Forden with Leighton and Trelystan Community Council is the first tier of local government responding to the needs of the local communities of Forden, Leighton and Trelystan. Ten councillors are elected for a term of four years and the contact details of the current councillors are on the Community Council notice boards in each area.

The Community Council is mainly funded by an annual precept which is included as part of your Council Tax, the individual amount per household being calculated by the councillors setting an annual budget.

Some of the funds help to support the following – all of which are available for use by members of all communities:

• Forden Community Centre
• Leighton Village Hall
• Children’s Playgrounds in Forden and Leighton
• Forden Cemetery
• Forden Sports Field

Other activities carried out by the Community Council are:

• Consultees on planning applications
• Raising highway matters with Powys County Council
• Any other matters brought to councillors’ attention

Effectively the Community Council is there to represent you and your communities, respond to any issues and offer assistance where possible.
