  • Rhayader Has Moved!
    Stimulus question 44 Rhayader has Moved! On the A44 travelling west between Llanfihangel-nant-Melan and Penybont in Powys there are two road signs that indicate the mileage to the towns of Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader. From Llanfihangel-nant-Melan there is only one direct route using major roads to reach these towns. The first, just under half a mile after the Fforest Inn junction with the A481 shows: A44 Llandrindod Wells 12 Rhayader 15 The second sign is situated 5.3 miles further along the same road, just after Penybont. It shows: A44 Llandrindod Wells 5 Rhayader 10 Question Is it possible that all the mileages are correct or is there a mistake? Show your working clearly. Extension Question If two signposts are accurately marked as showing: Llandrindod Wells 15 Llandrindod Wells 8 Rhayader 20 Rhayader 12 What could be the distance between the two signposts? What are the maximum and minimum possible distances between the two signposts? 1 ‘Rhayader has Moved’ Question – scoring Full credit Shows the minimum and maximum possible mileages for the two towns for both signs: Llandrindod Wells: 11.5 miles to 12.5 miles, and 4.5 miles to 5.5 miles. Rhayader: 14.5 miles to 15.5 miles, and 9.5 miles to 10.5 miles. Concludes that although the mileages for Rhayader may be correct, they cannot be correct in both cases for Llandrindod Wells, if the distance between the signs is 5.3 miles. Even if the actual distance at the first sign was 11.5 miles, to then travel 5.3 miles means that the second sign is still 6.2 miles from Llandrindod Wells and so should read 6 miles at least.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

My question to the Secretary of State is not whether she opposes that Wednesday 3 June 2015 but whether she agrees that European companies have no business trading with illegal settlements east of the green line. The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock Justine Greening: The hon. Gentleman is right that PRAYERS we oppose that illegal building of settlements, and he is shining a light on some of the decisions that companies [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] themselves have to make about whether they will be part of that activity. It is up to them to speak for Speaker’s Statement themselves, but the Government’s position in relation to those settlements is very clear.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given.

General Character and Plan Form 5. Landscape Setting 6. Historic Development and Archaeology 7. Spatial Analysis 8. Character Analysis 9. Definition of Special Interest of the Conservation Area 10. The Conservation Area Boundary 11. Summary of Issues 12. Community Involvement 13. Local Guidance and Management Proposals 14. Contact Details 15. Bibliography Review May 2016 1. Introduction Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 imposes a duty on Local Planning Authorities to determine from time to time which parts of their area are „areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance‟ and to designate these areas as conservation areas. Hay-on-Wye is one of four designated conservation areas in the National Park. Planning authorities have a duty to protect these areas from development which would harm their special historic or architectural character and this is reflected in the policies contained in the National Park’s Local Development Plan. There is also a duty to review Conservation Areas to establish whether the boundaries need amendment and to identify potential measures for enhancing and protecting the Conservation Area. The purpose of a conservation area appraisal is to define the qualities of the area that make it worthy of conservation area status. A clear, comprehensive appraisal of its character provides a sound basis for development control decisions and for developing initiatives to improve the area.
