That Denbighshire County Council will add its name to the growing list of supporting organisations and will proactively highlight the campaign to our residents across the County. Members ask that Denbighshire County Council writes to both the UK and Welsh Government supporting the call for urgent action on this matter.” 10 NOTICE OF MOTION Notice of Motion put forward by Councillor Graham Timms for consideration by Full Council: “This council asks the Corporate Governance Committee to consider options and present a report to the Full Council on 19th February, 2019 which outlines how the constitution could be changed to remove the requirement for political balance in the Cabinet.” 11 NOTICE OF MOTION Notice of Motion put forward by Councillor Mabon ap Gwynfor for consideration by Full Council: “This Council notes: The Welsh Government’s Brexit and Our Land White Paper and subsequent consultation; The proposals within the paper to scrap Basic Payments for farmers; That basic payments make up some 80% of livestock farmers income; That agriculture industry continues to be a substantial employer, both directly and indirectly, in Denbighshire; That the Welsh Government’s proposals could lead to other landowners (e.g. third sector organisations, forestry companies, extremely wealthy individuals or organisations) being able to access the limited amount of public funds currently available to farmers; Previous Government proposals regarding farm payments have been accompanied by detailed and thorough economic impact assessments. This Council expresses concern that the Brexit and Our Land White Paper provides no modelling or assessments of how the proposed changes will impact on neither the local or the national economy. This Council is concerned that the proposed changes could have a negative impact on the economy of Denbighshire. This Council believes that no changes to farm payments should be introduced until thorough and detailed impact assessments are provided on the potential economic impact of their proposals. This Council calls on the Cabinet Member with responsibility for the Economy to make representations in response to the Consultation opposing the proposals until the Welsh Government produce a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the potential impact to jobs and the economy in Denbighshire.” 12 COUNTY COUNCIL FORWARD WORK PROGRAMME (Pages 275 - 278) To consider the Council’s forward work programme (copy attached).

  • North Wales Metro Bus Integration Phase 1: Current State Assessment
    Transport for Wales North Wales Metro Bus Integration Phase 1: Current State Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 15th July 2020 North Wales Metro Bus Integration Phase 1: Current State Assessment Report Executive Summary Current State Assessment The preliminary study of the current bus system has focused on bus passengers’ perspectives and on the performance of elements of the overall bus system as outlined in Figure 1. Bus Users: Enhancing services for existing passengers and attracting additional passengers are key objectives. It should be recognised that non-bus users are far more numerous than bus users and attracting them to use buses will require more than a Business-as-Usual R approach. Bus System Components: Bus services are made up of a range of components parts – all of A which need to interact and combine to create a holistic ‘offer’ to passengers. A Cross-cutting Themes: All of the components will need to be improved to contribute to addressing the North Wales Metro aspirations of Integration, Innovation, and A Decarbonisation. Stakeholder engagement will also be a key theme in developing the North R Wales Metro programme. A For the purposes of this preliminary review, a qualitative summary assessment of the current state of the bus system elements in North Wales is indicated on a Red, Amber or Green (RAG) A scale (based on a qualitative comparison with best practice examples elsewhere in the UK and overseas). R Not in line with best practice. Significant change required to improve bus R services and address cross-cutting themes. Minor improvement needed, or significant change in a defined area to meet A best practice.

    Memorandum on the Economy and Transport Draft Budget Proposals for 2020-21 Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee – 9 January 2020 1.0 Introduction This paper provides information on the Economy & Transport (E&T) budget proposals as outlined in the 2020-21 Draft Budget published on 16 December 2019. It also provides an update on specific areas of interest to the Committee. 2.0 Strategic Context Aligned to Prosperity for All and the Well Being and Future Generations Act, the Economic Action Plan, is the guiding policy and strategy document for all of Welsh Government’s activities. The 2020-21 plan builds on the considerable progress in implementing and embedding key elements of the plan, involving engagement with a range of stakeholders, particularly the business community and social partners. The new Wales Transport strategy, which will replace One Wales: Connecting the Nation, will set out the vision to empower people in Wales to move around affordably and conveniently and in ways that impacts positively on their health and their environment, by providing a transport network fit for the future. In 2020-21 the funding decisions will progress Welsh Government’s ambitions for a more equal Wales, a more prosperous Wales and a greener Wales. The 100 policies and proposals set out in Prosperity for All: A Low Carbon Wales have also shaped the additional investment. Our longer term plan will deliver a truly sustainable transport system that protects and improves health and well-being. Our Employability Delivery Plan for Wales will continue to reshape employability support both for people who are job-ready and those who are furthest from the labour market.
