RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) supports the proposals outlined in the Medium-Term Financial Plan (MTFP) 2026/27 – 2028/29 (Appendix 1 to the report), detailed in Section 4 of the report, in order to set the budget for 2026/27; (b) approves the Council Tax rise of 4.76% for council services plus an additional 0.46% for the increase in the Fire levy as set by the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority; this equates to an overall uplift of 5.22% proposed (paragraph 4.5 of the report); (c) supports the strategy for use of reserves as set out in paragraph 4.6 of the report, and (d) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Cumulative Well-being Impact Assessment as set out in Section 7 of the report.
Councillor Delyth Jones presented the report setting out the impact of the Welsh Government’s Final Settlement for Local Government 2026/27 and proposals to set a balanced budget for 2026/27, including the level of Council Tax. The financial challenges facing the council, along with all other local authorities, was reiterated and reference was made to the continual budget setting process and robust consultation and engagement. Councillor Jones thanked members and officers for their contributions to that process and was pleased to present a balanced budget which met statutory requirements and other important elements of the Council’s work, recognised additional pressures relating to Additional Learning Needs and capacity in the Planning and Public Protection Service, did not involve cuts or reduction to services, and kept Council Tax as low as possible. Cabinet was given a comprehensive overview of the proposals for consideration and recommendation to full Council in order to set the budget for 2026/27. The context of the budget setting for local government was explained together with the implications of the final settlement on the budget proposals. In brief, the increase in settlement was welcomed but it did not resolve the financial challenges in setting a balanced budget in 2026/27, which would still require measures to fill the funding gap, including an increase in the level of Council Tax. The proposals to balance the 2026/27 budget had been shown in the Medium-Term Financial Plan (Appendix 1 to the report) which included the budget pressures (£21.341m) and measures being taken to achieve a balanced budget (£3.170m). The proposals did not include cuts or reductions to services but focused on efficiencies, income generation and transformation projects. A Council Tax rise of 4.76% plus an additional 0.46% for the increase in the levy to North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority equating to an overall uplift of 5.22% was proposed to generate £3.513m additional yield in 2026/27. The schools’ position was set out with a total funding increase of 4.93% with no reductions to budgets (other than demography). In closing, the Lead Member thanked the Head of Finance and Audit and her team for their work. The Head of Finance and Audit also thanked those who had engaged in the budget process. She highlighted some key points including the prudent management of financial challenges and pressures based on latest forecasts. Financial projections and funding assumptions for future years remained challenging and needed to be taken into account. There were risks around the transformation programme with some projects categorised as amber and mitigation measures were in place. Cabinet paid tribute to the work of the Lead Member, Head of Finance and Audit and her team and work carried out across council services and with fellow members on the budget setting process, recognising the hard work, engagement and contributions to that process in order to set a balanced budget. Despite the sustained and acute pressures faced by local authorities over a number of years, the budget proposals did not involve cuts or reductions to services and set a Council Tax level as low as possible, which was considered testament to the Council’s approach, careful planning and difficult decisions taken in previous years. Cabinet raised questions and discussed further elements of the budget as follows – · balancing the delivery of services against the affordability of Council Tax (CT) was a difficult process and the impact of the different levels of CT set on the budget and services was explained, with a CT sensitivity analysis included within the report. Cabinet was comfortable with the proposed CT level which maintained service levels and noted that the CT Reduction Scheme was in place to help those residents on low income or claiming benefits · public perception that residents were paying more for less services was raised given the need to prioritise funding for statutory services over more visible placemaking services valued by communities, and the importance of ongoing work to communicate information to residents through social media and infographics/leaflets was highlighted, with councillors also having a role in being upfront and explaining the financial situation to residents · the settlement funding formula was based on need and underlying data sets including pupil numbers and free school meals data, and there were also regulations governing how the Council set funding for schools. There would be an increase of 4.93% in schools funding but pressures remained, including Additional Learning Needs support hence the allocation of an extra £1.7m. The impact of demography on schools budgets was also explained with the secondary sector remaining static but a reduction in pupil numbers in the primary sector. There was a process for schools in financial difficulty · unearmarked reserves at £6.6m equated to 2.14% of the net revenue budget for 2026/27 at £309m and the amount had increased during 2025/26 by £1m following receipt of additional funding from Welsh Government towards National Insurance contributions after the budget had been set. There was no set level of reserve held which was a matter of judgement for councils. The difficulties in putting extra funding into reserves when there was such a need for services was recognised and a balance was required but the aim was to continue to increase the level of unearmarked reserves over the medium term where possible · the Cumulative Impact Assessment was discussed and whilst no services would be cut and no huge increase in Council Tax was proposed there would still be an impact with a new recommendation to progress early, proactive engagement with communities in developing solutions to support proposals. This recommendation was considered vital and assurances were provided regarding consultation and engagement with communities as much as possible and with City, Town and Community Councils to further develop those relationships. At this point the Leader opened up the debate to non-Cabinet members. Councillor Gareth Sandilands welcomed the increase in the final settlement and highlighted the importance of proactively engaging and listening to residents; he also raised questions regarding sufficiency of future pay awards and the recruitment strategy. Councillor Bobby Feeley voiced concerns over service cuts and savings measures taken by the Council in previous years to deliver a balanced budget and queried whether a radical fresh new look on Council spending was required. The Lead Member, Leader and Head of Finance and Audit responded to the issues raised, and subsequent follow up questions and comments, as follows – · detailed the recruitment process which involved careful and robust evaluation at senior level of all vacant and potentially new posts prior to approvals given · the HR Department held regular meetings with Trade Union representatives on all matters relating to employee relations and there was good positive dialogue on the budget position with early sight of cuts in previous years · staff pay awards for April 2026 and teachers pay awards for September 2026 had been forecast based on comparisons of economic forecasts and other councils and the Head of Finance was satisfied with pay provision for next year · the cumulative impact of four consecutive years of budget pressures in excess of £20m was highlighted with very difficult decisions having to be made in order to deliver a balanced budget with all local authorities facing similar challenges · the impact of 65% of the budget spend on statutory services was highlighted and those services were vital for children and the most vulnerable in society and must be provided despite escalating costs and demand · the Council was proactively working on the transformation programme with £1.1m allocated to the first tranche of transformation projects to address key areas including work to develop a children’s home, recruit more in-house foster carers and review of care packages. However, transformation did take time · the importance of continuing to lobby the UK and Welsh Governments in terms of the quantum of funding provided and work of the Welsh Local Government Association in that regard was also highlighted. The Chief Executive highlighted the difficult process in setting a balanced budget, particularly given the complexity and demand on services, but had been impressed by the hard work of services across the authority and in the budget setting process. Focus was now on delivery and driving forward the transformation programme. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) supports the proposals outlined in the Medium-Term Financial Plan (MTFP) 2026/27 – 2028/29 (Appendix 1 to the report), detailed in Section 4 of the report, in order to set the budget for 2026/27; (b) approves the Council Tax rise of 4.76% for council services plus an additional 0.46% for the increase in the Fire levy as set by the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority; this equates to an overall uplift of 5.22% proposed (paragraph 4.5 of the report); (c) supports the strategy for use of reserves as set out in paragraph 4.6 of the report, and (d) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Cumulative Well-being Impact Assessment as set out in Section 7 of the report.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) confirm that the agreed process has been applied and endorse the project selection to be submitted for PiPIF funding as set out in paragraph 5.2 of the report and Appendix 2 to the report; (b) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member to i) ensure that the required reporting information to secure the PiPIF funding for projects in Denbighshire is submitted by the deadline of 16 February 2026 and ii) to make any required amendments to allocations in line with the Council’s Financial Regulations and in compliance with the UK Government’s requirements, (c) agrees that the decision must be implemented immediately in accordance with the provisions of section 7.25 of the Council’s Constitution and will not be subject to Call-In for the reasons set out in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 of the report, and (d) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 3 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Jason McLellan presented the report seeking Cabinet’s endorsement of the projects to be submitted for funding, and delegation of authority to submit the information to secure the funding and make any amendments to allocations in line with the Council’s financial regulations and UK Government’s requirements. The Corporate Director: Environment and Economy, Programme Manager and External Funding Manager attended for this item. The Pride in Place Impact Fund (PiPIF) provided £1.5m capital funding to local authorities in Wales to deliver visible improvements to high streets and improve places and spaces of community value, particularly in areas not benefitting from the separate Pride in Place Fund. Cabinet had endorsed a process to select projects for the PiPIF in December 2025 and requested a report back on the outcome to ensure transparency around the process. The approach focused on aligning funding with projects that already had corporate support but no identified funding, met PiPIF criteria, were affordable and deliverable by March 2027. Details of the application of the selection process and the proposed 5 candidate projects had been set out in the report. It was recognised there were more projects listed than available PiPIF funding and those projects would continue to be developed in readiness for future funding opportunities. Given the project selection deadline was 16 February 2026 Cabinet was asked to agree the decision must be implemented immediately and not be subject to call-in. The Leader recognised the work of the Capital Scrutiny Group in scrutinising such projects and thanked members for attending the subsequent workshop which explained the selection process in more detail and provided Members with the opportunity to ask questions about both the process and proposed candidate projects. Cabinet welcomed the additional investment in capital schemes across the county which would be used proactively with a positive impact on communities. The tight timescales to manage the project selection was recognised but member engagement in this and future discussions was welcomed. Cabinet also thanked officers for their hard work in progressing the selection process in a short period of time in order to meet the deadline to secure the funding for the projects. Attention was drawn to the significant amount of grant funding secured by the Council to invest in the county including millions in sea defence and town improvement works. Officers responded to comments and questions as follows – · Denbigh had not been included in the refurbishment scheme for public toilets as an agreement was not currently in place to keep the toilets open after 31 March 2026. However, officers were willing to continue discussions with stakeholders with a view to finding a solution to retaining toilet facilities in Denbigh · Bodelwyddan Country Park was a successful Shared Prosperity Funded project but unfortunately there was insufficient funding to deliver toilets as part of that project and a scheme was now proposed to provide those toilet facilities which would be managed by Countryside Services as part of the overall project with an aspiration to install contactless payment in order to be sustainable going forward · in terms of the deliverability timescales there was provision in the financial regulations attached to the grant for there to be some element of spend beyond the end of the financial year where payments were already committed; projects had been selected based on a level of confidence they could be delivered in the financial year and that provision provided mitigation to manage the risks associated with delays to project delivery should there be an overrun · whilst the Coronation Gardens Changing Rooms project had not been included in the proposed list of projects for this fund work would continue to support that project and there was a level of confidence that funding would be sourced to progress it · the PiPIF grant would fund the installation of the contactless payment system reducing the need to call on the Council’s capital plan funding and would also include refurbishment of the toilets. Work to install the payment system was in the planning phase and the refurbishment work would be planned alongside that. The Corporate Director agreed to ascertain further detail from the service as to those toilet facilities and when work would take place and provide a briefing note to members thereon. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) confirm that the agreed process has been applied and endorse the project selection to be submitted for PiPIF funding as set out in paragraph 5.2 of the report and Appendix 2 to the report; (b) delegates authority to the Corporate Director: Environment and Economy and the Lead Member to i) ensure that the required reporting information to secure the PiPIF funding for projects in Denbighshire is submitted by the deadline of 16 February 2026 and ii) to make any required amendments to allocations in line with the Council’s Financial Regulations and in compliance with the UK Government’s requirements, (c) agrees that the decision must be implemented immediately in accordance with the provisions of section 7.25 of the Council’s Constitution and will not be subject to Call-In for the reasons set out in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 of the report, and (d) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 3 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the appointment of Balfour Beatty, via the SCAPE Framework, and authorise the entry into the contract for the delivery of the two projects, with a total maximum contract value of £11,302,433.00, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 and 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Barry Mellor presented the report seeking Cabinet approval to appoint Balfour Beatty, via the SCAPE framework, for the delivery of two closely linked UK Government Local Regeneration Fund (LRF) capital projects. Details of the projects: Rhyl Town Centre Public Realm (£5,632,433) and Rhyl Central Promenade (£5,670,000) had been set out in the report, transforming and enhancing the current areas, strengthening links and reconnecting the High Street with the promenade. The cost would be fully funded by the LRF grant. Due to their scale, proximity and interdependencies, it was proposed that the projects be delivered as a single integrated scheme to achieve efficiencies and value for money. The contractual arrangements, financial implications and benefits of the approach had been detailed in the report. Cabinet approval was required due to the value of the contract and to ensure the arrangements were formally endorsed. The Traffic and Transportation Manager provided a summary of the two projects which had been set out in detail in the report. He highlighted the benefits of a Design and Build approach given the timescales involved and early involvement of contractors and ensuring value for money. Cabinet welcomed the further investment in Rhyl as part of the wider plan to regenerate the town and questions were raised regarding the opportunity to promote culture and heritage which was rich in the town and the benefits of the direct award. The Traffic and Transportation Manager confirmed that there were wider aspects outside of the scheme under active consideration such as an Art Trail and measures to improve buildings beyond the streetscape via the use of grant funding. The benefits of using the SCAPE framework were highlighted given that a robust tendering and procurement process had already been carried out and the direct award would reduce the procurement timescales which was a key issue in this case whilst demonstrating value for money and managing delivery and cost risk effectively. The Council had worked with Balfour Beatty for a number of years and they were a trusted contractor with a strong track record of delivering high quality projects. Councillors Barry Mellor and Alan James also reported on the merits of a direct award to Balfour Beatty based on previous work with the coastal defence schemes and there had been local supplier engagement, apprenticeships and strong community relations. Some reference was made to the recent STEAM data produced highlighting the number of visitors to the area and general decline in employment in the tourism industry. It was believed the two capital projects would help Rhyl’s regeneration and attract further tourism and wider points around employment etc., were an integral part of the recently approved Economic Strategy. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the appointment of Balfour Beatty, via the SCAPE Framework, and authorise the entry into the contract for the delivery of the two projects, with a total maximum contract value of £11,302,433.00, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Wellbeing Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 and 2 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet approves the extension of the existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) until October 2028 from which point a new purchasing system would be in place.
Councillor Barry Mellor presented the report seeking Cabinet approval to extend the current Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) used by the Passenger Transport team to tender for education and local bus contracts. The current DPS had been in place since 2018 and approval was sought for it to be extended to October 2028 to allow for forthcoming regulatory changes to be accommodated in the Council’s new purchasing agreement post October 2028. The work of the Passenger Transport team in the tendering and management of contracts was highlighted together with current and estimated spend within the DPS to October 2028 and the legalities of the extension under the transition regulations. Flintshire County Council was also looking to extend their existing DPS until October 2028 and the intention was to work collaboratively with them going forward on the development of a new purchasing system ahead of its implementation. Councillor Diane King was supportive of the recommendations highlighting the importance of the contract in providing safe and suitable transport for learners and welcomed the collaborative working with Flintshire County Council going forward. RESOLVED that Cabinet approves the extension of the existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) until October 2028 from which point a new purchasing system would be in place.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the establishment of a North Wales Construction Partnership Small Value Works Framework (SVWF), designed to deliver construction projects valued between £30,000 and £300,000 across the region, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Julie Matthews presented the report seeking Cabinet approval to establish a North Wales Construction Partnership (NWCP) Small Value Works Framework (SVWF) to deliver construction projects valued between £30k - £300k. The SVWF would provide a structured, transparent and efficient procurement route for small-scale works to the six NWCP partner authorities with the aim of supporting local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) participation, embedding social value and ensuring compliance with the Procurement Act 2023. It would streamline processes, potentially reduce procurement/project costs and strengthen community benefits. Details of the SVWF and its operation, including the appointment of contractors and lotting structure had been set out together with governance arrangements and funding considerations. A Community Benefits Strategy had been developed to set benchmarks, targets and reporting requirements. The Collaborative Procurement and Framework Manager added that the framework had been requested by the client authorities using the NWCP current framework for procurement from £250k upwards which had been extremely successful in project delivery and in terms of employment and training opportunities; the intention was to replicate that approach with the SVWF and send a strong message to local smaller contractors across the region that the public sector wanted to work with them. Cabinet welcomed the creation of a SVWF and opportunities it would generate for small local businesses in Denbighshire. In response to questions the regional lotting structure was further elaborated upon and it was confirmed that it was possible for local contractors to be appointed to both East and West regions. Through work undertaken with sub-contractors on the current NWCP framework there was confidence that there were a sufficient number of small local contractors to appoint to the SVWF. Following approvals, work to procure the framework could commence and assurances were given that there would be close working with the Economic and Business Development Team and Business Wales with a view to maximising the opportunities for small businesses in Denbighshire. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the establishment of a North Wales Construction Partnership Small Value Works Framework (SVWF), designed to deliver construction projects valued between £30,000 and £300,000 across the region, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the establishment of a North Wales Construction Partnership Consultancy Framework to provide a collaborative, regionally focused procurement route for construction and civils consultancy services, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Councillor Julie Matthews presented the report seeking Cabinet approval to establish a North Wales Construction Partnership (NWCP) Consultancy Framework to complement existing arrangements and provide a collaborative, regionally focused procurement route for construction and civils consultancy services. The North Wales Consultancy Framework would streamline processes through a one-stage, compliant procurement route, reducing costs and delays while strengthening local supply chains, safeguarding jobs and embedding community benefits in line with the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act. Details of the framework and its operation, including the lotting structure and appointment of contractors had been set out together with the value and scope of the programme and funding considerations. A Community Benefits Strategy had been developed to set benchmarks, targets and reporting requirements. The Collaborative Procurement and Framework Manager explained that the new framework had been requested by the client authorities and most projects delivered via the main NWCP framework required some form of consultancy. The framework would enable a more efficient route to the local consultancy market and send a strong message that the public sector wanted to do business with them. RESOLVED that Cabinet – (a) approve the establishment of a North Wales Construction Partnership Consultancy Framework to provide a collaborative, regionally focused procurement route for construction and civils consultancy services, and (b) confirms that it has read, understood and taken account of the Well-being Impact Assessment (Appendix 1 to the report) as part of its consideration.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED that Cabinet note the budgets set for 2025/26 and progress against the agreed budget strategy.
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 £1.882m (previously £2.473m underspend) was forecast for service and corporate budgets with the movement (£591k) due to set-aside to transformation reserve and increased management fee for leisure services and increased pressures in Children’s Services offset by deferring increased ICT costs and a reduction in forecast costs of School Transport · savings and efficiencies for the 2025/26 budget (£4.170m) and progress in delivering savings approved with ongoing tracking/monitoring · 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 the variances within service and corporate budgets. She also drew attention to the schools’ position with a forecasted reduction to school balances leading to a net debit balance of £5.190m moving forward, and discussions with schools to support the work required to reduce those balances were ongoing. The Leader thanked the Lead Member and the Head of Finance and Audit for the report and presentation which reflected the hard work being undertaken. RESOLVED that Cabinet note the budgets set for 2025/26 and progress against the agreed budget strategy.
