P-04-594 Cilmeri Community Council Appeal for The Prince Llywelyn Monument – Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Chair, 17.01.17

Your ref P-04-594

Dear Chairman,

Petition P-04-594  Cilmeri, Powys.

I write to thank you and your committee for your assistance to date, in relation to the petition for appropriate signage at Cilmeri  village.

Cilmeri Community Council, who instigated the petition to highlight the national importance of Llywelyn in the context of this location, discussed this matter recently and also had sight of the proposed design. They are fully supportive of the proposed design that incorporates the year of the battle, as indeed do I as the local County Councillor.

As you are aware, I have written to Ken Skates AM to ask how this project can be taken forward, and ask who will fund the new signage. Any assistance that can be gained by your committee would be welcomed to ensure we do not lose momentum in ensuring that the agreed signage is in place as soon as possible.

I must also go on to enquire how we might progress other matters highlighted within the original petition? This relates to maintenance of Llywelyn’s monument and identifying resources to implement the Lloyd Brown Interpretation Plan. For ease of reference, I have copied the wording of the original petition below.

Due to the National importance of our Prince Llywelyn Monument we, the

Community of Cilmeri call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the

Welsh Government to:

• Install locational signage boards, incorporating a brown signage battlefield

icon, to denote the historical significance of our village, on the A483 at both

main road entrances to the village;

• Work in partnership with Powys County Council, Cilmeri Community

Council and CADW to help maintain the famous monument, so that visitors

can enjoy our national historical amenity in a safe and befitting environment;

• Help identify resources to implement, in a phased manner, the Lloyd Brown

Interpretation Plan (January 2013), commissioned by CADW.

I hope you will be able to assist us as previously, and can I thank you again for your support to date.

Regards,

Cllr David Price.

Llanafan Fawr Ward, Powys County Council.
