Talk:Flint, Flintshire

message: It's not been the county town since the old Flintshire was abolished in 1974.  Has no-one actually been there in the last 30 years?--JBellis 21:16, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the county town of the traditional county of Flintshire. The abolition of an administrative county that only existed between 1888-1974 doesn't change that fact. Owain 09:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Lots of hilarious facts on the page... not that useful and correct, but entertaining nevertheless
:Moved the following from the main article...
Flint Castle appeared on an ITV Granada Regional Weather Forecast around June/July 2001. Fred Talbot, aka Fred The Weatherman, started the broadcast with some information about the castle which had nothing to do with the weather. He moved on to the forecast for the North West region and for the most part was accurate in his predictions.
and...
Perhaps one of the town's most iconic images apart from the Castle is the high-rise flats situated near the town centre. The first two blocks were built in the 1960's and named Bolingbroke Heights and Richard Heights. Both flats have had terrible problems with the lifts breaking down over the past few years. The third block of flats, Castle Heights, was built a short while after and doesn't have as much trouble with faulty lifts. in 2007/2008 Bolingbroke Heights and Richard Height have undergone a new facelift to their lifts, they are now cleaner and quicker.

message: Thw article states:
:18% of the local population identify themselves as Welsh, but the great majority (82%) do not (source: 2001 Census)
There was no option for selection 'Welsh' as an identity in the 2001 Census, so I'd argue that its incorrect to claim that 82% of the population do not consider themselves Welsh based on this.--Rhyswynne (talk) 09:35, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Culture and demographics section and Welsh identity

message: This section is incorrect - referring to the ward map for Flintshire, it's clear that Hawarden, Hawarden Bridge and Shotton stations lie well outside of the area covered by Flint Town Council (which comprises the wards of Flint Castle, Flint Coleshill, Flint Trelawney and Flint Oakenholt).

I will amend this section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.82.0.8 (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
