Resurfacing work in Oak Street gets the finishing touches

The second phase of resurfacing work in Oak Street is underway this morning (Sunday).

Heavy equipment has been brought in to lay the new surface and the street, along with the adjacent Chapel Street, is closed to traffic to allow the job to go ahead.

As last week when the work began, diversions are in place and pedestrians still have access.



Westheads back on the road and heading for Asia

The three young friends on a mammoth cycling trip to Thailand in aid of a heart charity are now back in the saddle again after their winter halt.

Dyfan Hughes, 18, from Llangollen, Louis Dennis, 19, from Garth, and James Thomas,19, from Wrexham aim to cycle the 10,000 miles to the Far East in memory of Tony Edge, the father of a friend who died following a heart attack in 2024.

The intrepid trio, calling themselves the Westheads, set out from Lllangollen Football Club's HQ last August at the very start of their marathon ride which they reckon will take them at least 18 months to complete. 

To date they have cycled through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Turkey and Georgia and are now heading for central Asia.

Along the way they aimed to raise £10,000 for the British Heart Foundation but, so far, well-wishers following their daily social media updates have pledged a healthy £23,000 to their cause.

The lads spent the winter in the town of Batumi on the Black Sea coast of Georgia and recently got back on the road as the weather improved.

In one of their latest updates they outlined the problem of exactly how to get safely into Asia with political problems in both Iran and Russia.

They have therefore decided to take a plane ride with their bikes across the Caspian Sea to Aqtau in Kazakhstan.
