History
In the 1986 Review, Abermule with Llandyssil was formed from the former Llandyssil community, with the inclusion of parts of the former Bettws and Newtown communities, Abermule, Llanmerewig, and Llandyssil.[4]
As at 2005, the community was divided for electoral purposes into two wards: Abermule in the west and Llandyssil in the east; each ward elected five councillors.[6] By 2017, there were seven council seats for Abermule, which had expanded in population, and four for Llandyssil,[2] although in both wards fewer councillors than that were nominated.
The railway[4] now known as the Cambrian Line[7] runs through the Community, following the river Severn.[4] The former Abermule railway station is now closed.[7]
