The responsibilities of Rhuddlan Borough Council, which covered an area including the coastal towns Prestatyn and Rhyl and inland to St Asaph, Rhuddlan, Dyserth and Bodelwyddan, were taken over by the new Denbighshire County Council.[1] It gradually emerged that there were serious problems with Rhuddlan's capital programme.
Rhuddlan's Chief Executive Officer and Borough Treasurer, Mr Edwin Lake, played a key role in the capital programme, and was apparently given considerable discretion by the Council in its management.[5] In the Council's final months, as other staff left, he appears to have run the programme almost single-handed.
Rhuddlan did not prepare a formal capital programme statement for 1995-96, on the ground that there were no new schemes (apart from the East Parade car park development, for which Denbighshire's consent was obtained).

The Plan covers a period of three years and requires that for any one year all legislative requirements are met, that the budget is constructed so that deficit balances are not carried forward, and that appropriate measures are taken to address the causes of overspending.
However there is effectively a two-tier provision with the remaining three libraries (Rhuddlan, St. Asaph and Llangollen) using manual tickets and, whilst these libraries have a Galaxy library as a mentor to assist in logging book requests, customers receive an inferior service in terms of the efficiency of locating the books they want.
Maintenance costs are high, and in the case of Rhuddlan Library the extent of the deterioration of the building has called into question its future viability.
