Rhyl destroyed a Victorian Amusement Park among other things which today would have been 'heritage' assets. The shops are mostly touristy and unnappealing. Rhyl schemes such as monorail, sky tower and the present 'village' on the prom seem to have all dead end ideas. I mourn the passing of the Royal Floral Hall which was am miniature precursor of the Eden Project but again demolished. Rhyl has has the potential LLandudno if if knew how to stop being 'tacky'. I was born and brought up there so I saw all the folly first hand. I agree wholeheartedly with Mrs Bate.

It seems that nothing is learned from past mistakes and money is continually wasted. Rhyl is fast becoming concrete town any future plans that I have seen on the web seem to depend on shipping yet more concrete into the town. I would say to current planners, take a look 18 miles down the coast to Llandudno. It has always thrived from day trippers, Mondays to Friday holidays or just long weekends. What is it - an oldfashioned seaside town with character. I know that rhyl doesn't have the old fashioned georgian hotels but it does have a fabulous expanse of beach. New places can be built across the front (preferably with sloping roofs) that look classy.Only a quarter of the money outlaid need be spent by using local planners with common sense the rest can then be spent on housing and helping local people. Get rid of the druggies and DHSS. I have looked on with interest at the proposed plans for the re-generation of Rhyl because I visit regularly and loved it as a child.
