Some premises will be enabled for superfast broadband via Fibre to the Premises where a fibre optic cable runs all the way directly to homes or businesses. However, not all service providers currently offer this. Anyone interested in finding out more to visit the Welsh Government Superfast broadband website, put in a postcode and this should give an estimate what speeds there currently are in the area / when the roll out will happen in their area. Felicity Roberts, Partnership Manager for Superfast Business Wales added that businesses were being provided with digital business support over a 5-year programme funded by Welsh Government. There are 6600 business that have been identified to work with and 1400 businesses have already registered. Workshops are being delivered in the community to help businesses exploit digital technology to grow their business. To date 98 Workshops have been delivered with another 51 planned between now and the end of December. Retail and agricultural businesses are not eligible through Welsh Government to access these workshops. However, Denbighshire County Council have been pro-active in running their own Workshop in which retail and agricultural businesses can access. It is important that the community is aware of the Superfast Business Wales programme to maximise connectivity. Further information available at www.superfast@businesswales.org.uk 89 WALES IN BLOOM / BLODEUO RHUDDLAN Peter Barton Price, a judge for Wales in Bloom congratulated the Town Council, the Bloom Committee, the communities, the local businesses and all involved on gaining the Gold Award (Class 5 Small towns) which clearly championed the community spirit that prevails in Rhuddlan. 32

The Blodeuo Rhuddlan Bloom Committee need to progress with this in due course. Peter Barton Price stated that achieving a Gold Award for a first time entry was unheard of and if the committee were mindful of setting their sights on the National s in the future then there is a need to plan a few years in advance.

In a recent survey, customers told Denbighshire County Council that they don t want to go to several offices to make enquiries, and want to choose how they access council services and keep in touch. For Rhuddlan customers, this will soon become a reality as building works will shortly begin to reshape the inside of the Library and One Stop Shop building, so that in future, customers will be able to access many different services from one location, and the local community will be able to use, to host their own events and activities. In order to keep our customers and visitors safe while the building work is underway, Rhuddlan Library and One Stop Shop will close to the public from Thursday 13 th October until December 2016. Councillor Hugh Irving, Lead Member for Communities, Customer Care and Libraries, said: We would like to thank customers in advance for their cooperation and understanding while the work is ongoing. This is a major development that will enhance the facilities for local people who use the wide range of services already on offer at Rhuddlan library. We understand the importance of this service to local people and users of the library and One Stop Shop will enjoy the much- improved facilities when the site re-opens in December. 35
