Church congregations can move in mysterious ways. The part-closures of and changes to the Anglican churches in Rhuthun/Ruthin were designed to appeal to all. But that hasn't necessarily been the case, not for everyone. From the recruitment pack …
After the PR disaster for zero out of five for its food hygiene, Ruthin Castle has bounced back to four out of five. Given the importance of the Castle to the town, that is a relief. It's been five, before but generally three. When rated zero, at…
Yesterday saw the launch of a new bus service. It's the T8 between Corwen and Chester via Rhuthun/Ruthin and Yr Wyddgrug/Mold. Just maybe the T8 will attract people *from* Chester to Rhuthun... wouldn't that be good It operates hourly, which …

Human trafficking comes to Rhuthun/Ruthin. This on Facebook yesterday, care of Rhuthun/Ruthin's market hall. I have informed social services.
The Health Food Shop's been selling Ecover refillable products almost as long as it's been in business. We'd say Ecover's been available in Rhuthun/Ruthin there for over 30 years. Then, in competition, along came Naturally Ethical, als…
It seems that the key to getting visitors is to invite Banksy to paint a mural. Even though the one in Y Rhyl is now proven to be a fraud, just a plain graffito. Yet, look at the excitement it's generated (though, it now appears quite awful with c…
