People on social media have shown their support for a Welsh language campaigner who refused to pay a fine issued only in English at a Welsh car park. Arwyn Groe received a parking charge at a car park in Llangrannog in Ceredigion in July of this year.
Mr Groe, who lives in Powys, refused to pay the parking fine as the penalty notice and all subsequent correspondence were not served in the Welsh language. He has now been told that the fine has been passed on to debt collectors. The car park is under the management of One Parking Solutions Ltd, which has its headquarters in Worthing in West Sussex. When approached by WalesOnline the company said it had "no comment on this matter".
Arwyn claimed the company's refusal to correspond in Welsh showed a lock of respect for the people of Wales. He also said giving into their demands would "send a message to the company that we are happy to comply with and accept their imperial arrogance".
