Downing Street enters row over move to ditch English name of Brecon Beacons

PM’s spokesperson says people will continue to use national park’s English name despite change to Welsh one, Bannau Brycheiniog

Downing Street has stepped into a growing row over a decision to ditch the English name of the Brecon Beacons in favour of the old Welsh one, Bannau Brycheiniog.

The prime minister’s official spokesperson said he was sure people would continue to use the national park’s English name and questioned the move to drop a symbol of a flaming beacon from the park’s logo.
