Conwy councillors will this week be updated on the rollout of “Mosaic” - a system designed to make it easier for social care workers to support residents. The new IT system will also improve the service and how information is shared with other health services.

A former village chapel could be transformed into a furniture workshop. Mr D. Poole has applied to Denbighshire County Council’s planning department, seeking permission to convert the Salem Chapel at Cyffylliog, Ruthin, into a business. The building was formerly a chapel and schoolroom, but its use is now described as "redundant". If granted permission, the building will be used for storage and as a workshop for high-quality furniture restoration.

Council bosses in Denbighshire have agreed to spend an extra £500,000 in a bid to tackle attendance, behaviour and wellbeing in schools. Cabinet members this week agreed to spend the cash, on top of the existing education budget, with a particular focus on supporting children from low-income families. The funding will now be transferred to the education department and will be used to tackle the issues - with the council citing attendance as a priority.
