A POPULAR Vale of Clwyd garden is now closed to the public.

The Dr Evan Pierce Memorial Garden, on Vale Street, in Denbigh, is currently closed to the general public for health and safety reasons.

Town clerk Jenny Barlow said: "There is a leak in one of the fountains which is currently being looked at.

"As the garden is listed, we have to liaise with the conservation department of Denbighshire County Council as well as CADW.

"Once the correct permissions have been received we will need to procure a suitably qualified company to action the work."

The garden will reopen as soon as this work has been completed.
