New café in memory of baby who died 'preventable' Glan Clwyd death
GREEDYZ will be based at unit two of Imperial Buildings on Station Road (next door to Bobcats Coffee, and at the former site of Eateasy).
It is hoping to open in the next few weeks, and will be run by the mother and grandmother of Lucas Munslow, from Flint, who died at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan of bacterial meningitis six years ago.
The café has been named after Greedy the Gorilla, a children's character of Haven Holidays – he was a personal favourite of Lucas', who visited Haven Hafan y Môr Holiday Park often.
Kimberley Munslow, Lucas' mum, said: 'We've had a lot of work to do to it – paying for wiring, decorating… we were meant to have opened at the beginning of the year, but it's taken us a lot longer.

Helping Kimberley at the café will be her mother-in-law, Mandy, who previously ran Station View Café in Colwyn Bay.
She added: 'I've never done anything like this before. It's in memory of Lucas, because he loved Greedy the Gorilla; he was mesmerised by him.
'We're going to start with doing breakfasts, but we're hoping to also open in the evenings for fish and chips, curries, steaks and more.
'There's been a hell of a lot of work to do, so I'm looking forward to it opening – I just can't wait for it to be finished.'
