A Councillor from Llŷn at Gwynedd’s full council meeting at Caernarfon today (Thursday 5 March), will be calling for change to the ‘Household Inquiry Form’ sent to electors for voting so that a choice is given with regards nationality on the form.

At present, the UK Government form only has a 'British' box to tick, making it impossible to identify your nationality as Welsh, Scottish, Irish and so on. There is a £1,000 fine if the form is not entered correctly.

Gwynedd Councillor for Tanygrisiau, Annwen Daniels is delighted to hear that a campaign to improve safety for pupils at the school's main entrance has come to fruition.
