Council has absolutely no input into schools or education. We do try and get a Councillor to join the School Governors if a vacancy is available but then again anyone can join as a Governor so if you are interested just ask the School if you can join same way as we do. You will get more done that way than going through us anyway.
Where can I find council meeting agendas?
Agendas and minutes are posted online before each meeting for public review. You can also find the Minutes of meetings. The Minutes are a watered down version of what was actually discussed and can often be very misleading and meaningless.
What local events are coming up?
Our blog and events calendar highlight community happenings and stories with a dash of humour.
How do I contact my local councilor?
Contact information for each Councillor is available on their profile pages. There is usually a telephone number or email. Failing all else you can contact the Council Clerk who might respond. Remember though that Councillors do not really want you to bother them so stay away if you can or they will swiftly get fed up with you.
Can I submit suggestions or concerns to the council?
Yes – well sort of. Please use our online form or attend meetings to share your thoughts with us. We will always strive hard to completely ignore what we call ‘members of the public’ as they often have better ideas than we do so we cannot allow them to make us all look daft. So yes have a go at offering your excellent ideas for improvements and will will do our level best to bring all your ideas crashing down or steal them and claim them as our own a few months later.
Do I ask Llandrindod Wells Town Council about planning permission?
No. Llandrindod Wells Town Council has nothing to do with planning. Powys Council do all that. All we do is get copies of applications, muddle through them and make useless comments. Problem is we have no training in planning, we know nothing about planning, and we would not understand one end of a plan from another. We know nothing about planning law, planning regs, the Local Plan, the National Plans or plans in general although we do puff our chests out and try to sound important and make what we think are meaningful statements which sometimes fools a few people. It does not fool the real Planning Dept though who usually have a good laugh when they read our comments. So for heavens sake don’t ask us about planning. Ask the proper Council at Powys.
