Exciting changes might be coming to Rhyl’s high street! The council has proposed demolishing some vacant shops and replacing them with a brand-new “pocket park,” thanks to funding from the UK and Welsh governments. 🌿
This park would feature lush greenery and seating, aiming to breathe life back into the town centre. Though some locals worry about potential misuse of the space, others see it as a fresh, imaginative addition that could turn into a beloved local spot. 🌳
One resident shared concerns about anti-social behaviour, but the council has promised to address this by enhancing security measures like raising planting beds and adding CCTV. Meanwhile, supporters believe the park could blossom into a community asset, with hopes it will attract everyone, from families to nature lovers. 🌼
Rhyl’s council emphasised the decision comes after thorough evaluation and community feedback. While revamping the existing buildings wasn’t feasible, they believe the park will enhance the area’s charm, providing a green oasis in the heart of town! 🍃
