A Cardiff woman and her children refused to leave her car in a protest today (Tuesday 17th August) against the 'tokenistic' use of Welsh by south Wales police.35 year old Lleucu Meinir, from Llanmaes Street, Grangetown had refused to pay two parking tickets because of the lack of Welsh used by the police in Cardiff, who have sent English-only correspondence to her. Her car had been clamped by the authorities and was due to be towed away and sold at auction. She refused to pay two parking tickets of £60, but refused to pay the fines because the police had filled out the forms in English only.After five hours of protest this morning, Ms Meinir agreed to pay the fine after a police Superintendent offered to discuss the force's language policy. She will be presenting the bill for over £600 to Welsh Language Board officials today (2:30pm, 17 August) as they agreed to the police force's language policy.Lleucu Meinir, a member of Welsh-language campaign group Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg commented:"South Wales Police treat Welsh in a completely tokenistic way, making life much more difficult for those who really want to use the language. I've had to fight over and over again to get a service in Welsh. In reality, they provide an English language service, with a fake bilingualism added on. The letters demanding payment of the fines were all English-only on bilingual paper, the Language Board shouldn't allow them to getaway with such a poor service. The whole episode demonstrates, once again, the need for a comprehensive Welsh language law which gives people the right to use Welsh in their everyday lives."
