Plaid Cymru Vale of Clwyd Plaid Cymru - The Party of Wales - Working for the Vale of Clwyd

Plans by Denbighshire County Council to introduce electric charging points in a new car park in Rhyl have been welcomed by Glenn Swingler Plaid Cymru's Parlimentary Candidate in the Vale of Clwyd.

A Denbighshire County Councillor has been selected to stand for Plaid Cymru in the next Vale of Clwyd parliamentary election.

Glenn Swingler, who represents Upper Denbigh and Henllan, said he wants to “put Wales at the heart” of decisions on issues including child poverty, education funding, food banks and the homeless crisis.

Concerns have been raised that some children might lose out on crucial free school meals as the Welsh Government works out new eligibility criteria following the roll out of Universal Credit.

Previously children were entitled to Free School Meals if they came from households that received certain benefits. However Universal Credit aims to combine all benefits into one payment.

Also demands to reinstate cuts to homelessness budget

Plaid Cymru the Party of Wales have hit back at Denbighshire County Council’s ruling cabinet’s statement following the furore about homeless people in Rhyl.

Speaking on behalf of the Plaid Cymru group, Group Leader Cllr Arwel Roberts said: “The Cabinet Member should apologise for the comments saying that people staying in temporary accommodation on the Rhyl Seafront might have a ‘potential negative impact on the tourist and regeneration programmes for the town’. It was unacceptable and she should apologise to those families and individuals.

Plaid Cymru on Denbighshire County Council have called on the ruling Cabinet to be more transparent and less secretive with the Council’s Budget. The party also called for a People’s Budget, and insisted that the public should have a say in the process.

Playgrounds in Denbighshire could become more accessible for disabled children thanks to a drive to increase accessibility in the county.

Plaid Cymru – the Party of Wales are ready in Clwyd West if a snap election is called after selecting a mental health advocate worker from Llanrhaeadr as their Parliamentary Candidate. 

Elfed Williams is a Director for a local advocacy organisation managing teams in Conwy, Denbighshire and Powys that speaks up for people with mental health issues, and is also a Councillor on Llanrhaeadr-yng-Nghinmeirch Community Council.

Denbigh and Ruthin food bank volunteers have banded together to prepare more than 100 festive hampers for local residents.

The Christmas hampers were prepared by volunteers from both food banks, who combine to help the needy throughout the year.

Councillors on Denbighshire County Councillors are seeking assurances that neither the Council nor a new school building project are at risk following speculation that a large Building firm is facing financial difficulties.
