Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg members have welcomed Plaid Cymru's conference decision, held over the weekend in Llangollen, to scrap every Local Development Plan in Wales. An action committee has been established by the language campaign group in Gwynedd and Ynys Môn because of fears about the counties' plans to build eight thousand houses. Speaking on behalf of the group, Ben Gregory commented:

Cymdeithas yr Iaith has called on Carmarthenshire County Council to make public the correspondence between Leader of the Council, Kevin Madge and Carl Sargent, Welsh Government Minister with responsibility for planning.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has called on Wrecsam's council not to cut the finance to Welsh-medium playgroups. Mudiad Meithrin provides services including playgroups, baby and toddler groups, and childcare in Welsh throughout the county. The council wants to cut it's contribution of £23,000. Cymdeithas yr Iaith have written to the Welsh Language Commissioner asking for her opinion on the possibility that sending children to Welsh-medium playgroups is more costly than English-medium provision.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith has welcomed an interim statement issued today by Prof Graham Donadson which lists the basic principles for a new curriculum for Wales. Cymdeithas say that these principles reinforce the case for ensuring that the curriculum gives every pupil the basic educational skill of being able to communicate in both Welsh and English. In a letter to Education Minister Huw Lewis, Prof Donaldson, who was commissioned by the Government to draw up recommendations for a new curriculum for Wales. lists the basic principles which should underpin the curriculum.
