Local Debt Help Guide for Denbighshire

The cuts announced in the government’s Comprehensive Spending Review will have a serious impact on Denbighshire. For this reason, we have put together this Debt Help Guide for Denbighshire.

An enormous 45% of Denbighshire’s working population is employed within the public sector, so the job losses expected as a result of the government cuts will have a serious effect on the region’s workforce.

Percentage of employment in public and private sector for Denbighshire

The government has predicted ½ million public sector job losses as a result of the spending review, but some economists believe the figure is more likely to be 725,000 jobs.

Areas like Denbighshire, where the workforce relies heavily on public sector employment, are set to suffer.

The situation will be made worse by the additional reductions in welfare spending, which will include cuts in Child Tax Credit, housing benefits and Child Benefit.
