Leading Welsh musicians have backed calls to abolish national housing targets in order to strengthen the Welsh language at a community level, Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg have announced today.
Cymdeithas yr Iaith have asked Carmarthenshire County Council for urgent clarification as to why there is still no mechanism in place to implement a radical new language strategy which the Council adopted in early April.
Welsh language supporters have gone on a 24 hour hunger strike today (Monday 30th June) calling on the Welsh Government to make planning law changes in order to strengthen the language at a community level.
As we bring a 36-hour vigil to a close Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg have responded to the First Minister’s statement about the Government’s Welsh language policy today (Tuesday, June 17).
Robin Farrar, Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, said:
Cymdeithas yr Iaith has sent a message to every councillor in Ceredigion ahead of a key Council meeting next Wednesday (18/6) which will decide the fate of a number of Welsh-medium village schools in the county.
As part of a campaign calling for more Welsh language services from Pembrokeshire County Council members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith have launched a feedback form that anyone can use to note examples of a lack of Welsh provision. The from was launched as part of Narberth Learner's Festival.
Welsh language supporters have set up camp in front of the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay insisting that the Government changes six language policies including Welsh-medium education for all and planning law changes to help the language, ahead of a statement by the First Minister this week.
