Councillor Dorrance, who is also the council’s Armed Forces Champion and chairs the Armed Forces Covenant Regional Partnership Powys, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to recognise and give sincere thanks and support to the British Armed Forces. I am deeply proud of our servicemen and servicewomen – theirs is the ultimate public service.
