  • Well-Being Plan 2018
    Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board: Well-being Plan 2018 - 2023 Technical Document A summary version of this document is also available Foreword I am pleased, on behalf of partners on the Conwy & Denbighshire Public Services Board (PSB), to introduce this Local Well-being Plan for our two counties. It is the culmination of work that began in April 2016, and represents our conclusions on what we feel are the key areas that pose the greatest need or challenge for our communities, and where we feel the PSB can make the greatest contribution without duplicating good work already taking place within existing partnerships and organisations. In this technical document we have outlined some of the highlights from our local assessment of well-being (which is available to view online here) and the conversations that we have had with our communities and stakeholders in the development of this Local Well-being Plan. We have then outlined the priorities the PSB will focus on to help address the issues that we have identified. This technical document is supported by a summary version of the plan. A lot of work has already taken place to get us to this point, but this is only the start of the PSB’s journey. This Local Well-being Plan is an outline of what it is we would like to achieve, but there is more work to be done to develop our programme of work, and we would welcome your input into this as part of our ongoing conversation with our communities. If you would like to be kept informed of our work, get involved or provide feedback to us, please see our contact details on the last page of this document.

    Protecting the Water Vole Conservation efforts in the Clwydian Range Where the hills meet the sea Countryside a stone’s throw away from the coast A Guide to the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Welcome to ‘Capturing the Clwydian Range’ Welcome to the latest edition of Capturing the Clwydian Range, the definitive guide for those looking to learn more about the history, attractions and beauty of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The AONB stretches from its northern edge at Prestatyn, down the spine of Flintshire and Denbighshire to the outskirts of Ruthin and Mold, taking in numerous countryside communities that all add a unique quality to the Clwydian Range. The hills can be seen from far and wide, from the North West of Wales and from the Cheshire Plains and the populated areas of Wirral and Merseyside. It’s not a surprise that over half a million of visitors make the journey to the Clwydian Range for that special day out or a holiday in one of Wales’ most naturally scenic areas. There are many organisations involved in managing and protecting the Clwydian Range for future generations. The hills are steeped in history, rich geology and wildlife which needs protecting. This cannot be done without the support of local landowners, businesses, visitors and volunteers. So what is there to do and see in the Clwydian Range? For a start there are country parks at Loggerheads and Moel Famau that offer miles upon miles of interesting walks, activities for the whole family and contents opportunities for volunteering.

The results of the 2011 Census show that 22,236 people in Denbighshire can speak Welsh, which equates to 24.6% of the population. The total number of Welsh speakers in 2011 was 23,760, which is 26.4% of the population. Over a ten year period there has been a drop of 1,524 in the number and 1.8% in the percentage of Welsh speakers in the county. 2. The geographical distribution of Welsh speakers in Denbighshire is slightly more even than in Conwy County. The 2011 Census data shows that the highest percentages of Welsh speakers are found in the south-west of the county, in the electoral wards of Llandrillo (59.2%), Efenechtyd (53.7%), Llanrhaeadr yng Nghynmeirch (50.0%) and Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd (48.3%). 3.
