Welsh Language
Bridgend County Borough Council has adopted the principle that it will treat Welsh and English on an equal basis.
The Council’s Welsh Language Scheme sets out how the Council will implement that principle in the provision of bilingual services to the public. This will happen within the constraints of the Council’s financial and human resources, and taking into account the developing linguistic nature of the county borough.
Our objectives include:
- To ensure that in implementing any policies and operating any services the aims of the Welsh Language Scheme are included at every level;
- To offer the public the right to choose which language to use in their dealings with the Council;
- To recognise that enabling the public to use their preferred language is a matter of good practice and good customer care, not a concession;
- To encourage and promote the use and availability of the Welsh language in the County Borough.
To find out more, read our current Welsh Language Scheme approved in September 2008.
