Happy New Year
December was partly business, partly celebration and partly time with family and friends. Earlier in the month I met with senior police officers to be briefed about their priorities for Denbighshire and their plans for managing their properties. We discussed how we might share buildings and facilities to save on costs.
The Leader and I hosted meetings with businesses in Prestatyn and Rhyl to discuss how the council can help, particularly in the current difficult economic times. In Prestatyn, businesses are concerned to ensure that the town developments are managed as smoothly as possible. In Rhyl, businesses wanted to discuss the council’s strategy for regenerating the town and also the impact of the Rhyl market.
I attended the meeting of Llandyrnog Community Council to discuss a number of issues, ranging from road works and gritting to health and safety and the look and feel of the village.
We had the Denbighshire Carol Service at St Asaph Cathedral. The Cathedral was full and the children from our schools were the stars of the night with their brilliant singing and display of musical talents.
I had a week off and spent the time inLondon. We wanted a quiet Christmas and New Year and spent the time reading, eating and watching movies. I read and enjoyed ‘The Sisters Brothers’ and on New Year’s eve we went to the cinema and watched the new Mission Impossible film with Tom Cruise. I can’t tell you what it was about because it didn’t really have a plot, but it was good escapism!
