Cornish Signs

More signage news from in and around the UK from Hants and Dorset Signs as the branch secretary of the Celtic League in Kernow has written a letter to the National Trust (NT) about their use of only using the English language on signs at properties they manage in Cornwall.

In his letter, Michael Chappell, argued that in view of the fact that Cornwall Council now has adopted a dual signage policy throughout Cornwall and that English Heritage, who administers many of the historical sites throughout Cornwall on behalf of the Duchy of Cornwall, also uses dual signage on many of its sites, the NT should also be considering adopting a similar policy.

Mr Chappell's letter follows on from a letter written to the NT about the same issue by the previous branch secretary in November 2009. Iwan LeMoine pointed out in his letter that the NT in Wales uses the Welsh language on signs on its Welsh properties, so there was no reason why they couldn't do the same in Cornwall.

Both branch secretaries highlighted the fact that by using the Cornish language on its signs would serve to enhance Cornwall's diversity and richness of culture and that Cornwall Council would even support them by providing a free translation service. Mr Chappell and Mr LeMoine are still awaiting a reply to their letters.
