A Mumbles community councillor has been sanctioned by his colleagues after a primary school complained he had not allowed its pupils to sing in Welsh at a festival.
Councillors voted in favour of removing Cllr Rob Marshall as co-chairman of the culture, tourism and communications committee and said he should send YGG Llwynderw a written apology underlining that his comments which led to the complaint were not made with the community council's authority. But they stopped short of removing him from the committee entirely.
The complaint was in relation to a big community event called Mumbles Fest 2022. It took place last month in the grounds of Oystermouth Castle. Mumbles Fest was to include a choir, made up of pupils from the seven primaries in the community council area, which would sing three songs.
