Call for Carmarthenshire Council to bin its school closures plan

In face of the stunning election results today in Carmarthenshire, Cymdeithas yr Iaith have announced that they will be calling on the new County Council to immediately bin its controversial schools closure plan which could have led to the closure of 40 Welsh-medium primary schools.

Cymdeithas chair in Carmarthenshire, Sioned Elin, sadi " This has been the first Council election since the Modernising Educational Provision Plan was published in 2005, and the people's first chance to give their verdict. In this as well as many other fields it is obvious that the people of Carmarthenshire believe that the Council has acted in an arrogant way to force its decisions on them. We shall be calling on the new Council to immediately bin this plan which would destroy our schools and Welsh-speaking communities and re-engage the people to discuss ways forward. It is obvious that this has been an issue in Carmarthenshire as well as in other areas."
