RUBBISH! THE NAME THE DOUBLE L IN LLISWERRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ORIGINAL SPELLING OF THE NAME, TAKEN FORM THE WELSH LLYS MEANING COURT. THE SPELLING WITH 1 L HAS ONLY HAD IT'S ORIGINS WHEN THE POST OFFICE OPPENED THE L WAS DROPPED EITHER BECAUSE THE ORGINATORS WERE TRYING TO ANGLICIZE THE NAME OR IT WAS EASIER TO PRODUCE ON A STAMP! CHECK OUT W.H. DAVIES POETRY IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!! PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN AND BRED IN LLISWERRY FIND IT INCREASINGLY ANNOYING THAT OUTSIDERS APPEAR TO KNOW HOW TO SPELL OR NAME BETTER THAN WE DO AND FIND THAT THE COUNCIL CHANGE STREET SIGNS AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS IN ORDER TO ABOLISH THE ORIGINAL SPELING OR OUR NAME!

LET THE PEOPLE OF LLISWERY CHOOSE HOW THEIR DISTRICT IS TO BE SPELT AND STOP TRYING TO DESTROY A NAME THAT HAS EXISTED FOR HUNDREDS OR YEARS BEFORE NEWPORT COUNCIL OR THE STATISTICS OFFICE!!!

LONG LIVE LLISWERRY WITH 2 L'S!!!
