A reviewer describes a warm and lively visit to Tim’s Coffee Lounge in Rhyl, highlighting its friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and strong sense of community. The café’s drinks and cakes are praised, particularly a vanilla oat‑milk latte and an indulgent almond‑style slice. The setting, décor and customer interactions create an inviting environment that feels welcoming even to solo visitors, with the reviewer expressing an intention to return.

Large crowds gathered in Rhyl for the 135th Rhyl Carnival, which proceeded despite heatwave-related cancellations of animal attractions. A midday parade featuring emergency services, youth groups and traditional carnival courts led into Coronation Gardens, where rides, food stalls and entertainment sustained a lively festival atmosphere. The Parade of Queens and the Queen’s Competition drew strong interest, and the event continued to showcase strong community spirit and tradition.

Plans to expand a coach depot near Eryrys have been recommended for approval despite objections from residents and the local community council over noise, traffic, and landscape impacts. Keane’s Coaches seeks permission to use Burley Hill Garage for up to 10 vehicles with 24‑hour access due to rail replacement work. A council noise assessment indicates minimal impact, and planners say restricting operating hours is unnecessary. The proposal will be considered by Denbighshire County Council’s planning committee on 9 July.
