Mrs. Margaret McCarroll of Rhyl South West ward died this
year, on January 4th. Margaret was a friendly Irish lady to whom her family,
her Catholic faith, her membership of The Labour Party and membership of the
town and county councils, were all important.
Margaret’s legacy in Rhyl is the existence of the credit
union which she worked hard with others to establish and promote. Originally
called Clwyd Coast Credit Union, it is now part of North Wales Credit Union and
continues to offer affordable loans – a better option than loan sharks!
She was one of the few councillors that could be seen shopping often in Rhyl town centre. She nagged I mean persuaded me to become a member
of the credit union, and I bought my first ever computer with a loan from
there. So you see, if it hadn’t been for Margaret there might never have been a
Rhyl
Life blog at all!
If you are on a low income go and discover what the
credit union is all about; you won’t regret it. The office is at 17-19 Bodfor
Street, Rhyl, and the telephone number is (01745) 361274.
