A well-known street dancer who has been "making people's day" has been moved on by police - much to the dismay of dozens of locals.

The man has been seen doing yoga and busting moves near the crossroads of Ruthin Road and Vale Street in Denbigh .

But yesterday, he was moved on by police who said some people raised concerns he was causing a distraction.

Many took to the Town Talk...Denbigh News & Views Facebook forum to share their disappointment.

One woman said: "Seriously not doing any harm. He cheered us up on our way to work. Gave us all something to smile about in all the doom and gloom in the world."

One said: "It was great to see him dancing, but I can understand why he's been stopped... It could be a distraction for motorists and cause an accident. Shame though it cheered everyone up."

Some suggested the police should concentrate their efforts on fighting crime in the town.

But another said: "To be fair to the police, there have been a lot of people taking videos and photos of him on their phones whilst driving over the past few days. So they may have felt that he was a distraction to drivers at what is already a very busy crossroads; albeit a lovely distraction."

Previously residents had shared their appreciation for the man on social media and shared videos which attracted reams of comments.

She said: "I personally thought it was nice to see someone being so positive and liberal on what would normally be a rushed, Monday morning."

On the forum, one resident commented: "Whoever the bloke with the yellow jacket is standing at the bottom of Denbigh at the traffic lights dancing, can some one tell him he is absolutely smashing it! What a guy, just made my day."

One woman said: "I think he's an absolute delight and waved at him on my way to work this morning, with a smile on my face. Love seeing his positivity shine through."

Another wrote: "What a legend..we were proper belly laughing."

One man said: "He puts everyone in a great mood."

A woman said: "Bless him, he's there most mornings loving his life. We should all be a bit more like him."

Another said: "I was stressing out running late for work, he cheered me right up."

And one added: "He was in Aldi car park last week dancing to pan pipes version of Elton John's Sacrifice. Ace."

But Inspector Andrew Kirkham from North Wales Police said: “Whilst some people found the man’s behaviour humorous, concerns were raised by others. The man was asked to move on, which he did without objection.”
