A holiday park in Wales has sparked outrage from language campaigners by changing its name from Welsh to English after 100 years. The caravan park owners say they are going to rename Glan y Môr - meaning 'seaside' - to Aber Bay.
But the park in Ceredigion has been hit with disapproval from Welsh language campaign group Cymdeithas yr Iaith. The owners of the holiday park, Allens Caravans Estates Ltd, has said the renaming of the caravan park in west Wales is essential for its "significant redevelopment".
But Cymdeithas yr Iaith say the decision is “a step in the wrong direction” and is urging Allens Caravans Estates to “abandon the renaming proposals”. The campaign group said it is "very concerned" at the growing rate of properties and places in Wales that are being renamed in English.
