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.
