Public conveniences on key travel routes across Powys are to benefit from significant upgrades thanks to almost £500,000 of funding.
The Welsh Government grant – awarded to Powys County Council – will enable the refurbishment of toilets across Knighton, Llandrindod Wells, Llanwrtyd Wells and Rhayader from March 2026.
Improvements will be made to six public facilities in total, with Llandrindod Wells also expected to become the first town in Mid Wales to offer a Changing Places toilet alongside individual cubicles.
This means families, residents, tourists and commuters between North and South Wales with severe disabilities will, for the first time, be able to explore the local area knowing they can rely on a fully accessible, welcoming facility that meets their needs.
Elsewhere, all sites will see disabled facilities improved and redecorated and, where not currently available, baby changing stations will be added.
Modernisation plans include efforts to install solar PV panels where possible, to help reduce energy costs – with water harvesting systems also added to ensure the facilities are more self-sustainable.
