Trefeglwys Community Council is the first level of local government for the communities of Trefeglwys, Llawr-y-glyn and Staylittle (Penforddlas). Council members are unpaid volunteers and are elected to act on behalf of their constituents for the benefit of the communities they serve. There are 10 Councillors, 6 for the community of Trefeglwys and 2 for each of Llawr-y-glyn and Staylittle. Their details can be viewed on the council website www.trefeglwyscc.com along with details of how to contact the Council.

We consider planning applications and make recommendations to Powys Council planning authority based on local knowledge and the needs of the community.
