Llanidloes Town Council

04/06/2026

The Town Council has appointed Darren Bender as the new Town and Cemetery Clerk, effective 1 July 2026. Darren lives in Llanidloes, is known to many residents, and is looking forward to bringing his skills and knowledge to the role. The current Clerk, David Powell, will take up a 1 day per week role of Responsible Financial Officer to the Council, something which was part of the existing Clerk position. This restructure will provide better coverage for the Clerk position within the Town Council. We offer Darren and David our best wishes in their new roles.
