This giant seawall will be transformed at North Wales seaside resort
A seawall built as part of new flood defences will be transformed at a seaside town. Working on behalf of Denbighshire County Council, Balfour Beatty's redevelopment of the East Parade in Rhyl included removing the old promenade and sea walls. The new prom was widened and raised to provide protection and for improved pedestrian and cyclist access, with a concrete-stepped revetment constructed to reduce flooding risk — protecting over 600 properties in Central Rhyl. Now a mural will be be created to span up to 60 pre-cast units - printed on durable materials such as aluminium to bring a lasting tribute to the town. Alongside the main installation, workshops with local schools, youth groups and families have helped shape a vibrant mural trail reflecting Rhyl's past, present and future. Artists are now putting the final touches to the striking new mural. Led by artist and facilitator Ffion Pritchard, the project invited creatives from across Denbighshire to contribute to the Ein Rhyl/Our Rhyl campaign. Supported by Rhyl Neighbourhood Board – an independent collective made up of residents, business owners, politicians, council officers and grassroots organisations - and Balfour Beatty, the mural aims to showcase the heart and heritage of the beloved seaside resort, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. 'The response has been incredible,' said Ffion, from Bangor. 'We've worked with a wide range of amazing community groups and seen just how much creativity and pride exists here. From young people to older residents, everyone has had something valuable to share. This project has brought people together in a powerful way, allowing them to express their vision of Rhyl - what it means to them, where it's been, and where it's going. It's been a joy to help guide that process.' Craig Sparrow, Chair of Rhyl Neighbourhood Board, added: 'We're incredibly grateful for the dedication and creativity that's gone into this project. It's been fantastic to see the community come together, from third sector groups to individual artists, everyone has played a part. 'Projects like this show just how much talent there is in Rhyl, and how art can help tell our story in such a meaningful and lasting way. I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed mural. 'It's going to be something we can all be proud of and will showcase the very best of Rhyl, both for residents and visitors.' Participants have included Ysgol Tir Morfa, West Rhyl Young People's Project, Viva LGBT Youth Cymru, Brighter Futures, Willow Collective, Ysgol Bryn Hedydd, and families through workshops at the town library. The project is on course to be completed in August. Denbighshire County Council will be receiving £20million for Rhyl from the UK Government's Plan for Neighbourhoods programme. Rhyl Neighbourhood Board will develop a 10-year vison for the town and an initial investment plan to determine what priorities should be.

Hazardous substance permission sought for pioneering green hydrogen production facility in Ayrshire
An application to produce hydrogen near Whitelee Wind Farm will be considered by East Ayrshire Council. An application to allow the production and storage of volatile hydrogen and other fuels at Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project has been lodged. ScottishPower has applied for hazardous substances consent to operate a green hydrogen facility at the site, which is home to the largest wind farm in the UK. The proposed development involves producing hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using power from the adjacent wind and solar farms, then storing and transporting it in specialised high-pressure trailers. The application outlines the storage and handling of several controlled substances, including up to 4 tonnes of hydrogen, 1.3 tonnes of diesel, and 0.24 tonnes of sodium hypochlorite, all of which are subject to strict regulations under hazardous materials law. Hydrogen will be created by splitting demineralised water using two 5MW electrolyser trains, with the gas compressed, dried, and stored in a series of mobile tube trailers. These will be used to export the hydrogen via road, with up to six heavy goods vehicle (HGV) movements per day expected. According to the application, safety has been a major consideration in the site's layout and risk assessments. The hydrogen facility will be located more than a kilometre from any public areas, including the B764. The company says that around 10 permanent staff are expected to work at the hydrogen site, in addition to occasional workers at the co-located solar and wind farms. ScottishPower confirmed the site will operate to 'Lower Tier' standards under the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations, even though the facility currently does not meet the threshold requiring full COMAH classification. The company has committed to rigorous risk assessments, including blast and fire impact modelling, and plans to install venting systems, CCTV, fencing, and potential protective structures like blast walls. The project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) considered peat depth, drainage, flood risk, and the effect on local watercourses. The hydrogen facility is sited in an area with shallower peat, minimising habitat disruption. Treated water will be discharged to local streams under SEPA-regulated conditions, and a PPC (Pollution Prevention and Control) permit is being pursued. Peat probing, flood modelling, and a 12-month water monitoring programme are already underway, and measures to handle oily water and control surface run-off have been outlined. The hazardous substances consent application is an early but crucial step in progressing the wider Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, which aims to become one of the UK's first large-scale green hydrogen production facilities directly powered by renewable energy. A broad application for the facility was made in 2021, with a view to having it up and running by the end of 2023. However, Scottish Ministers opted to 'call in' the application, viewing the project as nationally significant in relation to policies on hydrogen production and net zero. The application was eventually approved in January and has been followed up with planning applications for an associated pipeline and this application for hazardous material consent.
