Ewloe
Ewloe (; , ) is a village (and electoral ward) in Flintshire, Wales, contiguous with Hawarden and Buckley and near to Queensferry and Shotton. Situated close to the Flintshire/Cheshire sector of the Wales-England border, Ewloe forms part of Deeside. The A55 expressway passes through the town and its most notable landmark is Ewloe Castle. At the 2001 Census, the population was 4,862 (2,390 males, 2,472 females). Ewloe ceased being a town in its own name with all of the population being listed under Hawarden. The electoral ward remained with a total population taken at the 2011 Census of 5,420. Economy . Ewloe grew rapidly during the late 1990s and early 2000s and is now the home of the internet based Moneysupermarket.com and construction company Redrow. HSBC Bank along with many other firms can be found in Ewloe. Unilever previously occupied the old Alyn and Deeside District Council Office, though this is now occupied by Flintshire County Council. The Village Hotels chain of hotels hosts the 'St David's Hotel' just off the A55 road network in Ewloe. The St David's Park housing estate was built in the 1990s and is known as being a prestigious estate popular with young professionals  and families respectively. Increasing numbers of new property and the resulted increase to population in Ewloe led to the opening of a new Co-op supermarket on the St David's Park road, with Ewloe now boasting two Co-op stores around 835 metres apart. Local residents have shown opposition to plans for the construction of a "superpub" complex in Ewloe by Marston's plc. However, the council have approved plans to build the superpub in St Davids Park, which then opened in September 2010, but was damaged in an arson attack early morning on 6 February 2011. Education. Two  primary schools exist within the Ewloe and Ewloe Green wards. These are Penarlag CP School and Ewloe Green Primary School. Secondary students from Ewloe are mostly educated at Hawarden High School in adjacent Hawarden. Governance. At the lowest level of local government, Ewloe is an electoral ward that elects community councillors to Hawarden Community Council. The other three community electoral divisions are Aston, Hawarden and Mancot. Ewloe is also a county ward for elections to Flintshire County Council, electing two county councillors.
