The Welsh Language Steering Committee at Denbighshire County Council provides strategic leadership and oversight to ensure the Council complies with Welsh language standards, promotes the use of Welsh across its services, and supports the development of Welsh within the organisation and the wider community.

Councillor Emrys Wynne, Lead Member for Welsh Language, Culture & Heritage said:

“It was a pleasure to welcome pupils from local schools along to today’s meeting.

I’d like to thank them for attending and for their beautiful singing, it was a great way to celebrate our patron Saint.”
