Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Town Council are set to hold a special meeting to confer the title of Honorary Freeman of Newtown on Graham Jennings for his outstanding service to the town.

Town Councillors are due to meet on Monday 25th September 2023 in a special meeting to decide to award the title of 'Honorary Freeman' to Graham Jennings.

Mr Jennings, who is well known to the residents of Newtown for his role as a Police Community Support Officer retired earlier this summer.

As we reported back in August, the nomination for Mr Jennings was held in confidential session and only 12 living persons can hold the title and two thirds of town councillors must vote in favour of awarding the title.
