Powys village gets its 't' back after eight-year row

The row over the spelling of a Powys village's name has ended after the council reinstated the "t".

Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain was spelled Llansantffraid from the 1800s until Powys council dropped the "t" in 2008, saying it was correcting a mistake.

Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies welcomed the decision and said "common sense has finally prevailed".

The council's cabinet executive have now decided the "t" will return to the village's name.
