P-04-376 – Builth Wells Supporting Education for all: Deputy Clerk to Petitioner

Dear Sarah,

As you know, the Petitions Committee last considered your petition in May, when they decided to write to the new education portfolio holder in Powys County Council to seek her views on the situation. We have yet to receive a response from the councillor, although we have chased her several times.

However, according to press reports yesterday, it seems that the council have dropped the plans to centralise Welsh-medium education and that Builth Wells, Llanfair Caereinion and Llanfyllin sixth forms will continue to be bilingual.

Could you let us know whether you feel the issue has now been resolved and whether there is anything further you feel the Petitions Committee could do?

Many thanks,

Sarita Marshall
