RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
Mr Mark Hughes (People and Places Team Leader - Natural Resources Wales (NRW)), provided an update on NRW’s contribution and commitment to the work of the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board (PSB) and the benefits to the organisation of being a member of the PSB. Members were reminded that the Joint Committee could only scrutinise NRW in respect of their work and contribution on and to the PSB and not any issues wider than that. Reference was made to the following: • NRW had contributed significantly to the work of the PSB over recent years and valued the partnership. • The strategic input from stakeholders had helped significantly in driving a collective action and understanding. • From an NRW perspective, climate change was seen as one of the biggest drivers across the public sector, together with the cost of living crisis. NRW was keen to build an understanding amongst the PSB partners regarding the risks and drive forward conversations regarding System Thinking. • Building a collective understanding of the nature emergency and developing links to the Well-being Plan was highlighted. It was noted that NRW’s Corporate Plan had similarities to that of the PSB Well-Being Plan. • NRW had adopted the Active Travel Charter. • Partnership working with the Co-production Network for Wales and the Clwyd River Forum had proved beneficial. • Looking at small geographical areas and building an understanding amongst partners of the integrated issues faced was considered an option. Members thanked Mr Hughes for an informative update and went on to discuss the following: • Concern was expressed regarding the water quality in Conwy and Denbighshire, following recent reports of Welsh Water spilling untreated sewage into the environment. Members were informed that partners were working with Welsh Water on innovative solutions and should Members require further information, Mr Hughes would be happy to signpost Members to colleagues at Welsh Water. • How to create a greater understanding of the challenges faced and bring on-board those who deny climate/nature change. Members were informed that NRW assisted partners, particularly those in higher education, by providing educational material to enable them to build climate and nature matters into their course material/curriculum. Providing a course and/or material to Elected Members to assist with educating communities was suggested. The People and Places Team Leader agreed to explore the potential of this suggestion further with colleagues at NRW. RESOLVED: That the update be noted.

RESOLVED: That the progress made against the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board Well-being Plan to date be acknowledged.
The Leader of Denbighshire County Council, who was also the Chair of the Public Services Board (PSB), Councillor Jason McLellan, presented members with a report, which highlighted the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board progress against the Well-being Plan to date. The Chair took the opportunity to thank all PSB partners who contribute to the delivery of the Well-being Plan. Discussion arose regarding the following: · Opportunities for Trade Unions and social enterprises to work alongside the PSB. The Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager (Conwy) advised that, whilst interaction and engagement with Trade Unions across both Local Authorities was good, there was not a specific role for Trade Unions or social enterprises on the PSB as legislation governed the membership of statutory partners. However, shared learning was welcomed and ‘other’ organisations could feed into the wider objectives of the PSB and Well-being Plan. In addition, the Strategic Planning and Performance Team Leader for Denbighshire County Council advised that the Local Government Elections (Wales) Act bound Local Authorities to engage with Trade Unions. · In respect of social enterprise involvement, the community project in Pensarn was considered a good example of engaging with other organisations within the community. · Members were informed that a meeting with Rebecca Evans, Minister for Finance and Local Government and the PSB Chairs was taking place shortly. This was seen as a great opportunity to network and share best practice. RESOLVED: That the progress made against the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board Well-being Plan to date be acknowledged.
