FUTURE Powys County Council meetings could be a mixture of online and face to face with some councillors returning to the chamber in Llandrindod Wells. This was revealed at a meeting of the economy, residents, communities and governance scrutiny committee on Thursday, January 28, as councillors looked at savings proposed by the legal and democratic department for the 2021/22 budget. The draft council budget proposes a 3.9 per cent hike in council tax as well as £11.828 million in cuts or savings, that need to be made during 2021/22. The burden for the legal and democratic services is just under £100,000. Head of legal and democratic services, Clive Pinney, explained that councillors’ travelling expenses pot would be reduced by £28,000, from £78,000 to £50,000.
