Rejected petition Start referring to Welsh cities and towns by their Welsh names.

Start using Welsh terms to refer to towns and cities in Wales.

More details

The Assembly, and other bodies, should start using Welsh terms if they want to successfully increase the use of the Welsh language, they must set an example to others.

Instead of referring to Caerdydd by it’s English given name, ‘Cardiff’, use it’s Welsh name instead. After all, speaking Welsh in Wales is no longer a crime - is it not?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

It is up the Welsh Parliament, Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities, how to refer to places in Wales, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
