Previous Updates

Elderly, vulnerable, disabled or isolated people

During severe weather Social Services are particularly concerned about people who are vulnerable, elderly, disabled or who may be isolated and living alone. Members of the community are asked to let social services know if they are concerned about anybody as a result of the severe weather. Social Services can be contacted on 01978 267000.

When bad weather hits, Social Services have a list of their known vulnerable clients and they work with transport departments to ensure essential services are provided.

School Closures

Should any of the schools in Wrexham County Borough need to close due to weather, fire or building work, we will list the relevant details on our website.

Parents are advised to listen to Heart FM on 103.4FM if they are concerned about school closures. The Heart FM website will include a list of school closures in the Wrexham area.

School Transport

Where schools are open the school bus and taxi providers know that they should make every effort to operate as normal. However, the route taken by certain vehicles may vary from normal in the interests of safety, you are advised to make sure that pupils are at their pick-up point at least 10 minutes earlier than usual. Please also be advised that schools or colleges that decide to open could make the decision to close early if the weather conditions get worse during the course of the day, this would mean that children would arrive home early. You are advised to check with the school or college concerned and/or monitor the regular updates on Heart FM website.

Parents who require information as to any changes to the route or timetable of school transport should contact the operator direct (details below). Should you require any additional information please contact the Education Transport Team at Wrexham County Borough Council on 01978 292056.
