Hello and welcome to this, my first blog! Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am Councillor Jeanette Chamberlain Jones, the current Chairman of Denbighshire County Council. I was elected to office as Chairman during the Annual County Council meeting in May 2012, for a term of 12 months. The duties of Chairman include: presiding over meetings of the full Council; to be the conscience of the Council; to attend civic and ceremonial functions and to promote public involvement in the Council’s activities.
I have been a member of Denbighshire County Council since I was first elected by the residents of the Rhyl South Ward in June 2004. I also represent the residents of Rhyl (Derwen Ward) as an elected member of Rhyl Town Council since May 2003 and was also the Mayor of Rhyl in 2008/09.
As Chairman of Denbighshire County Council, I have chosen to raise awareness and funds for my chosen charities, namely St. Kentingern Hospice, St Asaph; Vision Support and Rhyl Lifeboat.
I attend functions throughout Denbighshire and beyond in my role as Chairman, helping to promote the County and representing Denbighshire’s residents in my official capacity. Between now and next May, I will have attended approximately 200 events. It is such a pleasure meeting so many people. If you would like me to attend an event which you are organising, please contact the Civic Office – Eleri Woolford – (01824 706196) or Lona Williams(01824 712572). I shall make every effort to attend and if I am unable to do so, the Vice Chairman will be asked to attend in my place.
The current Vice-Chairman of Denbighshire County Council is Councillor Raymond Bartley. Raymond was first elected to Denbighshire County Council in June 2004 representing the residents of Denbigh Lower Ward. A previous Chairman and Vice-Chairman of Denbighshire in 2007/08 and 2008/09, Raymond has also been a Denbigh Town Councillor since 1982 and was Mayor of Denbigh in 1990/91; 2004/05; 2006/07 and is also the current 2012/13 Mayor. The term of office for the Vice-Chairman is twelve months and he deputises in the absence of the Chairman, carrying out all of the functions and duties of the Chairman.
I am always so delighted and privileged to meet residents of Denbighshire who are celebrating their 100th Birthday or couples who are celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The Vice Chairman and I have visited many people and presented them with a card and flowers on behalf of Denbighshire County Council. Please let us know if you know of someone within your community who will be celebrating their 100th Birthday or 60th Wedding Anniversary and we will arrange to visit them. If you’d like advice on how to arrange a message from the Queen, please contact the Civic Office as detailed above.
