Denbighshire County Council is preparing a broad display of council services at this year’s Denbigh and Flint Show, which takes place on Thursday 20 August 2026 at The Green in Denbigh. Council staff will be on hand to explain work across the county that supports communities, protects the environment and responds to the challenges of climate change.
What visitors can expect at the council stand
The council will use the show to bring practical services to residents and to highlight initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and improving resilience. Key features at the stand will include:
- Fleet Services — a selection of electric vehicles, including council fleet models and vehicles supplied by local dealers, demonstrating lower-emission transport options;
- Climate team — information on the council’s programme to cut carbon and protect biodiversity, with advice on how households, businesses and community groups can get involved;
- Flood Risk team — guidance on managing flood risk across Denbighshire and on improving local preparedness and resilience in partnership with communities;
- Recycling Advisors — practical tips, information and activities aimed at reducing waste and improving recycling at home.
Council organisers say the presence of multiple service teams offers a single, accessible place for residents to meet staff and find practical guidance on topics that affect everyday life in Denbighshire.
Electric vehicles and air quality
Fleet Services will bring several electric vehicles to the event to demonstrate how the technology can contribute to cleaner transport. Staff will be available to discuss how electric vehicles can help reduce emissions and improve air quality, and to answer questions about the role of low-emission vehicles for both public sector and private use.
Climate work and community action
The council’s Climate team will outline the practical steps it is taking across departments to tackle climate change and to support wider ambitions to lower carbon emissions and protect biodiversity. The team will offer advice to individuals and organisations on straightforward actions they can take to support those aims.
Flood risk and recycling — local services on display
Members of the Flood Risk team will be available to explain how they work with communities and partner organisations to reduce and manage flood risk. The Recycling Advisors will host activities and provide tailored advice to help households recycle more effectively and reduce waste.
“The Denbigh and Flint Show is a fantastic opportunity for our residents and visitors to speak directly with our teams an

| Fleet Services | Showcase of electric vehicles and discussion of low-emission transport |
| Climate team | Information on carbon reduction and biodiversity initiatives |

For Denbigh residents the event will be an opportunity to engage directly with the teams responsible for services that shape local life — from how households sort their bins to how the council plans for floods and reduces transport emissions. The presence of demonstrator vehicles and hands-on recycling activities is intended to make those conversations practical as well as informative.
The council stand forms part of a wider programme at the Denbigh and Flint Show designed to bring public services and community groups together in one place. Residents attending on 20 August can use the occasion to raise questions and find out how to access support and advice across a range of local services.
