Jubilee Tower joins Bangor and Llandudno hospitals in Clap for Carers

For Denbighshire residents able to spy Moel Famau from their windows, the Jubilee Tower in was lit up blue as a beacon of support in the fourth week of 'Clap for Carers'.

Organised by The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Denbighshire County Council and the North East Wales Search and Rescue team, the landmark was illuminated with the blue flashing lights of the rescue team’s emergency vehicles. It joined Rhyl landmarks such as the Pavilion Theatre and the Sky Tower in the weekly celebration during the pandemic.

AONB deputy team leader, Gerald Davison said "We are pleased to support the AONB team with this idea. We have to regularly give our Landover’s a run out after weekly checks, so this was an ideal opportunity to combine this with giving thanks to the NHS, other emergency services and key workers. Just two members are involved to maintain appropriate social distancing at all times.

"Whilst Moel Famau Country Park is currently closed to visitors we understand how iconic the Jubilee Tower is to the many people who can view the hill from their homes. We are grateful to everyone staying at home and not travelling to the Country Park, Moel Famau will still be here when this is over and we will extend a warm welcome to our visitors then."
