People think the Telegraph's take on Welsh language signs is 'nonsense'

WalesOnline readers have had their say on an article about Welsh language road signs. On Tuesday, The Telegraph newspaper reported that Welsh language road signs "will be added to road signs despite warning of risk to lives".

The newspaper was reporting on the situation in Monmouthshire, where the council's English-only street sign policy was found to breach with the Welsh Language Commissioner's standards.

But in its headline it focused on a claim that including Welsh on road signs in Monmouthshire (which it described as a "border county") would "risk lives". Its subhead said: "Officials in Monmouthshire say the move could delay ambulance response times by confusing paramedics unfamiliar with the language."
