“It’s a pleasure to be appointed as Vice Chair. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as Chair of the Council and I now look forward to assuming this new role and to support Councillor Peter Scott.”
Councillor Peter Scott, Chair of Denbighshire County Council said,
“I’d like to congratulate Arwel and I very much look forward to working with him for the remainder of this year. I’d also like to thank Councillor Diane King for all her hard work over the past few months.”
