Council urges visitors and residents to be safe

The summer has started, but be safe. That's the message from Powys County Council as tourists begin to flock to the area for their holidays.

It is urging local residents and visitors to the area to enjoy local attractions, businesses and tourism venue that are open, but to maintain social distancing and sanitising.

“Town councils, businesses and visitor attraction have already been extremely accommodating, making sure that premises and public areas are safe and accessible to welcome back resident and visitors with confidence," said Cllr James Evans, cabinet member for economic development.
 
“It is with great excitement that the tourism industry here in Powys is set to have a resurgence for the start of the summer holidays. However, although we are ready and waiting to welcome visitors back with open arms, we ask that whilst you are here, that you treat our beautiful county carefully.

"Respect other people, protect the natural environment and enjoy the outdoors safely while you are in Powys."
