Denbighshire County Hall in Ruthin. Denbighshire councillors have voted to give the authority’s lowest paid staff a backdated pay rise of 5p-an-hour to reach last year’s Real Living Wage. The move was made at Tuesday’s full council meeting where members discussed trying to attain the Real Living Wage for employees on the lowest pay scale. Cllr Glenn Swingler (Denbigh Upper/Henllan ward) reminded members the council had been looking at this issue since 2017. He added: “We are talking about the social care aspect of that. These are our frontline workers and they have been working really hard in dangerous situations over the last year or so.
