In view of increasing rumour that Ceredigion County Council is holding confidential discussions with developers to allow a large number of houses on the site of Llandysul schools, Cymdeithas yr Iaith has called on the Council to “open its doors” and conduct a public meeting to ask the views of the town's people on how to develop the site to ensure services and employment for local people rather than housing for newcomers

The site will become available as a result of the controversial decision of the Council to create a single central school for 3-19 year olds outside Llandysul, for pupils from the surrounding area. The uncertainty about the fate of the current site is causing doubt about the future of the community swimming pool and leisure centre and the family centre, which are all on the same site.

In making the call, Bethan Williams, Dyfed organiser for Cymdeithas yr Iaith says:
"Creating one huge central school has already undermined several village communities in the area, and now there is a danger that the Council will undermine Llandysul town itself – the ward with the second highest percent of Welsh speakers in the county according to the last Census figures. There is no local demand for a large number of new houses, but there is need for assurances that services like the swimming pool, leisure centre and family centre will be secure. Local people have not managed to get a definite answer from the Council yet.
"We therefore call on Ceredigion County Council to organise a public meeting in Llandysul and not to hold any discussion about the site's future behind closed doors. At the meeting, local people should be asked to contribute ideas on developing the site. Doing this will enable discussions on creating employment opportunities, services and the type of housing developments for which there could be a local demand, such as flats for young people in the historic school building "
