Comment DBCC-8093

Dear Sir/madam

I find it quite surprising that you have chosen to use Welsh names only names for the new Senedd seats. It seems totally unfair of you to do this, when only 15% of the Welsh population speak or understand Welsh.
By you taking this stand, you are risking the risk of fewer people now going to vote in the Senedd elections 2026. I understand the Welsh only names in North Wales, but what I can't understand why you choose to go this in South Wales, where the vast majority use English has its premiere language of choice.
I know that you are bound by the Welsh Act, but I think you should look again at these only Welsh name seats, more so in South Wales and make them bilingual

Yours sincerely
