PARENTS in the Llandysul area have presented petitions against proposals to close six primary schools and Ysgol Dyfrryn Teifi and create a new school for three to 19-year-olds in the area.
Hundreds of signatures have been gathered from four of the affected schools – Aberbanc, Capel Cynon, Coedybryn and Ysgol Gynradd Llandysul.
They were presented to Ceredigion County Council on Wednesday. The authority said the objections were “premature”.
Angharad Clwyd, Dyfed organiser for Cymdeithas yr Iaith and a parent at Ysgol Gynradd Llandysul, said: "There is strong opposition in this area to the county council's plan to close the area's village schools and to create just one school for three to 19-year-olds.
“The size of the opposition is obvious from the number of people who have signed these petitions, with over 200 parents and community members from Capel Cynon and Coed y Bryn and over 120 from Aberbanc having signed the petitions and over 100 parents signing the petition from Ysgol Gynradd Llandysul.”
