The speed at which PCC progressed their own application, increasing the size of the building very late in the planning stage and complete lack of consultation with the Community has angered residents. PCC / Asbri Planning did the bare minimum to inform the Community of the proposed development, at the meeting on 4th Dec residents were treated with total disrespect. A development of this scale and planned use on the Abermule Business Park is totally unacceptable. The Community Council appreciate the extensive work done by the action group to get this planning decision revoked or the development moved to a more suitable site.

  • Pool Mission Area Pioneer Priest Application Pack February 2016
    Pool Mission Area Pioneer Priest Application Pack February 2016 A Profile of the Diocese of St Asaph The Diocese of St Asaph is a diverse and hopeful community of faith. With roots in the Celtic church and a wealth of character and tradition, we seek to continue to uncover our shared vocation as God’s people in the Church in Wales in the north east of the Province. We are a Diocese in good heart and seek to persist in responding joyfully to God’s challenge. The Diocese follows the English/Welsh border in the east, whilst the western edge is delineated by the Conwy Valley. The northern boundary runs along the North Wales coast as far as Llandudno, but only takes in part of that town. The southern boundary runs from the lower end of Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) across to Dolfor, just south of Newtown in Powys. Ecclesiastically it is bordered by the Dioceses of Chester, Lichfield and Hereford on the northern and eastern sides. To the the south we border Swansea and Brecon Diocese and to the west, west, Bangor. The The Diocese is predominantly rural, with many parishes having populations of less than 1000. However, there are important and continually developing industrial and commercial areas around Deeside (one of the largest industrial parks in Europe) and Wrexham and significant smaller developments along the two main arterial roads (A55 (A55 A55 and A483). The The coastal strip is home to traditional holiday resorts and tourism is an important industry in many parts of the Diocese. The largest employers are the local authorities through education and the health services with two large general district hospitals at Bodelwyddan and Wrexham.

  • '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. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • Pool Mission Area News
    Pool Mission Area News 8th Issue - December 2016 People news We are delighted to welcome Alexis Smith to the Mission Area. Alexis is serving as a Pioneer Minister working primarily in Llandyssil and Castle Caereinion but hopefully developing a model for rejuvenating small rural churches which can be developed for use elsewhere. This is a 3-year post funded by the Diocese. Sadly there were no applicants for the post of a ‘House for Duty’ priest based in the Border Bridges Group when it was advertised in the autumn. It will be re-advertised at some point in the New Year after we have become a Mission Area as that might allow us more flexibility in the way the job is configured. In the meantime the four full-time clergy in the MA will each provide pastoral care to one of the churches. Rev’d David Francis, is making steady progress recovering from the stroke he suffered earlier in the year whilst Rev’d Imogen Marsden, another of our retired clergy, is on the mend after knee surgery. Rev’d Bethan Scotford’s husband Ron, and Rev’d Hazel Stibbe’s husband Paul are both not at all well – please keep them in your prayers over Christmas. Mission Area Progress The date has been set for the Commissioning Service when we will formally become a MA. This will be on Sunday 12th March. The time & venue will be confirmed early in the New Year. If you would like to be involved in preparing the service and any other events for this day, please let me know.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M21 - LLANDYSSIL Introduction 1. The community of Llandyssil took its current form in the 1986 Review, when a warded community comprising the new village of Abermule and the historical village of Llandyssil was created from the former communities of Llandyssil, Llanmerewig and parts of the former Newtown and Bettws communities. The topography of the community is defined by the valley of the river Severn, the road and rail routes that follow its course, and the hills and tributary valleys leading away from it. Settlement in this community is defined in particular by the routes that lead to the A483 and Newtown. Both Abermule and Llandyssil have seen a significant amount of development in recent years. Abermule is classified as a key settlment in the Unitary Development Plan, benefiting from a good range of community services and infrastructure and having the capacity to accommodate additional development. Llandyssil is classified as a small village, having some community services and facilities, but being served by access roads that are not of the highest quality. The small village of Aberbechan, with its limited community services and facilities, straddles the community boundary with Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn, a point to which we shall return. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the small rural settlements of Green Lane and Llanmerewig. 2. The community has a population of 1,218, an electorate of 1,004 (2005) and a council of 10 members. The community is warded: Abermule with 599 electors and five councillors; Llandyssil with 405 and five.
