History
In the 1986 Review, Llandyssil was formed from the former Llandyssil community, with the inclusion of parts of the former Bettws and Newtown communities, Abermule, Llanmerewig, and Llandyssil.[4]
The railway[4] now known as the Cambrian Line[6] runs through the Community, following the river Severn.[4] The former Abermule railway station is now closed.[6]
Governance
At the local level the community elects community councilors to Abermule with Llandyssil Community Council.[7]
As at 2005, the community was divided for electoral purposes into two wards: Abermule in the west and Llandyssil in the east; each ward elected five community councillors.[8] By 2017, there were seven council seats for Abermule, which had expanded in population, and four for Llandyssil,[1] although in both wards fewer councillors than that were nominated.
