Dear Janet Finch-Saunders,
Petition P-05-867 Make the 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' Mural a designated Welsh landmark
Thank you for your letter regarding the above mural.
I have circulated the letter to various sections within the Council and spoken with colleagues, in particular those in our Planning Service to consider whether there would be support for listing the wall and mural. They advised that they were aware that CADW have been approached in the past in relation to 'Cofiwch Dryweryn', and they were not interested in listing the mural. Having discussed that further there is a limit to what it would achieve in any event as there has been no attempt by owners of the wall to change it or to demolish it. To some extent listing the building could work against the community who have quickly remedied vandalism in the past by either re• painting or reconstructing the wall, as a listing may require permission to carry out works which would frustrate a speedy response.
We believe the owners to be in discussion about options for the mural but to date have not been involved or approached. We will continue to monitor the situation and assist if appropriate to do so.
Yours sincerely
Russell Hughes-Pickering Corporate Lead Officer - Economy & Regeneration
