Waiting in line for my booster vaccination at Newtown Leisure Centre, I found myself really appreciating the original signage of this typical early 1980s civic facility. Maldwyn - the old Welsh name for Montgomeryshire - was abolished as a county council in 1974, and a constituent district council of Powys in 1996. The name lives on! Under a brilliant blue mid-winter sky, I felt so lucky to be having my jab, and lucky too to have known a time when councils had the budgets and ambition to invest in their people.
