Despite all its bad press, Rhyl still looks cleaner and busier with less empty shops than the much acclaimed and recently appointed "city" of Wrexham...!!!
Looks like its improved a lot. People who don't know Rhyl will see this video and be wondering "does the town end at the promenade road or is there a beach?" Lol.
It is a great pity that at the height of tourism in seaside towns in the UK no one on the local councils had a plan for what would happen if the tourists stopped coming. Ordinary working-class people started to go overseas for their holidays in the late 1960s when air travel which had been a thing afforded only by the well-off, became much cheaper . By the early to mid-1970s hundreds of thousands of Britains were holidaying around the Med. However, most of the UK holiday towns did very little or nothing about finding other sources of employment and income. Perversely our almost suicidal break with the EU may force an impoverished public to holiday at home once more. We may yet see the beaches of Rhyl and its sister towns full again!
Suicidal break with the EU? They all live on tourism from us, that's why I'm all for global warming, once Spain and Greece are too hot to go to, everyone will holiday here again 👍
Honest truth is you won't see many holiday makers in Rhyl because there's nothing to visit for. All the holidays attractions have moved along the coast. As a holiday maker put it. Same shops we have back home. No point in visiting here again.
@@buffi944 oh I'm not a bit upset .I just do not like rudeness and insulting other people's choices.there is no need for it.the streets and pound shops yes I agree it does nothing to improve a place.but at least it has shops.yes I'm proud of my name.but please tell me what you think my type is ?.

Wrexham has lots of decent people living in its entire area. Rhyl has lots of decent tourists within its town centre
To be honest, Rhyl is still looking better than most northern English post-industrial towns and cities.
Thanks
Only due to three street cleaners being put out around tourism season. Any other time, it's full of litter ect
Maybe coz it's a Welsh town and not an English northern town
As a person who used to live in rhyl . I can honestly say it still looks beautiful and cleaner xx
Thanks for your comment

Council designed street and rubbish pound shops, even the way people dress says it all.
its like romania, in colour.
No need to be rude about what people wear.i take you shop in designer places which you think gives you the right to insult other's.
