Hunt for rapist

POLICE are hunting a man who raped a woman under a railway bridge in Llandudno.

The 19-year-old victim was attacked by a man under Bryniau Road/ Maesdu bridge at about 4.20am on Sunday, May 31.

North Wales Police wants to hear from any witnesses.

They particularly want to speak to a man and woman who may have spoken to the victim outside Alexandra Stores at about 4.20am that day.

Police are also keen to talk to a cyclist who was seen crossing over the railway bridge at 4.30am, heading towards the Gloddaeth Avenue/ West Shore area.

The woman was said to be wearing a blue dress and the man was in a white shirt with a pink tie.

None of them are suspects.

The offender is white and in his early 20s. He was about 5ft 9in tall and of medium build.

Ring Detective Superintendent Tim Evans at St Asaph CID on 0845 607 1001 (Welsh line), 1002 (English line) or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Cut your carbon costs

BUSINESSES are being invited to attend a free interactive workshop on how cutting carbon emissions can save costs.

The Carbon Trust is holding a one-day energy management workshop at Venue Cymru in Llandudno on Tuesday, June 16.

Carbon Trust Wales helped organisations across Wales save over £29 million last year alone.

This workshop will offer practical advice, from understanding your energy bill and monitoring energy consumption to how best to reduce your carbon footprint.

Mike Batt, manager of Carbon Trust Wales (pictured), said: “Introducing energy efficiency practices in the workplace can save businesses up to 20% on their power bills.

“In the current economic climate, that should certainly not be underestimated.”

Cathryn Williams of the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham said she attended the free workshop last summer and found it very useful:

“We were shown how to decipher energy bills and given lots of little hints to reduce the amount of energy we use in the workplace,” she said.
