Help improve the well-being of our county

Denbighshire residents are being invited to help shape the future of their communities by taking part in a new county-wide public survey assessing the well-being of our county.

Feedback from residents will help inform the Well-being Assessment for Denbighshire and also Conwy who are running a similar survey. Together views gathered in both counties will guide the priorities that public services focus on in the years ahead, including Local Government, Health, Fire and Rescue and Natural Resource Wales.

It is an opportunity for local people to influence decisions that affect everyday life, from community wellbeing to long-term planning.

Public bodies in Wales are required to plan for the long term and consider the needs of future generations and to do so collectively under Public Service Boards. Denbighshire’s Public Service Board is shared with Conwy. To do that effectively, they need to understand what is working well now, what challenges communities are facing, and what people want life in the county to look like in the future.

Every response received will help build a clearer picture of shared priorities, concerns and opportunities across both Denbighshire and Conwy.

Councillor Julie Matthews, Deputy Leader and Lead Member for Corporate Strategy, Policy, Equalities and Strategic Assets, said: “This exercise is completed every 5 years as part of developing key strategies for the council. We really want to hear from residents of all ages as this is an opportunity for you to help everyone’s well-being in the county moving forward. Your voice is important.

“The more people who take part, the better picture we will have of what matters to you across our county so please take a few minutes to share your thoughts.”

The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete and closes on Friday, 31 July 2026. It is available in alternative formats by contacting the Strategic Planning Team using the email strategicplanningteam@denbighshire.gov.uk
