Police in mid Wales have confirmed that they are investigating a report of criminal damage at a chapel graveyard.
A campaign has been launched to stop work to form a car park and an access route at the Bethany Chapel, in Hodley, near Newtown.
Dolafon Gospel Hall Trust, part of Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, has denied to the BBC that works had resulted in gravestones being lost.Members of the listed chapel had been parking along the public highway with no formal designated parking areas existing. Background papers noted that the agent confirmed that under the previous listed building consent works were approved for the relocation of six headstones and memorials and has confirmed that no further work would therefore be required to accommodate the access road as the parking is then now proposed in a new extended area subject to the change of use.
A spokesperson for Powys Council said:"Planning permission was granted for the change of use of land to form a parking area and formation of vehicular access in June 2022
