12/11/2011 - Speeding is still an ongoing concern in Llandinam along the main A470. It has been highlighted that there is a particular problem on the bends at the western side of the village. Residents have asked if the speed reduction vehicle can park in the village rather than in the national speed limit zone, and if the Road Policing Unit can continue with periodic speed checks.
12/10/2011 - 1175 NPT llanidloes along with 115 RPU Newtown met with several members of the Llandinam public today in response to speed issues raised at a recent meeting.

12/11/2011 - Llandinam Village remains a patrol priority for the Llanidloes NPT officers, priority patrols are now being carried out in residential areas and adjoining rural areas.
12/10/2011 - The lack of Police presence was discussed in Llandinam. It was decided that foot patrol was not suited to the village, but it would be nice if mobile patrols could be carried out throughout the village and surrounding areas rather than just travelling through on the A470. There were no key times set for patrols. Although the number of mobile patrols has increased since the previous meeting, it was decided that this should still be a priority.
17/02/11 - The residents have asked that Police vehicles drive around the village when able to, rather than remaining on the A470. Llanidloes NMT will e-mail local Officers regarding this request. Times are to be varied, with patrols being conducted during the daytime and over night.
