Newtown residents are being given the chance to have a say on how they want the town to develop over the next 10 years.
A series of events are to be held in the town to allow people to see and discuss Newtown Town Council's "Place Plan."
Councillor Richard Edwards, leading the Place Plan project, is encouraging as many people as possible to take part.
“We hope people will come and tell us their views on topics like housing, play areas, health and community facilities," he said.
"The Place Plan will influence the way in which planning applications are assessed in future and will also help attract even more investment into the town. We hope people will make the most of the opportunity.”
