This evening, the culvert by Dyffryn Services is reported on flood watch. The grill installed upon health & safety advice may threaten to cause a blockage, as waters from the hills descend upon Rhuthun/Ruthin. The grill prevents children climbing …
As part of the 2015/16 budget cuts, the public search room at Denbighshire's archive, based in Rhuthun/Ruthin, now opens for 2½ rather than a full 5 days a week. As part of Archive Week, it was possible to take a quiz as set up by Denbighshi…
We last considered trends in housing here . With summer and the unusually mild & dry October now such a long way behind us, it's time once again to take stock of the local housing sales position. As the season closes down, as before, it remai…
It's always nice to have foresight but that is a gift rarely available. After three years' worth of hindsight, what happened at Glasdir on Tuesday November 27th, 2015 ? Excessive rain during October 2012 that fell on a saturated river catch…
I'm the first to call attention to the potential pitfalls of inappropriately low speed limits that, for example, have recently mushroomed over the A525 south and east of Rhuthun/Ruthin towards Wrecsam. That doesn't mean I am pro-speed. Au con…

I don't know my Colin McRae from my Tom McRae and must admit I don't usually pay any attention to the Wales Rally but, this year, I was curious about the state of play regarding the nearby travellers' encampment. Haven't seen t…
We shouldn't judge… but we invariably do. That's because reputations precede them. Once again, like last year, Rhuthun/Ruthin is inflicted by travellers. Then, they stayed for about 24 hours, a day too long in most people's opinion. They…
Page five of yesterday's Daily Mail Rhuthun/Ruthin features in the Daily Mail... again, for all the wrong reasons .This is the second time in sixth months. Now, the Daily Mail newspaper's taken up the story of the litter fixed penalty, in…
It used to be that any UK subject would confront a litter lout by picking up strewn items and handing them back. This was enough to embarrass the culprit. No more. You face a tirade of abuse that makes such action uncomfortable or impossible. So, inst…
Rhuthun/Ruthin isn't actually a single entity. It's less perceptible than once it was but there's still a dividing line between Rhuthun and Llanfwrog. Everything west of the Afon Clwyd River is actually Llanfwrog. Llanfwrog Rural Th…
Hot on the heels of the celebration of 100 years of Y Tabernacl's chapel organ comes the more significant 150th anniversary of the founding of sister Capel Eglwys Bresbyteraidd Cymru, Bethania (here, we find a digital organ albeit with an origina…
The newly appointed and soon to start head teacher of Ysgol Brynhyfryd joined with staff on October 1st to welcome parents of the prospective September 2016 entry. In spite of the Wales v Fiji rugby world cup match, attendance was much better than in …
