Decision details

It was resolved:

·        To approve the Language Policy and to authorise the relevant officers in consultation with the Portfolio Holder to complete any further editorial work on the draft policy before it is submitted to full Council.

·                     Include the “Welsh Language Policy” under the list of those other plans and strategies which the Council decided should be adopted by the full Council as a matter of local choice (part 3.2.2.1.3) of the Constitution)
