Tourists say North Wales is friendly destination

Tourists say North Wales is friendly destination

Caernarfon Castle

TOURISM chiefs believe that North Wales has now got the warmest welcome in the UK.

The results of a survey of visitors by Visit Wales and Tourism Partnership has produced a highly positive image of our relationship with tourists.

It follows surveys by Visit Wales last year which reported visitors’ impression of the region as unfriendly, old fashioned and rude.

Today’s results, however, reveal that 90% of visitors said the people here are friendly and 87% had a warm welcome.

Chevron says it is looking for a buyer for its refinery in Pembrokeshire which employs around 1,400 people.

The US-based company said it wanted to gauge interest in the Pembroke site but said it would not close down.

It processes 220,000 barrels of crude oil a day and is estimated to be worth £1.5m a week to the county's economy.

MP Nick Ainger said managers had told him Chevron planned to invest over £50m at the site and he was hopeful the refinery had "a real future".

Chevron said its intention to look for bids for some of its operations in Europe was part of its global restructuring.

Mr Fisher is accused of murdering his daughter in his car

A man accused of stabbing his 17-year-old daughter to death has chosen not to give evidence in his defence.

Gary Fisher, 48, from Solihull, West Midlands, denies murdering Chanelle Sasha Jones in a car park in Ceredigion on 2 August last year.

Swansea Crown Court has already heard Mr Fisher refused to answer questions from police after his arrest.

Mr Fisher was warned by the judge in court the jury may "draw inferences" from his decision not to give evidence.

His barrister, Elwen Evans QC, said he had already been warned and appreciated the situation.

Asked if Mr Fisher would be calling any evidence, Ms Evans replied: "No, none at all."

A buyer has been found to proceed with an £85m development on the site of Rhyl's former funfair.

There were fears the Ocean Plaza project was in doubt after original developers, Modus Properties Ltd, went into administration in 2009.

Denbighshire council said it was keen to work with new owners, Yorkshire-based Scarborough Group.

The site has planning permission for 200 apartments, a hotel, supermarket and pubs.
