Homeless rough sleeper
A motion, calling on Denbighshire Council to give its job threatened homelessness prevention team more time to consult on a “reorganisation”, prompted a heated response from a cabinet member.
Cllr Glenn Swingler (Denbigh Upper/Henllan) told Denbighshire’s full council meeting on Tuesday his notice of motion was not intended to “interfere with officers’ powers”.
It called for the decision date for the reorganisation to be put back from February 1 until a council scrutiny committee had the chance to “examine the reasoning” behind the move.
However Cllr Huw Hilditch-Roberts, lead member for education, said the motion would never have happened had it been “communicated in the first place”.
