Rhuthun/Ruthin Blog survey participants will recall we asked four general questions on Rhuthun. Here are the results.
We asked, Is it Rhuthun or Ruthin?
Nearly 40 per cent of you replied ‘Rhuthun’, 37 per cent ‘Ruthin’ and 15 per cent were undecided. Interestingly, fewer than 10 per cent felt either was appropriate, depending upon the linguistic context. One retired person added the comment that as a Welsh speaker they’d used ‘Ruthin’ all their lives and felt it acceptable. Conclusion: as many people feel comfortable with ‘Ruthin’ as they do ‘Rhuthun’. Why, then, do we see so little for ‘Rhuthun’?
We asked, What are your views on Canolfan Grefft Rhuthun Craft Centre?
Roundly a third of respondents each felt it was good for Rhuthun; a waste of space & money; or were undecided. Conclusion: no conclusion.
We asked, Would you buy a house at Glasdir?
17 per cent were undecided. Fewer than two per cent of respondents said they would consider one. Just over 80 per cent felt they would not, ever. Conclusion: those who do buy at Glasdir are likely to be incomers, not locals.
We asked, How do you view the Denbighshire Free Press?
About a fifth stated they didn’t read it. 10 per cent were undecided. A further fifth of respondents felt it was a good read, reflecting life in Rhuthun. Nearly half felt it was a tired, boring, predictable rag. Conclusion: why are sales relatively buoyant?
We also asked a fifth question, Is Tesco in Rhuthun a good thing?
As the answer strikes at the whole raison d’être of this Blog, we’ll tackle it tomorrow.
