Meet the people shaping the future of Rhyl. A refreshed Our Rhyl / Ein Rhyl Board is leading the delivery of the town’s ambitious £20million, 10-year regeneration programme, building on strong community foundations and more than a year of extensive engagement.
Bringing together expertise from health, education, business, community, tourism, faith, regeneration and the third sector, the Board reflects the diversity, experience and passion within Rhyl itself.
United by a shared commitment to long-term, sustainable change, its members will help guide priorities, champion local voices and turn ideas into action – laying the groundwork for a more confident, inclusive and thriving Rhyl for years to come.
