We submit this petition in light of uncertainty regarding the support that the Mentrau Iaith receive from central Government and local government. In light of the review, we believe that urgent action needs to be taken to ensure that the Mentrau Iaith can develop their work. This period of financial cuts has caused difficulties for the Mentrau Iaith, as local authorities in some parts of Wales have reduced the support that they give to the Mentrau Iaith. In several parts of Wales, the Mentrau Iaith provide Welsh-language services that are not available through the local authorities. It is our view that local authorities need to view the Mentrau Iaith as being critical to the way that they develop Welsh-speaking communities and the Welsh language in communities. To work effectively, the Mentrau Iaith need adequate support from central Government and a duty needs to be placed on local authorities to support them. This can be done through the Welsh-language standards. By obtaining that support, the Mentrau Iaith will be able to work effectively to develop their work in communities. https://cynulliadcymru.org/en/gethome/e-petitions/epetition-list-of-signatories.htm?pet_id=984
