I personally feel that as the vast majority of people, either born in Wales, other parts of the UK & other countries speak English, that it makes far more sense for safety signage to be in the English language. Making them bilingual can be dangerous.
Place names, on the other hand, should keep the names used by the majority of those living close by. Street signage in new estates should as much as possible be in the Welsh language in Wales. No-one has a problem with Llangollen, Caergwrle, Cefnybedd, Coedpoeth or Gwersyllt etc so why would new villages & streets be bilingual?
Is it just possible that the reciprients themselves asked for privacy?
I agree with JaneJ about the tree planting. My O/H still comments about being involved in the tree planting at Prices Lane /Chester Road when a child.
From what I understand they are painting the road numbers with A483(GDXN) & A483(DEXS) meaning gogledd(north) and de(south). I hope that someone teaches drivers from other countries to understand Welsh for when they visit. Safety road signage in Wales is hard enough to read whilst driving for speakers of both Cymraeg & English without inflicting more of the same on roundabouts. Fortunately we living in Wrexham should know where we are aiming for.
Hales on Bank Street have been there for as long as I can remember & the furniture shop on Yorke Street.
I wonder how the Cardiff lot expect wagons transporting Machinery, materials & food around the country are expected to do so safely without road improvements.
Some of these junctions are dangerous. It isn’t only car drivers that use the roads.Are you talking electric scooters Katy or disabilty scooters? I think that parkingmad means electric scooters which are only allowed to be used on private land with owners permission.
As covid is still with us, isn’t it vital that lessons be learned for future reference such as the effectiveness of lockdowns, NHS in Wales, vaccines & whether funding was put to the best possible use?
The first day they said on 3 occasions to phone back in 2 hours, the following day was after 12 noon & that is pretty much what we have stuck with. There is a ward clerk there during the week but not weekends & I have noted that the phone takes longer to be answered then. Doctors rounds are usually during the mornings so best to wait until either just before or after lunch when there may be something to report & cause least bother.
Having a close relative in hospital living a good distance away, we have no option but to phone for updates on health & treatment.
Isn’t it better for one person, usually next of kin, to phone the ward & then use group chat on Whatsapp or Messenger as we do, to pass on information. Anyone else calling is only told that the patient is comfortable anyway.
