Llandrindod Wells test centre set to close. The DVSA have announced that the test centre at Llandrindod Wells will close. Driving and Riding tests are currently suspended in any event, but they state they won’t be renewing their rental agreement after the end of June. I have asked if Module 2 bike tests will be moved to the alternative test centres at Newtown or Brecon. Awaiting their reply. Shame. It was a good run up to Llandod. Good training for our students.
