Eryri National Park too 'secretive' over sale of North Wales mansion
The Authority has still refused to identify a pontential buyer of the £1.2m valued Plas Tan y Bwlch
You have to see this property to appreciate its beauty and location and although someone may have to spend a lot of money on it, at the price reported it seems a bargain.
I wonder who this mystery buyer is as it all sounds a bit suspicious to me

North Wales bridge swept away in storm will be rebuilt but no-one will say when
Llanerch Bridge collapsed in 2021 but the link between Trefnant and Tremeirchion has yet to be rebuilt.    The report says that the bridge collapsed nearly 4 years ago but it's nearly 5 years and nothing has been done about it.
I suppose we can expect it to be done at the same time that the North Wales railway line is electrified

List of school closures in North Wales on January 9 as snow and ice hit
Dozens of schools are closed today
We had a fresh fall of snow and hail this morning and the road and gardens are covered in it so it's a good job that Ysgol Pen Y Bryn in Colwyn Heights is closed.
I bought a couple of bags of rock salt yesterday so that will come in handy now
