Watch the video to find out what Lois’ experiences have been, and how she’s used her Welsh language skills while working for the council.
Stephen Jones, Welsh Language Coordinator at Wrexham Council, said “It’s important that Welsh speakers are aware of their rights and Diwrnod Hyrwyddo Hawliau is a great way to raise awareness of them.
“I would encourage all Welsh speakers and Welsh learners to use their Welsh when contacting the council.”
