"We take the County Council on their word that they want to act for the Welsh, and have explained to them that this will require a fundamental change if they wish to succeed. People accross Wales have their eyes on Carmarthenshire as we saw the the largest decline in the number of Welsh speakers and communities here. Carwyl Jones has acknowledged this and has established a working group to look at what can be done in the County. We told the working group therefore that its recommendations need to lead to a complete changes in the way the Council operates - making the Welsh language central to all its work, and that they can lead the way for the government.
“This is the last opportunity to ensure that people are able to live in thriving Welsh communities, and have the right to live life fully in Welsh. It is the last chance to secure the Welsh language for our children. "

Among the changes that Cymdeithas are calling for are:
* To ensure that no child in the county is deprived of the basic educational skill of being able to communicate and work in Welsh. Cymdeithas believes that no pupils should be under the disadvantage of leaving school without these skills.
* To call on the Council to set an example and lead the way by moving towards carrying out its own work mainly in Welsh.
