Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Town Council is leading the charge in organizing Tidy Newtown Week, a community-wide effort to clean up the streets and areas of our beloved town.

So far the action has taken place in Maes y Dail, Maesyrhandir, Garth Owen, Vaynor & Trehafren with more taking place the rest of the week. As part of the scheme, the Town Council has placed a skip at Lon Derw, Trehafren from waste, although this cannot include liquids, paints, fridges or freezers, hazardous waste, or televisions.

In a social media post last night, the Town Council expressed their heartfelt gratitude to those who took part on Day 1. The remaining events for this week include:
