The Llandrindod Wells Action Team was a working party of the Llandrindod Wells Spa Town Trust. Following a successful application for funds from the WDA- under the "Toolkit" scheme - it was responsible for delivering a large variety of projects during the 2000 - 2007 period. The Action Team especially worked on social economic development of Llandrindod Wells and the projects ranged from saving the play area by the Lake to the production of a Regeneration Plan for the town.

The Action Team consisted of members of the Trust, Town Council, Powys County Council, as well as the WDA and various Tourism organisations, the Town Co-ordinator managed the projects.

After the Toolkit scheme completed, the team was disbanded although it may well be re-instate by the Trust in the future
