A DWYFOR councillor is calling for every single school in Gwynedd to fly the Welsh Flag.

Llais Gwynedd leader Owain Williams, who represent Clynnog, issued the call to arms for all educational buildings in the county to fly the Red Dragon to “raise awareness and identity” for Gwynedd’s schoolchildren.

Speaking at a meeting of the full council in Caernarfon last week, Cllr Williams managed to secure a unanimous vote on the issue which dates back nearly 20 years, when the initiative was first proposed to celebrate 600 years since Owain Glyndwr’s historic uprising in September 1400.

He added that he appreciated most schools already flew the Red Dragon but that it was “not every school by far”.

The proposal was supported by Penrhyndeudraeth councillor Gareth Thomas who thanked Cllr Williams for the notice of motion.
