Is proposed iron ring sculpture at Flint Castle "insulting to Wales"?

Available for over a year

Plans to create an iron ring sculpture at Flint Castle have been described as "insulting to Wales". The design, said to represent the relationship between the medieval monarchies of Europe and the castles they built, was unveiled on Friday 21 July. But critics including Plaid Cymru's North Wales AM Llyr Gruffydd said it symbolises the oppression of Welsh people. Monuments body Cadw said the plans were "about investing in Flint". Huw Marshall, a digital strategist from Bridgend, and David Hanson, MP for Delyn, joined Jason on the programme to articulate the arguments for and against the proposal. Flint was one of the first castles to be built in Wales by Edward I - construction began in 1277. The winning design was selected by a panel following a nation-wide competition, and the architects said it demonstrated "the unstable nature of the crown".
