Powys County Council has added 22 extra homes to its council housing stock.
It bought four new builds off a private developer in Ystradgynlais (Parc Brynygroes) and 18 older properties in 2024-25.
The 18 had all previously been council houses before they were bought by their tenants through the right-to-buy scheme. They are in Newtown, Ystradgynlais, Llandrindod Wells, Knighton and Llanspyddid.
Councillor Matthew Dorrance, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for a Fairer Powys, said:
“Buying ‘off-the-shelf’ properties is a great way of expanding our council housing stock quickly, to help meet the demand for affordable homes, and in the future, we will be adding to it further with more developments of our own.
“Everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to live, and we will be delivering that for residents through our ‘At Home in Powys – Housing Business Plan'.”
The At Home in Powys – Housing Business Plan is a five-year programme to increase the number of high-quality homes available for social rent across the county. It includes an aim to build more than 430 new council homes by 2029-30 as part of an investment package worth over £151 million.
