Wales Welsh Language

The number of people speaking Welsh in so-called "heartland" communities is declining and overhaul is needed to secure its future, a report says.

At the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd, Plaid Cymru says a lack of schools is a key factor, with only two Welsh-medium schools opened in the last three years.

A "process" has begun following calls to remove Edwards as a member of the Gorsedd of the Bards – one of the highest accolades in Welsh public life.
