* Llangollen Pavilion.
The county council is to look at “more efficient” ways of running Llangollen Pavilion.
Councillors are also to consider reducing funding to the
town’s Tourist Information Centre and axing council-run exhibitions in the
library.
The measures are part of a major exercise by Denbighshire to
slash £10 million from its budget.
The full council has already approved the first phase of the
cuts package, which includes a plan to consider making efficiencies in the
running of the pavilion to save £25,000.
A council document currently out for public consultation
says this could include the creation of a private and public partnership, for
certain months of the year, to raise more income and reduce running costs.
Listed under the proposals for the second phase of savings
process, which are due to be discussed by councillors in December and next
February, is the reduction of funding for Tourist Information Centre including
the one in Castle Street, Llangollen, to save £20,000.
Also to be considered under phase two is the ending of
council-run exhibitions in library galleries across the county, including
Llangollen.
The council document says that this move and the making of
some general efficiencies, including spending less on books, would save
£302,000.
