Dear Fellow Residents of Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn,
I am extremely honoured to be the new Mayor taking on the role from September and would like to take a moment to reiterate my thanks to the previous Mayor for his many years of dedicated service to our community. I can promise all of you that I will undertake the role with pride and enthusiasm and to the very best of my abilities – I know that I have committed and very hard-working Councillors and staff striving to deliver for you and I would like to thank them all for their continued support, dedication, and commitment.
Life can give us many challenges and inspire countless acts of compassion and I know that there are many good things and many good people in our community and that there is no limit to what we can achieve when we all work together. In the short time that I have been Mayor I have been privileged to see this community spirit in action across a variety of events from remembrance day through to the most recent Kicking off Christmas event and I look forward to playing my part in building on this community togetherness as we work together for our town’s future as a thriving and vibrant community.
Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn is a great place to live, and we should remember that as we come together at this time of year to celebrate Christmas and look forward to a New Year- we have every reason to be proud of our town and our community. We should remember the equal worth of every individual and think of the voiceless and the vulnerable who need our love and protection and we should also remember to show a little kindness to each other at every possible opportunity as its those small acts that put a smile on people’s faces and a spring in their step.
During this year, our town has continued to host many well attended events which have shown not only what our community can do but also highlighted the beauty of Newtown – from its historical buildings to its magnificent open green spaces. These events have been enjoyed by our residents, attracted many visitors and acted as magnificent showcases for our town and its people.
I would like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and send you my sincere best wishes for 2025 which I hope will be a great year for all of you.
It is an honour to serve you, and I thank each and every one of you for your contribution – no matter how big or small you may think that is – to making Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn such a great place to live and I look forward to working with you to unleash our town’s full potential in the years ahead.
Best wishes
Cllr Pete Lewington
Mayor of Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn

Annwyl Gyd-drigolion Y Drenewydd a Llanllwchaearn,
Mae’n anrhydedd mawr i mi fod yn Faer newydd sy’n ymgymryd â’r rôl o fis Medi a hoffwn gymryd eiliad i ailadrodd fy niolch i’r Maer blaenorol am ei flynyddoedd lawer o wasanaeth ymroddedig i’n cymuned. Gallaf addo i bob un ohonoch y byddaf yn ymgymryd â’r rôl gyda balchder a brwdfrydedd ac i’r gorau o’m galluoedd – gwn fy mod wedi ymrwymo ac yn gweithio’n galed iawn Cynghorwyr a staff sy’n ymdrechu i gyflawni ar eich rhan a hoffwn ddiolch iddynt i gyd am eu cefnogaeth barhaus, eu hymroddiad a’u hymrwymiad.
Gall bywyd roi llawer o heriau i ni ac ysbrydoli gweithredoedd tosturi di-ri a gwn fod llawer o bethau da a llawer o bobl dda yn ein cymuned ac nad oes cyfyngiad ar yr hyn y gallwn ei gyflawni pan fyddwn i gyd yn gweithio gyda’n gilydd. Yn yr amser byr y bûm yn Faer cefais y fraint o weld yr ysbryd cymunedol hwn ar waith ar draws amrywiaeth o ddigwyddiadau o ddydd y cofio hyd at gicio diweddaraf Nadolig ac edrychaf ymlaen at chwarae fy rhan wrth adeiladu ar undod y gymuned hon wrth i ni weithio gyda’n gilydd ar gyfer dyfodol ein tref fel cymuned ffyniannus a bywiog.
Mae’r Drenewydd a Llanllwchaiarn yn lle gwych i fyw, a dylem gofio, wrth i ni ddod at ein gilydd yr adeg hon o’r flwyddyn i ddathlu’r Nadolig ac edrych ymlaen at Flwyddyn Newydd – mae gennym bob rheswm i fod yn falch o’n tref a’n cymuned. Dylem gofio gwerth cyfartal pob unigolyn a meddwl am y di-lais a’r di-lais a’r bregus sydd angen ein cariad a’n hamddiffyniad a dylem hefyd gofio dangos caredigrwydd bach i’n gilydd ar bob cyfle posibl fel ei weithredoedd bach hynny sy’n rhoi gwên ar wynebau pobl a ffynnon yn eu cam.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn hon, mae ein tref wedi parhau i gynnal llawer o ddigwyddiadau sydd wedi dangos nid yn unig yr hyn y gall ein cymuned ei wneud ond hefyd wedi tynnu sylw at harddwch y Drenewydd – o’i hadeiladau hanesyddol i’w mannau gwyrdd agored godidog. Mae’r digwyddiadau hyn wedi bod yn wedi’i fwynhau gan ein trigolion, denu llawer o ymwelwyr a gweithredu fel arddangosfeydd gwych i’n tref a’i phobl.
Hoffwn ddymuno Nadolig hapus a heddychlon i chi i gyd ac anfon fy nymuniadau gorau diffuant i chi ar gyfer 2025 a gobeithio y bydd yn flwyddyn wych i chi i gyd.
Mae’n anrhydedd eich gwasanaethu, a diolchaf i bob un ohonoch am eich cyfraniad – waeth pa mor fawr neu fach y credwch chi hynny – i wneud y Drenewydd a Llanllwchaiarn yn lle mor wych i fyw ac edrychaf ymlaen at weithio gyda chi i ryddhau potensial llawn ein tref yn y blynyddoedd i ddod.
Dymuniadau gorau
Cyng Pete Lewington
Maer Y Drenewydd a Llanllwchaiarn
