Plaid Cymru applauds “positive step in normalising the use of Welsh” in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park announcement
Responding to the decision by Bannau Brycheiniog National Park to use only its Welsh name – dropping the English ‘Brecon Beacons National Park’ – Plaid Cymru’s spokesperson for the Welsh Language, Heledd Fychan MS said:
“From Garn Goch and Carreg Cennen in the west, to the peaks of Pen y Fan, Cribyn and Corn Du – the Welsh language is already central to the Bannau Brycheiniog.
“Plaid Cymru has consistently called on the government to protect Welsh place names in law, and this decision by the National Park is a positive step in normalising the use of Welsh. That’s because, in reclaiming our original Welsh names, we can reclaim our heritage, which is vital if we want our language to continue to play a role in Wales’ future.”
