The people of Scotland very much understand new President of the European Commission—from a that access to the pound sterling as our currency and country smaller than the city of Glasgow? access to that larger UK market benefit them, and they value them, especially the business community. We know Mr Carmichael: I will take absolutely no lectures that, because that is why the nationalists are constantly from the Scottish nationalists on the subject of telling us that even in independence we would still be confrontational approaches. It really is a mark of the able to keep those things. They are wrong; it is cynical; desperation of the position in which they find themselves and as we saw from yesterday’s poll, nobody is really that that is the best they can come up with. being fooled by it.

I have had experience after experience of the number of jobs related to that inward investment talking to foreigners who are not investing in Scotland was decreasing.

PRESENT Councillor P. Prendergast (Chair) Councillors B. Blakeley, Mrs J. Chamberlain-Jones, Mrs E. M. Chard, Ms J. Hughes, A. R. James, Mrs M. McCarroll, Mrs W. M. Mullen-James, S. H. Ratcliffe, A. J. Rutherford, D. Simmons and Miss C. L. Williams. Mr G. J. Nickels - Town Clerk Mr R. A. Hughes – Finance Officer Miss H. J. Windus - Personal Assistant & Secretary 100. APOLOGIES Apologies for non-attendance were received on behalf of Councillors Mrs J. Butterfield MBE (other commitment), Mrs P. M. Jones (family commitment), B. Mellor (indisposed) and Miss R. Siddall (family commitment). 101. RHYL AND PRESTATYN FUNTIME BROCHURE – NORTH EAST WALES BRAND The Mayor and the Town Clerk presented their report (circulated with Agenda) following their meeting with Denbighshire County Council officers in respect of the discontinuation of the above publication along with the Borderlands brochure, and advised that they both raised objections to the move and to the newly designated ‘North East Wales’ tourism area and publication, which would replace both. The Town Clerk added that the decision had been taken by the North Wales Tourism Partnership and not Denbighshire County Council. The Mayor felt that the move would leave Denbighshire’s main tourist spots, including Rhyl and Prestatyn lost amid the larger catchment area, which might have a detrimental effect on the number of visitors attracted to the towns. On behalf of a Member not present, the Town Clerk sought Members’ views on inviting an organisation called ‘British Destinations’ to give a presentation to a future Council meeting to explore any possibilities for Rhyl and Prestatyn with them.
