Meanwhile, Powys County Council said history would be made next week when the authority holds it first full council meeting outside of Llandrindod Wells.
The session has been moved from its usual County Hall location to Welshpool's new Livestock Market on Wednesday at 2pm.
This will give residents a chance to listen to a debate about Tan 8 – the Welsh Government's wind farm policy.
The council meeting will be transmitted to a large screen and speaker system outside for the audience.
