Bowls championships, leg club anniversary and art exhibition made for a busy month for Llandrindod Wells Mayor
Llandrindod Wells Mayor has enjoyed a packed month with a huge variety of engagements and activities.
From the official opening of the town's skateboard after a 28 year wait to the European Bowls Championship and a visit from a politician, Councillor Steve Deeks-D'Silva has been busy.
In his monthly report to Llandrindod Wells Town Council, he said he had great pleasure in opening the European Bowls event and spending time meeting competitors and visitors.
He praised the Bowling Club for maintaining the best greens in Wales.
Councillor Deeks-D'Silva said the town's club is probably the best in Wales, and the only one with three greens.
He thanked the club for their hard work in organising and hosting the prestigious event.
He said it was interesting to find out that over 180 accommodation rooms were filled for the 10 days in the area with an estimated income for the event of £500,000.
Councillor Deeks-D'Silva said he had hosted a visit from David Mills MS of the Reform Party who are setting up an office in Llandrindod Wells along Temple Street.
He said they had a whistle-stop tour of the town and they had a good meeting discussing options and ideas for Llandrindod Wells.
A Baby Bank and Uniform Exchange service is now open in Temple Chambers on Monday and Tuesdays and it is run by two volunteers. Councillor Deeks-D'Silva went along for the opening and he said they are doing a great job and the service is proving to be popular.
He also attended the 20th Anniversary of Leg Club to celebrate the wonderful service they provide and the sixth form Art Exhibition at Celf o Gwmpas.
Councillor Deeks-D'Silva said he was honoured to cut the ribbon at the opening of the skate park.
He said: “It was chaotic with people using the park in every direction possible and everyone was having a great time. It was wonderful to see. I am sure its going to be well used. I picked up the baton on this in 2019, it was delayed by two years because of Covid and we have got it built and raised all the money needed within five years. I think this town council has done an amazing job.”
