THIS IS THE BLOG OF COLIN JONES, RHYL TOWN COUNCILLOR: BODFOR WARDl
The opinions expressed in this blog are entirely my own and not the views of the town council.

The new look of High Street area – inspired by Rhyl Business Group – has brought a mixed bag of comments, especially about palm trees. “Oh well, it’s something new,” I heard one lady shopper say when looking at the one shown above (TOP). Well yes and no, Madam. Rhyl has had palm trees in various parts of town recently and long before.
To illustrate the point, the other picture shows part of the prom opposite East Parade in 1970s; no doubt the history of palm trees in Rhyl goes back even further. The large glass building is the Royal Floral Hall.
