Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order effects the incorporation of the three communities of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Llansilin and Llangedwyn into the petty sessional division of Welshpool on 1st April 1996. The Order is made in consequence of the provisions of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 whereby those communities, until then part of the county of Clwyd, are to form part of the preserved county of Powys and not the preserved county of Clwyd, thereby being excluded from the petty sessional division of Berwyn.
