No urgent matters had been raised.
The Leader permitted a statement from Councillor Peter Scott, Chair of the Council.
As Chair of the County Council, Councillor Peter Scott congratulated the Leader, the Council and James Davies, MP in provisionally securing almost £20m for the north of the county from the Levelling Up Fund. Councillor Scott was certain that the residents of Denbighshire would benefit in the future.
The Leader thanked Councillor Scott for his statement and clarified that the funding related to a one-off capital payment for specific projects only which could not be used to address the huge funding gap facing the Council. However, the funding was welcomed, and the Council would be working hard to develop projects in line with the associated conditionalities and maximise the benefit from that funding.
