Cymuned

Cymuned (translated in English as "community", Welsh pronunciation: [kəˈmɨnɛd]) was a Welsh communities direct action pressure group. The group was established on 11 July 2001 at a conference held at Mynytho Memorial Hall, hosted by Simon Brooks and Twm Morys, along with Plaid Cymru Gwynedd councillor Seimon Glyn. It campaigned on behalf of local communities in Wales, particularly (but not exclusively) Welsh-speaking and rural ones, which it perceived to be under threat due to demographic change. The organisation has been characterised as Welsh nationalist, and critics have accused its rhetoric as being anti-English in nature, although this has been disputed.
