She said that the County Council was keen to change it before the Easter holidays. Cllr. Nigel Williams said that he noticed that one of the signs was black and so he cleaned both signs but said that the Welsh wording on the smallest sign had faded so something needs to be done about this. He said that in terms of the big sign, it has improved a lot. He said the problem with the small sign is that it is located under the trees. Cllr. Philip Gibbons asked if the digital signs were more likely to be vandalized and problematic in terms of power supply. Cllr. Hazel Evans explained that the signs would have been printed but with a QR code so no power supply was required. Cllr. Philip Gibbons said that it sounds expensive. Cllr.

The Chairman proposed that the Council should contribute half the price (£600). Cllr. Philip Gibbons said that he did not agree with contributing but would not vote against this. Cllr. Philip Gibbons suggested to meet on site. He asked if they were complaining about the Welsh language. Cllr. Hazel Evans said that it is a complaint that the Welsh wording is not clear on the signs but that there is a perfect right to complain about the lack of Welsh as both languages have equal status.
