Powys Youth Engagement Strategy

Young people under 25 are asked to take part in a short survey to help shape the new Young People’s Engagement Strategy.

If you know anyone aged under 25 who lives, studies or works in Powys, please encourage them to take part.

The closing date for responses is Friday 31st July 2026.

Council Tax Premium Scheme for Long-term Empty Properties

Did you know there are 897 long-term empty properties in Powys?

Long-term empty homes can undermine neighbourhoods and community sustainability, particularly in rural areas, by contributing to decline, reducing cohesion, and limiting support for local services. Powys has significant and ongoing housing need, with demand for affordable homes outstripping supply in many rural communities. Long-term empty properties represent a substantial underused asset that could help meet local need more sustainably. The consultation responses will help to shape future decisions.

What are your views on how Powys County Council approach empty homes going forward?

The closing date is Wednesday 19th August 2026.

Powys Well-being Assessment

A Well-being assessment is something that all Public Service Boards (PSBs) in Wales must publish as part of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. It helps Powys County Council understand what well-being looks like in Powys now and what may need to change in the future.

Your views will help them to understand what well-being means to you, what matters most in your day-to-day life, and what you consider is important for your well-being now and in the future.

The closing date for responses is Wednesday 30th September.
