Cymdeithas yr Iaith have sent an open letter to the governors of Ysgol Carreg Hirfaen Federated School, calling on them not to give in to the pressure from the County Council to close the 2 village sites at Ffarmers and Llanycrwys. The County Council has offered to pay for an extra porta cabin at the Cwmann site and the cost of transporting the children there, on condition that the other 2 sites are closed in January. In their letter to the chair of Governors, Cymdeithas yr Iaith call on the Board not to give in to this blackmail from the County Council.
