The Naked Takeaway scheme sees reusable food containers used by some takeaways instead of plastic or cardboard. The businesses involved in the year-long pilot to help protect the environment and support a more circular economy are – in Mold, Alexander’s Pizza, Asia Sensation, Club Spice, Spoons and Forks, and The Gathering – and in Caerwys, On the Corner Café.

A COMMUNITY heritage project is set to continue their journey back to the future inviting visitors to step back in time - and deliver a vision that will create a top new visitor attraction for Wales. Hope s Park in the Past visitors will experience life 2,000 years ago when the Romans first arrived in Britain and will be able to walk in the footsteps of their Celtic ancestors through themed living history landscapes. In the next few days, essential landscaping will begin to create an attractive reception realm for visitors. The landscaping scheme is the first phase of an ambitious plan to deliver a world-class heritage and conservation park that aims to generate new jobs for the local community.

A REUSABLE takeaway food container pilot has been launched in Flintshire and Llangollen. Mold, Caerwys and Llangollen Town Councils, with support from community groups and interested businesses in the area, have been awarded a grant from the Welsh Government Circular Economy Fund for their innovative Naked Takeaway scheme, which will see tiffin tins being used. The towns are working together to reduce their environmental impact and support a more circular economy, one where items are reused, repaired, swapped and borrowed rather than people buying new each time.
