Claims that Y Plas has just £20 left in the kitty

QUESTION marks are hanging over the financial state of one of Machynlleth’s most treasured buildings - with claims that just £20 is left in Y Plas’ Endowment Fund.

Machynlleth town councillors met behind closed doors to discuss a report into the financial affairs of Y Plas after the resignation from the council of Cllr Bob Dunn, who was manager of the centre.
 

A Machynlleth Town Council meeting was held last Monday to discuss a report listing the expenditure and income of Y Plas, which now has a new manager following Cllr Dunn’s departure.
 

Councillors are currently refusing to discuss what was in that report, despite anonymous calls to the Cambrian News alleging that more than £300,000 had been spent and that just £20 was left in the Plas Endowment Fund - a fund established based on a gift by Colonel Beaumont to help benefit the Plas and its grounds.
