Demi Moore's latest movie, Half Light, gets its UK premiere in Holyhead on Anglesey on Sunday, 18 June.

Though the Hollywood actress herself will not be present, the film is expected to attract a record audience at the Ucheldre Cultural Centre in Holyhead.

Known for its outstanding natural beauty, the Anglesey coast, and Llanddwyn beach in particular, was an obvious choice for this film. Moore plays a novelist who visits a remote fishing village to come to terms with her son's death.

Holyhead major retail investment boost

Giant supermarket investment plans are unveiled for Holyhead, according to the Holyhead Mail (21 June). Forming part of a massive $46 million retail park investment on the outskirts of the Anglesey town, an estimated 400 jobs could be created.

Plans show a 65,000 sq ft food store which would be built on the old Hedstrom Toy factory. Anglesey County Council will look at the application this autumn.

Investors on the existing 60,000 sq ft site include Wilkinsons hardware, Peacocks clothing, Brantano shoes and fashion chain New Look. In fact, Wilkinsons are so pleased with business that they will expand by a further 7,000 sq ft.

David MacMullen, a director with Pettifer Estates, said: We want to keep [the] investment on Anglesey. He pointed to the environmental benefits from saving fuel, saying a round trip to Bangor for major shopping is about 50 miles.

The MCA is investigating further the source of the pollution, with support from the Environemnt Agency and the Local Authority. It's not clear at this stage whether the spillage is diesel or oil.
