Consultations

The council is regularly invited to comment on consultations run by Welsh Government and other organisations. To ensure everyone has opportunity to comment links to these consultations are listed below:

Powys County Council Consultations

Throughout the year PCC ask for views on a range of topics. All its latest engagement and consultation projects appear here: www.haveyoursaypowys.wales/hub-page/powys-county-council

Here are some of its latest projects… Right now, we’re looking for your views on well-being, a visitor levy and future spending priorities… and they are all open for responses until Wednesday 30 September.

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 us to understand what well-being looks like in Powys now and what may need to change in the future.

However, we need your views 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.

Visitor Levy Engagement

We are gathering views from residents, businesses and visitors to help us explore whether Powys should introduce a small overnight visitor levy as set out by the Welsh Government’s “Visitor Accommodation (Register and Levy)” legislation.

The Visitor Levy is a small charge on overnight stays in visitor accommodation. We have agreed a cautious approach: not to implement a levy at this stage. Instead, we are carrying out this engagement to gather views which will be reported back to Cabinet and full council to help shape what happens next.

Budget Survey 2026

Every year, we must set a budget that shows how much money we will spend on things like schools, care for older people, and roads.

Share your ideas for improvements, savings, or raising extra income.

Your feedback will directly influence decisions for 2027–28 and beyond.

Powys Young People: Your Voice Matters

We are asking young people under 25 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 has been extended to 30 September 2026.
