Why were there so few town councillors at the mayor's cheese and wine yesterday evening? Aside from the mayor herself, I counted four. Perhaps it was the food hygiene rating that put them off. The Ruthin Castle has managed to achieve a ZERO out o…
We certainly hope not. Yesterday's talk on the railway in Rhuthun/Ruthin by Fiona Gale as part of Gŵyl Rhuthun was informative and interesting. I would guess that most of those present knew something about the railway but not everything and certai…
Well, that was all rather odd. Yesterday's carnival parade hit the Square at 11.13AM which, by my estimation, was 17 minutes before it should've left the Crispin Yard car park. It certainly caught the marshals unawares and there were a number …
It cannot be easy for any family to come to terms even 40 years later with the death of a son. It was indeed 40 years ago that Welsh Guards' Lance Sergeant James Russell Carlyle died in action during the Falklands campaign. His comrades turned out…
A number of town centre buildings are enjoying a summer paint-up or patch-up. Included is Trefor Jones, Clwyd Street. There's also sundry works on The Square c/o Michael Hall Esq, who's reported to have taken a handful of properties on. Let&#…

On Saturday afternoon at about 2.30, while enjoying a drink on the Square, I decided to count the number of cars moving across the Square. I did this because it was obvious how busy with traffic the town was. I was astonished at the result. Some driv…
Is Rhuthun/Ruthin one of the UK's most disloyal towns? (And, these days, does it matter?) After the controversy surrounding whether or not the town council should in some way mark the platinum jubilee , when it was decided it was to be 'low k…
It's understandable that there are many more accoutrements in Rhuthun/Ruthin to celebrate the first Eisteddford yr Urdd since 2019, which happens to be in Dinbych, than this weekend's platinum jubilee. But there's also a little competitio…
