I like how it will provide an environment for Welsh to flourish. I like how it is inclusive of all whatever language they speak or whatever their place of birth. I also like its emphasis on local and Welsh foods and produce.<br />I wish the project well.Llais Twpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-76508257241629319212011-09-29T14:45:10.762+01:002011-09-29T14:45:10.762+01:00It's ironic that many monoglots are all in fav...It's ironic that many monoglots are all in favour of 'inclusiveness' when they feel somehow excluded but have no interest in including welsh speakers in any facet of public life be it establishing welsh medium schools or making public services accessible to welsh speakers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-40278675055090787082011-09-28T23:22:40.591+01:002011-09-28T23:22:40.591+01:00Everyone will be welcome, this project is about ce...Everyone will be welcome, this project is about celebrating our Welsh culture and heritage, importantly it's about local people from Wrecsam taking ownership of it, which ever language they choose to speak!Plaid Queenswayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754935582084298585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-32553679651222846802011-09-27T22:51:43.086+01:002011-09-27T22:51:43.086+01:00Anyone who attended the open meetings, which were ...Anyone who attended the open meetings, which were held in both languages, would have heard that the intention is to be inclusive and welcoming to everyone - whether Welsh speakers, learners and supporters of the language and culture. <br /> It will certainly not be Welsh only.7serennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-42392318271093466182011-09-27T22:47:37.968+01:002011-09-27T22:47:37.968+01:00Can someone please clarify is this a Welsh langaug...Can someone please clarify is this a Welsh langauge only establshment?

Not to say that the Welsh flavour could not play a significant role (informal Welsh lessons, careers advice for Welsh speakers etc), but perhaps more as a valuable extension to a community run "hub".Fadronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-59714582088826837922011-09-22T14:40:08.854+01:002011-09-22T14:40:08.854+01:00Anon 2349 - Did you worry for the town when the Ta...Anon 2349 - Did you worry for the town when the Taste of Portugal opened?
