Northop Hall will retain its English name, but Pentre Moch will become its primary Welsh name following approval by Flintshire council. The name survived despite restrictions on the Welsh language throughout the 19th Century and will now be added to Ordna

    TfW pay-as-you-go risks overcharging train passengers, says Flintshire council (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A council has warned that Transport for Wales' (TfW) pay-as-you-go system could leave some rail passengers paying more - as it charges all users an adult fare.

    Councillors have been given assurances that a multimillion-pound investment project will deliver on its pledge to create 4,000 jobs in north Wales. The North Wales Growth Deal secured £240m from the UK and Welsh governments to invest in transport, planning and economic development projects in 2020.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Wrexham AFC's new Colliers Park pavilion is going before the local council's planning comittee on Monday - a week after it was opened. The application to build it was lodged in August, when it was almost finished. It was flagged by Gresford Community Council, which also told the planning committee it was "disappointed" to be consulted on the proposal so late.
