The Montgomeryshire branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales has met with Dyfed Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn to discuss rural crime issues.
The meeting, held on Tuesday September 6, was hosted by FUW Montgomeryshire County Chairman Mark Williams and his wife Helen at Pen y Derw, Forden and provided an opportunity for members to highlight some of the rural crimes they have experienced, as well as strengthening the relationship between the police force and rural community.
It was the first meeting the county held with the newly appointed Police and Crime Commissioner since he started his post in May 2016.
Dafydd Llywelyn has a strong link to the county, having lived in Meifod as a small child when his father (Mr Elgan Davies) was Headmaster at Llanfair Caereinion High School.
FUW Montgomeryshire County Executive officer Emyr Wyn Davies said: “Mr Llewelyn gave us a brief introduction to his role and as Dyfed Powys has got the most rural areas in Wales, we were keen to discuss some issues of concern with him. It was a very positive meeting and we look forward to forging stronger relationships with the police force here in the county.”
