Covering the Conwy Valley patch often includes reports of search and rescues by the two mountain rescue associations covering the countryside and mountain ranges of Conwy and Snowdonia.

ETHICS... every day at work, whether you're a taxi driver, mechanic, brain surgeon, journalist or police officer, we all have decisions to make and responsibilities to others.

WELCOME to our brand spanking new website!

I admit it's been a long time coming, but we've been planning this launch for months and months, and due to various delays it has been pushed back a fair few weeks more than we'd have liked. Rumours that we forgot to make sure we owned the Weekly News web domain are completely unfounded...

Whose box will you tick?

The Welsh Assembly elections are just hours away. You'll soon be off to the polling station to cast your vote, but what of the candidates? Who are the men and women banging on our doors, begging us to tick their box while pledging world peace and free milk?
