Page 7 The Pimms and Pictures evening held on 27/07/2012 had raised £1500 for St. Kentigerns Hospice. 5 MINUTES The minutes of the Council meeting held on 10 th July 2012 were submitted. Accuracy:- Item No. 6, Page 9 – Councillor Alice Jones requested an amendment be made to the section “Update of Denbighshire Local Development Plan”. Councillor Jones had stated that Councillor Joan Butterfield had referred to a letter circulated to Councillors by Bodelwyddan Town Council in which Councillor Butterfield felt it suggested that “”some wrong doing” was being done by Denbighshire County Council. Councillor Butterfield did not refer to “incorrect processes” as was recorded in the minutes. Councillor Jones clarified that in response to Councillor Butterfield, she had stated she had no input into the letter and had not therefore stated that Council had done anything wrong. This was in the context of commenting on the letter. Councillor Jones stated she was not putting forward her personal views or opinion and the interpretation of “wrong doing” as “incorrect processes” in the minutes did not accord with the statement she made. Councillor Jones also stated if Councillor Butterfield had mentioned “incorrect processes” it would have prompted her to give an alternative response. Councillor Jones requested that due to her statement being misinterpreted, the Council accept her version and explanation and correct the inaccuracy by amending the minutes accordingly. RESOLVED that subject to the above, the minutes of Council meeting held on 10 th July 2012 were confirmed as a correct record. 6 NHS SERVICE REVIEWS The Corporate Director: Demographics, Wellbeing and Planning (CD:DWP) presented a report (previously circulated) that sought Council’s input to the draft response to Betsi Cadwaladr UHB Service Reviews consultation process.
