Information from Horizan Nuclear Power
As you may already know, Horizon Nuclear Power will be launching the first phase of community consultation on plans for Wylfa Newydd, the
new nuclear power station for Anglesey. This will involve us sharing details of our draft proposals with people across Anglesey and North
Wales and inviting feedback on those plans. This is a major milestone for the project and an important time for the community of Anglesey and
North Wales so we are very keen to gather feedback from as many people as possible.
We are inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to take part. The
attached poster/flyer provides more information about how to participate and people can visit our website
http://consultation.horizonnuclearpower.com to access all the information about the project including details of the various
consultation events that we will be holding during October and November.
Please note that a British Sign Language Interpreter will be available at the public exhibition being held in Amlwch on the 21st of November at
Amlwch Agewell Centre, Memorial Hall, 18 Market Street, Amlwch, LL68 9ET 2pm to 8pm and the drop-in event in Bangor on the 26th of
November at Bangor University, Main Arts Building, Bangor, LL57 2DG from 12 to 2pm

A free Park and Ride Service for Glan Clwyd Hospital will start on Monday 13th October.
The shuttle bus scheme will help ease the current parking pressures and traffic congestion on the Glan Clwyd site. The Scheme is aimed mainly at staff, freeing up more spaces at the hospital for patients and visitors, but members of the public coming to the hospital are also welcome to use it.
The parking area will be on the former Hotpoint factory site in Bodelwyddan and signposting will direct drivers from the main road/roundabout on the approach to the Hospital. The car park holds up to 250 cars, is floodlit and there will be a security presence during operating hours.
The service will be available Monday to Friday each week. Buses will run every fifteen minutes, with the first bus leaving the Hotpoint site at 6:30am and the last bus leaving Glan Clwyd Hospital at 7:35pm. There is NO charge for using the service.
The Park and Ride Scheme will run over the winter months. It will be monitored closely and feedback from users used to review and improve our parking facilities for our patients, visitors and staff.
All our staff are being encouraged to use the new shuttle service whenever possible, and hence improve the experience for patients and visitors attending the hospital.
New Children’s project funded by Children in Need North Wales Deaf Association are to receive a grant from Children In Need for a Part-time Deaf Children’s Family Officer. The funding will last for three years and the role of the Deaf Children’s Family Officer will cover the whole
of North Wales.
Further details will be available shortly on our website: www.deafassociation.co.uk or if you would like to receive further details, a
job description and application form, please send your request to [email protected].

Ever wondered why some men start growing moustaches in the month of November? It’s a campaign to raise funds to promote men’s health, specifically prostrate and testicular cancer. Movember was started in Australia back in 2003 and in 2007 the Prostrate Cancer UK charity became the official partner in the UK. The campaign has grown and grown so that last year over £17.5 million was raised in the UK.
The money is used for research and to offer advice and support.
People taking part in Movember are known as Mo Bros “A Mo Bro takes action by changing their appearance through the growth of a new a moustache for the 30 days of November to change the face of men’s health. But Movember is more than just an excuse to grow a fine piece of moustachery; it’s about having conversations while raising funds and awareness, it’s about having fun and doing good.” Find out more at: http://uk.movember.com Earlier this year in Wales the cancer charity Tenovus joined forces with Prostate Cancer UK and The Movember Foundation to launch the country’s first ‘ManVan’. The 38 foot van will bring one-to-one counselling, couples’ counselling, group support and benefits advice to men living in deprived or hard-to-reach rural areas.
2,600 men are diagnosed with prostate or testicular cancer every year in Wales, with prostate cancer incidence rates 25% higher in Wales per head of population compared to the UK overall. Survival rates are improving, however this means there are more men now living with, and beyond, cancer, and coping with the physical and psychological side effects which come with it.
To find out more about prostate cancer: www.prostatecanceruk.org There is a video on prostate cancer with sign language through NHS choices http://www.nhs.uk/Video/Pages/sign-language-guide-prostate-cancer.aspx?searchtype=Tag To find out more about the ‘ManVan’: http://www.tenovus.org.uk/how-we-can-help-you/our-manvan
