Family refused to leave home after roundabout built around it

A family who have lived in the middle of a busy roundabout for over 40 years said "it's like living by any road".

The Howatson family have lived in the middle of a busy North Wales roundabout for over 40 years after a bypass was built around their family home. Those who have travelled on the A525 from Rhyl to Ruthin on a Welsh holiday may have noticed the bungalow at the centre of the Denbigh bypass roundabout.

David John and Eirian Howatson moved to the bungalow in 1960. Back then there was no roundabout or Denbigh bypass - just a smallholding that surrounded their home. That was until the late 1970s,when plans were submitted for a roundabout following the completion of what at the time was the new Denbigh bypass.
