Abermule with Llandyssil, formerly just Llandyssil (Welsh: Llandysul), is a community in Powys (historically Montgomeryshire), Wales, including the villages of Abermule and Llandyssil,[1][2] and had a population of 1527 as of the 2011 UK Census.[3] It also includes settlements of Llanmerewig and Green Lane.[4]
The community, located near the border with England,[5] is mainly English-speaking.
History[edit]
In the 1986 Review, Llandyssil was formed from the former Llandyssil community, with the inclusion of parts of the former Bettws and Newtown communities, Abermule, Llanmerewig, and Llandyssil.[4]
The railway[4] now known as the Cambrian Line[6] runs through the Community, following the river Severn.[4] The former Abermule railway station is now closed.[6]
Governance[edit]
At the local level the community elects community councilors to Abermule with Llandyssil Community Council.[7]
As at 2005, the community was divided for electoral purposes into two wards: Abermule in the west and Llandyssil in the east; each ward elected five community councillors.[8] By 2017, there were seven council seats for Abermule, which had expanded in population, and four for Llandyssil,[1] although in both wards fewer councillors than that were nominated.
