More local organisations announce plans to re-open



* Llangollen Sightseeing is heading back to town.

More local organisations have announced on Facebook their plans to emerge from lockdown.

Llangollen Sightseeing posted: "We are back!

"We are delighted to announce that from this weekend the Horseshoe Pass Tour will be back and will run 5 days a week.

"However, the bus will run at a reduced capacity to maintain social distancing so pre-booking is recommended.

"Tours run Wednesday to Sunday and depart at 12pm, 1:30pm and 3pm from Parade Street."




* The Bridge End Hotel aims to re-open on Saturday.


The Bridge End Hotel said: "The wait is finally over!
"We are delighted to announce that at long last we will be opening our doors from Saturday 1st August.
"The safety of both our customers and staff is paramount, so we’ve had to make a few changes to the way we do things.
"We will be serving drinks ONLY at this time in our outdoor seating areas. Booking is not essential, but at busy times you may be asked to wait.

"If you would like to book a table, please get in touch with us via our Facebook page or by texting us on 07387715020, and we will send you confirmation of your booking. Please note that we will be accepting cash payments, but card would be preferable.
"We will resume serving food very soon, and our chef John will have some delicious treats to offer you. Please see our Facebook page for updates to service and offers.
"This is all as new to us as it is to you, and we do ask that you are patient with us while we get to grips with the new procedures we have put in place, and that you follow government guidelines. Abusive behaviour towards any member of staff or a disregard for our new regulations will result in you being asked to leave.
"We’re really looking forward to welcoming all our customers old and new back on Saturday."


And the Llangollen Group of Anglican Churches posted: "Following on from last update regarding the careful process of re-opening our churches for public worship, Fr Lee is currently working out the precise details of the adapted liturgy and Risk Assessment for St Collen's church.
"We hope - and this is not definite - that St Collen's can open on Sunday 30th August for public worship at 11am.
"If we get the go-ahead, this will be the only church in the Llangollen Group available for a single service each Sunday.
"As mentioned in the last update, there are many factors and considerations involved in this staged process. There are also reports of an increase in corona virus cases here in north wales. So we need to be cautious.
"Re-entering the church will feel like a joyful homecoming; a return form a long period of exile. There will be mixed feeling of grief and loss; thanksgiving for the courage and generosity of so many; the resurgence of neighbourliness which has transformed communities.
"It is important that the liturgy reflects these mixed emotions.
"So, for the first Sunday back, Fr Lee is looking for people from our regular congregations and also from the town to share their own personal stories of the crisis and lockdown.
"Please let him know if you are willing to share your story for 5 minutes during the service.
"More updates will follow in due course. Please remember to observe physical distancing."
