A road in Dolgellau was completely blocked for nearly an hour this week after a lorry driver using a satellite navigation system got his vehicle stuck.
The incident happened on Pencefn road near Ysgol Gynradd Dolgellau.
This is the second incident of this kind on this road in the last two weeks, after a larger wagon tried to go up Pencefn road on the 21 January.
WORK on a new Porthmadog bypass finally got under way this week after nearly 40 years of campaigning.
To mark the occasion, dignitaries from Porthmadog and further afield came to a special tree planting ceremony last Friday to mark the start of the road, which is meant to ease traffic problems in and around the town.
The new section of the A487 around Porthmadog, Minffordd and Tremadog, will improve journey times, ease congestion and significantly improve environmental conditions within the area.
Six minutes of madness saw a 54-year-old Llandysul woman rip off her nightdress and expose herself after carrying out an unprovoked attack on former Wales rugby international Hemi Taylor (pictured).
Her husband, meanwhile, crashed his tractor through a wooden gate on Mr Taylor’s property, destroyed traffic bollards and tore up the rugby star’s manicured lawn.
Janice Lesley Griffiths, of Ffynnon Gynnen in Cross Inn, wept before a crowded Cardigan court as stunned magistrates were told how she had “completely forgotten her dignity” during the 23 July attack on the former Cardiff and Barbarians flanker.
A Penparcau couple have been evicted from their house after neighbours complained that their persistent anti-social behaviour had made their lives a misery.
Married couple Matthew and Jamie Harvey had lived at 18 Cae Job for two years. They had been warned on many occasions by police and the Cymdeithas Tai Cantref housing association that their anti-social behaviour was unacceptable.
And on 22 January, Tai Cantref, which owns the property, applied to Aberystwyth County Court for an injunction to prohibit the Harveys from going within 50 metres of Cae Job. Seven days later, the association was granted an eviction order by the county court.
MACHYNLLETH town councillors were desperate to discuss in private this week the loss of a festival to the town which was expected to bring in thousands of people to the area this summer.
The Cambrian News was excluded from a discussion at Monday night’s full council meeting into the matter - despite no grounds for confidentiality being raised.
Last week the Cambrian News revealed that the Festival in the Shire had changed venues, from Y Plas in Machynlleth, to Pafiliwn Bont in Pontrhydfendigaid, Ceredigion, after a row between festival organiser Mark Faith (pictured) and Cllr Bob Dunn, who manages Y Plas.
