Denbighshire County Council has recently launched a new, more accessible website designed to ensure that residents have easy access to goods and services locally, online and through good transport links. The council has also upgraded and improved public access technology facilities in all of its eight libraries and confirmed that 91per cent of all roads is covered by a 4G mobile network. 

 

The move follows a report showing an increase in online transactions from 2019 to 2020. According to the document, 46per cent more residents have undertaken various transactions via the web compared to the total number of transactions through other access channels. 

 

Cllr Hugh Evans, leader of Denbighshire County Council and lead member for the economy, said: “As a council, we recognised the importance of staying connected.

 

"This meant investing in the technologies that will keep our communities connected in the long-term, which is why we work with partners such as the Welsh Government's Superfast Cymru project."

 

Cllr Richard Mainon, lead member for corporate services and transition, added: “The development of our website ensured that council information and services will be accessible online where possible.

 

"We introduced new accessible website document templates in October 2019 to ensure that online documents are accessible and can be used by as many people as possible.”
