West Wrexham action plans under the spotlight

Plans to help shape the future of communities in West Wrexham will come under the spotlight this month.

Roadshows are being staged in Gwersyllt, Llay, Coedpoeth, Brymbo and Tanyfron to encourage local people to get involved in a series of ‘community action plans’ being developed to tackle local issues.

The plans are being drawn up using feedback from local people gathered by Wrexham Council’s Economic Development Department over the past 12 months.

Residents in West Wrexham were encouraged to talk about the positive and negative aspects of where they live, with comments ranging from positive feelings about local schools to concerns about issues like fly-tipping and drug and alcohol abuse.

Called Our Community – the Way Forward, the roadshows are being organised by the department’s West Wrexham Community Development Team and will take place between Wednesday, July 7 and Thursday, July 15, stopping off at various locations in each of the five villages.

Councillor Rodney Skelland, lead member for regeneration and corporate governance, said: “The feedback provided by residents is being used to help develop these actions plans.

“The plans will help communities tackle the issues that matter most to local people and the roadshows are a great opportunity to find out more.”

There will also be interactive activities, a free prize draw and a drawing competition for children.

For more information, including where the roadshow will be pitching up, contact Ceri Postle on 01978 722986.
