Latest News
Many of you will know that a multi use path from Llanspyddid to Brecon was one of the priorities which residents identified though our Village Plan consultations.
Good news! The route is now on the Powys Active Travel Network Map for consultation. This consultation is open to 7th November 2021, after which the routes will be submitted to Welsh Government for approval.
We need your help to really show that this route is wanted and will be used by residents. Click on the link https://atnmpowys.commonplace.is/ click on 'Have your say' then Brecon and zoom into the map until you can see the route numbers clearly. Highlight the route between Llanspyddid and Brecon by clicking on the numbers. Another box will open. To the right of the top box there is a graph like symbol. Hover the cursor over that and it should say highlight. Click to highlight. Scroll down and answer the questions. To be on the safe side please mention Llanspyddid in your additional comments and say how you would use the path. Perhaps you regularly use that route already.
Comments on the proposed routes can also be made in writing and sent to the address below. Please note, all comments must be made before the consultation closes on November 7th 2021.

If you are considering being a Community Councillor and helping our community please get in contact with either Chris Hyde or Pauline Hill.  Perhaps you know someone else who would be good. As a small community (Libanus and Llanspyddid and surrounding area) we don't have an onerous workload but what we do does make a difference. Our meetings are very rarely over an hour long. We are polite and well behaved with a very good Clerk.

About Llanspyddid

Picture
Welcome to the Llanspyddid Community Website. Our village is situated approximately 2 miles west of Brecon just of the A40 on the way to Sennybridge.  The village consists of about 100 houses, the marvellous and historic St. Cattwg’s Church and cemetery, a community field dedicated by the Church, and community playground central to the village.  St. Cattwg's is an active church with regular church services and community events, and the cemetery is often visited by people exploring their family roots.
There has been a longstanding sense of community among the residents of Llanspyddid.  As an example, the dedication of the Church Field by the Vicar in 2009 was the result of a lot of hard work and time that was put in by many villagers and friends from outside the village.  Consequently, we now have a green area next to the church where we can use for various community events, or just use it for relaxing with the family.  In September 2010, the village took the steps to make the most of everyone’s enthusiasm and form a village support group called the ‘Friends of Llanspyddid’ which has a constitution and an aim to help improve the quality of life in the village.   The Friends of Llanspyddid  hold regular events throughout the year, as well as the monthly coffee mornings. We typically have a summer fete and sports day, bonfire night fireworks, and a Christmas tree lighting event among others.  Our most recent community project has been to regenerate and upgrade our village playground, which with the help of our community, National Park Wardens and The Beacons Trust, has progressed well, making the playground a very family-centred asset for our village.  But we still have plenty of work to do!
Our main means of communication is via this website, plus we have regular newsletters which are delivered to every household. Notices are also posted on the village notice board.  We hold regular meetings, with our AGM being held on the third Sunday in September every year.  Thank you for taking an interest in our village website. Stop in for a cup of tea when you’re in the neighbourhood!
