The Council has a statutory requirement under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 to produce a 5-year strategy which sets out the City of Cardiff Council’s plans to promote the Welsh language and facilitate the use of the Welsh language more widely in the area.  The Cabinet therefore considered the Bilingual Cardiff Strategy 2017-20 prior to its consideration by Council.
