Masterplan 2

We're asking for your views in a brief two-question survey. Click here We understand that the Masterplan 2 exhibition in the Craft Centre has but one week left to run. Go down and see what you think and stick a few Post It notes on the wall or …

Peaks

Has anyone else noticed that we live our lives according to a set of peaks. I presume the word comes from the phrase "peak period" when traffic is at its highest. So, there are daily peaks: Such as between 7.00 and 7.45, when plenty of peop…

A Success?

Shame on me! Wythnos Rhuthun Week and I spectacularly failed to become engaged by it. I've hardly mentioned it. I still haven’t been to see the New Masterplan 2 exhibition. So, thanks must go to Gavin Harris (widely held as the instigator of the …

Rhyl Ruthin Week

Next week is Rhyl Week. But this week is Wythnos Ruthun Week. Our turn. It's like Rhyl Week without the sand and the seagulls. Both are designed to promote what's best in each respective Denbighshire town though Rhyl Week is a permanent fixtur…

Making Mischief?

There's a possibility that Friday's figures on secondary schools will give people an opportunity to make mischief about our local onesecondary school. No doubt, Thursday's Free Press will gloat. Is this justified? We know already from so…

All That Glisters...

After Sunday's pointless non-event of an A55 fuel protest convoy, what's happening locally in terms of the sale of liquid gold for our cars? Well, on Saturday, the large pavement sign at Texaco Bridge Services still advertised cheap petrol …

Rain can be Devastating

Sharp-ish showers last night and during the early hours of this morning remind us that recently we've had very little of it. Those with time off between Maundy Thursday and Monday's spring bank holiday have enjoyed 11 glorious days (and more) …

Which Way to Turn?

Now that the assembly election is over and we await the count in the North today, it's time for this interesting photo. It's of two placards, next to each other, in the *same* field, near the Clwyd Gate. A case of split personality or just ind…

Square Hole Filled?

A lick of paint yesterday on the exterior of the former Thresher's off-licence on the Square may indicate that this prominent shop could be coming back into use again. Such a move would be more than welcome. At one point, it was going to be a t…
