Mohammed Mehmet, Denbighshire’s Chief Executive, said: “It is difficult to predict exactly how the industrial action will affect services.
“However, the Council is in negotiations with the trade unions to agree exemptions from the strike, where there is a real need for some staff to work to deliver a vital service to those most vulnerable clients or general public or to deal with emergency cases.
“We have put contingency plans in place to ensure that we continue to offer as many services as we can, minimising disruption wherever possible.
“As we are expecting to have fewer staff working on the day, we would kindly ask people only to contact the Council if their enquiry is urgent or cannot wait until the following day”.
