Due to concern about the future of Pantycelyn Hall at Aberystwyth University students have occupied one of hall's corridors. Residents were expected to leave the halls at 10am today (Sunday 14th June)
Gwilym Tudur, chair of Pantycelyn branch of Cymdeithas said:
"Today, students of Pantycelyn Hall are supposed to have moved out, but some have decided to stay because there is no assurance that we will be allowed back in September – or after that. Although the University promised last year that Pantycelyn would remain open unconditionally, students and hall staff have been betrayed.
“The University Council will meet next Monday (22nd of June) to decide the future of Pantycelyn. We call on all members of the Council not to accept the recommendations of the University to close the hall but to make a stand and protect one of the only natural Welsh communities we have.”
