 In the past, there was a police station in Llanbister, on the north west outskirts of the village, but this has since been sold off as private housing.Other facilities include a primary school, Llanbister C P School, a children's play area and a 200-person capacity community hall built in 1996 which has a stage and a 6.25m x 4m dance floor.There used to be a Post Office in the centre of the village but it is no longer operating
