Summary profiles of 2011 census data for all wards in Wrexham County Borough. This information is based on ward boundaries before the 2022 local elections. Census 2021 data for the new ward boundaries is not yet available.

We (Wrexham Council) are required to act jointly via the Wrexham public services board (external link) to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wrexham County Borough.

We do this by contributing to the achievement of the well-being goals, as laid out in the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.

A well-being assessment is prepared every five years as part of achieving this duty.

What is a well-being assessment?

Well-being assessments capture the state of well-being in the area. Our well-being assessment can draw on census data and statistics; academic work; and qualitative research and evidence. It is produced in consultation with local communities and groups. 

Our assessment should also set out expected future trends and refer to the national well-being indicators.

Latest assessment

This is the second well-being assessment produced by Wrexham Public Services Board. The first one was in 2017.

Wrexham Public Services Board have reflected on:

• where we’ve come from – learning from both the 2017 well-being assessment and our well-being plan and what we are doing.
• where we are now – what do we know about how things look and feel now.
• where we’re heading – what are the future trends and dynamics that are likely to affect Wrexham County Borough.

Based on this assessment Wrexham Public Services Board will develop a plan to improve well-being in our area.

Following the production of our well-being assessment, our well-being plan looks at local well-being and sets objectives in consultation with the Future Generations Commissioner to maximise local well-being.

Our current well-being plan is for 2018-2023.

Progress is reported on an annual basis (this annual report is also published on the Wrexham Public Services Board website).

Wrexham Public Services Board’s next well-being plan is due to be published in May 2023.
