RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approves the further development of the Local Growth Fund programme within Denbighshire, and regionally through officer input, in line with the principles set out in the report; (b) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member for Economic Growth and Tackling Deprivation to develop and submit Denbighshire’s priorities for inclusion in the Regional Transition Plan to enable the programme funding to be drawn down; (c) supports the proposal for Gwynedd County Council to continue to act as the lead body within the region for the new Local Growth Fund during this transition period making best use of existing and proven structures and processes; (d) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member for Economic Growth and Tacking Deprivation to finalise and implement a Project Selection process, ensuring that consultation on the draft Project Selection process (Appendix 3 to the report) was first undertaken with elected members as part of the overall reporting process (Appendix 2 to the report), and (e) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 4 to the report) as part of its consideration.
The Leader, Councillor Jason McLellan presented the report detailing the latest position on the new Local Growth Fund (LGF) Programme and sought Cabinet approval to develop the programme, delegate authority to develop and submit Denbighshire’s strategic priorities for inclusion in a Regional Transition Plan, and for Gwynedd County Council to act as lead body for the programme management and delivery in line with Welsh Government Programme Fund requirements. The new LGF would be operational from 1 April 2026 with three years of funding commitment to support regional economic development and growth. Funding would be passed from UK Government to Welsh Government who would allocate it to regions in Wales. For the 2026/27 transition year it was proposed Gwynedd County Council continue to act as regional lead body for the new LGF and then for it to be managed by the Corporate Joint Committee (CJC) from 2027/28. Meeting programme timescales for the transition year would be challenging and a proposed reporting route and project selection process had been developed to support communication and ensure elected members were also involved in the process. The Corporate Director: Environment and Economy, Programme Manager and External Funding Manager attended. The Corporate Director highlighted similarities with recent discussions regarding the Pride in Place Impact Fund and he elaborated on the report recommendations which had been put forward given the challenging timescales in order to respond to the funding programme and deliver projects in Year 1 with further time to consider the process and projects in future years. The regional allocation was £33.78m and not £35.69m as set out in the report. The Leader reiterated the importance of member engagement in the process. Main points of discussion focused on the following – · Cabinet welcomed the additional funding to be spent in Denbighshire to deliver economic growth and noted the detailed selection process and opportunity for all members to be involved with scheduled member briefings · the need for effective communication with the public and residents was highlighted and officers confirmed that communications would be planned to clarify the different funding streams available for specific purposes (separate to the Council’s core funding) together with progress in the delivery of projects · Gwynedd County Council would lead on the regional transition plan for Year 1 and that responsibility would then transfer to the CJC with a new regional plan developed for Years 2 and 3; it was important to ensure Denbighshire’s priorities were represented in both plans to enable funding to be drawn down · the LGF was different to previous UK Government funding programmes in that the funding would be passed to the Welsh Government to allocate directly to regions in Wales providing an opportunity to ensure that funding aligned with priorities in Wales alongside the priorities the UK Government had set · there was sufficient resource in the existing programme management team (Matrix Team) to manage the new funding programme given that some existing funding programmes would be ending in the current year. However, such funding programmes did put pressure on internal capacity and should be included as an identified risk for this item and future items of this nature · reiterated the tight timescales for the funding programme, particularly in Year 1 and whilst there would be a further transition in terms of the CJC managing the programme the expectation was there would be more time for member engagement for Years 2 and 3 and discussions were already underway in that regard. The Leader highlighted the need for timely communications from the CJC to all members regarding those arrangements going forward. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approves the further development of the Local Growth Fund programme within Denbighshire, and regionally through officer input, in line with the principles set out in the report; (b) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member for Economic Growth and Tackling Deprivation to develop and submit Denbighshire’s priorities for inclusion in the Regional Transition Plan to enable the programme funding to be drawn down; (c) supports the proposal for Gwynedd County Council to continue to act as the lead body within the region for the new Local Growth Fund during this transition period making best use of existing and proven structures and processes; (d) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member for Economic Growth and Tacking Deprivation to finalise and implement a Project Selection process, ensuring that consultation on the draft Project Selection process (Appendix 3 to the report) was first undertaken with elected members as part of the overall reporting process (Appendix 2 to the report), and (e) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 4 to the report) as part of its consideration.

RESOLVED that – (a) following consultation with providers, Cabinet agree the fee rates as per Table 1 (paragraph 4.1) of the report which have been communicated to providers; (b) Cabinet agrees to only automatically uplift those providers who currently accept the indicative fee rate and ask any other providers charging above the new indicative fee rate to engage in an open book exercise to determine the true cost of care using the Care Cubed methodology; (c) Cabinet agrees the continued approach to build and maintain positive and constructive relationships with providers to support the delivery of good quality care in Denbighshire. Supporting the Council’s responsibility to deliver a fair price for care and be the steward of the public purse, securing the best value for the taxpayer, whilst ensuring a sustainable social care service for the future, and (d) Cabinet agrees that from 2027/2028 all care fee setting will be completed using the Care Cubed methodology which will allow the Council to negotiate in an open and transparent way a fair price for care based on a bespoke individual provider agreement.
Councillor Elen Heaton presented the report regarding the proposed care fee setting methodology for residential and nursing care homes and sought Cabinet approval of that approach and the proposed fee rates for 2026/27. An estimated £16.1m would be spent on care homes fees during 2026/27 to fund 355 placements in 85 homes. The proposed fees had taken account of factors such as the Real Living Wage, Consumer Price Index and increased Statutory Sick Pay. The intention was to automatically uplift those providers accepting the indicative care fee rate or who fell below it, up to the new rate. All other providers would be encouraged to engage in an open book exercise via Care Cubed, which was a data-driven methodology providing a consistent and evidence-based approach to fee setting. This method allowed the Council to understand how public money was being spent by providers to ensure that care fees were fair, equitable and delivered best value for money. All providers had been consulted on the proposals. The Head of Adult Social Care and Homelessness and Service Manager Support Services attended for this item. The Head of Service added that the uplift averaging 6.5% - 6.8% was a fair offer and the use of Care Cubed meant the Council could work with providers to gauge the actual cost of care based on an individual basis. Officers responded to questions, advising that Care Cubed was a nationally recognised methodology in which all North Wales local authorities had invested. It provided an evidence-based and transparent way of calculating the true cost of care taking into account the differences in providers such as size of the care home, staffing, etc. in order to make an informed judgement and negotiate an appropriate rate. The Council had a duty to ensure best value for money and a sustainable care market. An open book exercise had routinely been offered to providers if they considered the uplift would not cover their costs and there was no reason for providers not to take up the offer as a basis for fee negotiation. There was sufficient capacity to undertake assessments in a timely manner although some negotiations could take longer than others depending on the complexity of those discussions. Most care home providers were willing to engage with the Council but not all. Cabinet noted that the uplift offer had taken into account all necessary increases as detailed in the report to ensure it was fair and welcomed the Care Cubed methodology as a clear means of taking into account individual circumstances to calculate the true cost of care together with the involvement of all North Wales local authorities which provided a regional approach and local benchmarks. RESOLVED that – (a) following consultation with providers, Cabinet agree the fee rates as per Table 1 (paragraph 4.1) of the report which have been communicated to providers; (b) Cabinet agrees to only automatically uplift those providers who currently accept the indicative fee rate and ask any other providers charging above the new indicative fee rate to engage in an open book exercise to determine the true cost of care using the Care Cubed methodology; (c) Cabinet agrees the continued approach to build and maintain positive and constructive relationships with providers to support the delivery of good quality care in Denbighshire. Supporting the Council’s responsibility to deliver a fair price for care and be the steward of the public purse, securing the best value for the taxpayer, whilst ensuring a sustainable social care service for the future, and (d) Cabinet agrees that from 2027/2028 all care fee setting will be completed using the Care Cubed methodology which will allow the Council to negotiate in an open and transparent way a fair price for care based on a bespoke individual provider agreement.

RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) authorises Denbighshire County Council to enter into a legal Agreement, known as a Regional Collaboration Agreement (Appendix 1 to the report) between Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) and the other six North Wales Local Authorities to regulate the rights and obligations of all partners, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Elen Heaton presented the report seeking Cabinet approval to develop and execute a Regional Collaboration Agreement between all six North Wales Local Authorities and the Local Health Board to establish a framework to govern their respective rights and obligations for the placements of adults in a care home. The report detailed the legal provisions and guidance for partnership arrangements between local authorities and local health boards and the benefits of an integrated approach. Regional Partnership Boards (RPB) were responsible for driving this integration and as Denbighshire County Council hosted the RPB they would act as lead commissioner for regional contracts. The agreement would provide a clear legal framework to support the way partners already operated in the region. The Monitoring Officer responded to questions regarding various clauses within the agreement confirming that dispute resolution was a standard provision providing a formal process in the event of a dispute, similarly force majeure where partners would not be in breach of the agreement if they could not comply due to matters beyond reasonable control. The Head of Adult Social Care and Homelessness advised that the Health Board had been integral to discussions on the agreement. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) authorises Denbighshire County Council to enter into a legal Agreement, known as a Regional Collaboration Agreement (Appendix 1 to the report) between Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) and the other six North Wales Local Authorities to regulate the rights and obligations of all partners, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.

RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approves Denbighshire County Council (DCC) acting as the Lead Body / Lead Commissioner for the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the renewal of the Agreement and approves DCC Procurement Department leading on the ITT exercise to ensure that due process was followed; (b) approves that the award of Contracts is made under the Delegated Decision process rather than coming back to Cabinet, and (c) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) and the Commissioning Form (Appendix 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Elen Heaton presented the joint report with Councillor Diane King seeking Cabinet approval of Denbighshire County Council acting as the lead body / lead commissioner (on behalf of the six local authority partners and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board) for the Invitation to Tender for the renewal of the Agreement and for the award of contracts via the Delegated Decision process. The current Supported Living Agreement was due to end on 31 March 2027 and was essentially the mechanism that allowed supported living services to be commissioned in a way that was legally compliant, efficient and sustainable. It was an area of growing demand and it was vitally important the right framework was in place to secure high quality provision going forward. The Head of Adult Social Care and Homelessness explained the process for commissioning via the framework and confirmed it was a key area of development to keep people within the community with appropriate support. The Agreement covered adults and children’s services. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approves Denbighshire County Council (DCC) acting as the Lead Body / Lead Commissioner for the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the renewal of the Agreement and approves DCC Procurement Department leading on the ITT exercise to ensure that due process was followed; (b) approves that the award of Contracts is made under the Delegated Decision process rather than coming back to Cabinet, and (c) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) and the Commissioning Form (Appendix 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.

RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) agrees to reduce the quorum of the Joint Committee to 40%, with at least 3 regional areas represented, and (b) authorises the entry into and signing of the Deed of Variation to enable this.
Councillor Diane King presented the report seeking Cabinet agreement to a Deed of Variation to amend the quoracy requirements for the National Joint Committee meetings in respect of the National Adoption Service and Foster Wales. The Head of Children’s Services also attended for this item. Some background was provided to the National Adoption Service and Foster Wales and the subsequent establishment of the National Joint Committee (NJC) by agreement at Cabinet/Council of each 22 Welsh local authorities. Membership of the NJC together with current quorum requirements (60% of voting members) and difficulties in meeting that quorum despite best efforts were set out and it was unlikely that quorum would be reached for future meetings. Consultation had resulted in a proposed quoracy level of 40% of voting members, with representation from at least 3 regional areas. The process to implement a revised quorum had been detailed and required a decision by Cabinet or other appropriate meeting of each local authority authorising the revision and the signing of a Deed of Variation. In response to questions, Cabinet heard that whilst all parties were committed it had not been possible to find a suitable meeting date across all 22 local authorities and details were provided of the other groups and work underpinning the NJC facilitating the flow of information between them which included both regional and national working. The wider structure provided broad representation and that whilst there may not be full representation at the NJC at a particular meeting there would be over time. It was noted that there was good engagement by all constituent bodies who were supportive of the change. Given the difficulties in achieving the current quorum requirements Cabinet agreed that reducing the quorum as set out provided a pragmatic approach to ensure effective governance moving forward. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) agrees to reduce the quorum of the Joint Committee to 40%, with at least 3 regional areas represented, and (b) authorises the entry into and signing of the Deed of Variation to enable this.

RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the adoption of the Denbighshire County Council’s Community Asset Transfer Policy 2026, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 3 to the report) as part of its consideration. At this point (11.30 am) the meeting adjourned for a refreshment break.
Councillor Julie Matthews presented the draft Community Asset Transfer Policy 2026 for Cabinet’s consideration and approval and the supporting flow diagram. Community Asset Transfer (CAT) occurred when a public sector body passed the management or ownership of a property asset to a City, Town or Community Council, a third sector or a community not for profit organisation. Transferring surplus council assets to eligible organisations could improve council efficiency and support stronger, more sustainable local community organisations. The Council had carried out a number of such transfers under existing legislation and the policy aimed to formalise the process to ensure a transparent, consistent and sustainable approach to such decisions. Only assets formally declared surplus would be considered for transfer to eligible organisations. The policy offered three pathways: short term licence to occupy, long-term leasehold transfer and freehold transfer. The Head of Corporate Support Service: Performance, Digital and Assets, Strategic Assets Service Manager Property, and Facilities and Assets Team Manager attended, providing an overview of the report including the benefits of the policy and elaborated on the five stages of the CAT process detailed in the flow diagram. The following matters were raised during the ensuing debate – · Councillor Emrys Wynne sought assurance regarding the continued use of Welsh Language policies following asset transfers and officers agreed to include reference to a supporting statement in the business case in relation to the Welsh Language and Culture and promote that aim going forward. There was also some discussion as to whether that amendment would warrant changing the overall impact from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Positive’ in the Wellbeing Impact Assessment wellbeing goal ‘A Denbighshire of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language’ and the Lead Member and Head of Service agreed to review the position · support for organisations interested in a community asset transfer was available internally and externally depending on the organisation with the Council having a City, Town and Community Council (CCTC) Liaison Officer and external professional bodies such as One Voice Wales for CCTCs, and the Council’s Community Resilience Team provided support to third sector and community not for profit organisations and external support from bodies such as Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council, and those connections would be encouraged · the specific use and purpose of transferred assets would be discussed and agreed beforehand and specific user clauses would be used to ensure the asset was safeguarded for the future, used for their correct purpose and not misused. Cabinet welcomed the policy to provide clarity and guidance on the CAT process setting out what was required and members were also pleased to note the support available to potential applicants. The Leader appreciated the early engagement with local members as part of the process together with the role of the Asset Management Group which also had member involvement. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the adoption of the Denbighshire County Council’s Community Asset Transfer Policy 2026, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 3 to the report) as part of its consideration. At this point (11.30 am) the meeting adjourned for a refreshment break.

Councillor Delyth Jones presented the finance report for 2025/26 detailing the latest financial position and progress against the agreed budget strategy. A summary of the Council’s financial position was provided as follows – · the net revenue budget for 2025/26 was £290.735m (£271.021m in 2024/25) · an underspend of £2.525m (previously £1.882m underspend) was forecast for service and corporate budgets with the movement (£643k) mainly due to release of corporate contingency offset by pressures in Adult Social Care · current risks and assumptions relating to corporate budgets and service areas · an update on Schools, Housing Revenue Account, and Treasury Management. The Lead Member guided members through the report detail with particular reference to variances within service and corporate budgets including the volatility of the budget situation within social care and education and children’s services. Discussions continued with schools to support the work required to reduce the reliance on balances moving forward with a forecasted net debit balance of £5.1m. Cabinet was also asked to approve the set-aside of £500k in an earmarked reserve to be used to help mitigate the risks relating to Council Tax arrears; the spending plan for the Natural Flood Management Scheme and Small Scale Flood Alleviation Scheme which had been approved by the Capital Scrutiny Group, and the write off of irrecoverable Business Rates whose bad debts were met by the National Pool. The Head of Finance and Audit advised that in line with usual practice the next finance report to Cabinet would be in June to report the final outturn position. She also elaborated further on the recommendations contained within the report. In response to questions the Head of Service detailed the process for business rates which were collected locally with all monies going into the National Pool which was subsequently redistributed to local authorities based on population. Councillor Julie Matthews highlighted the two spending plans for flood alleviation schemes as positive news for those residents affected and it was agreed that local members be made aware of the position so they could share information directly with residents. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) note the budgets set for 2025/26 and progress against the agreed strategy; (b) approve the creation of a Council Tax reserve as detailed in section 6.1 of the report; (c) approve the spending plan for the Natural Flood Management Scheme and Small Scale Flood Alleviation Scheme as detailed in section 6.8 of the report and Appendix 4a and 4b to the report, and (d) approve the write off of irrecoverable Business Rates (funded by the national pool) as detailed in section 6.9 of the report and Appendix 5 to the report.
