Focused on Our Performance Report Wrexham County Borough Council Has Also Published Our Statutory Equality Plan Annual Report
Introduction by the Leader and Chief Executive Welcome to Wrexham County Borough Council’s annual review of our performance against our Council Plan (2019-2022). This report presents our evaluation of success in fulfilling our vision for the future for Wrexham County Borough Council; of creating communities where people are supported to fulfil their potential, prosper and achieve a high standard of well-being. In enabling this vision we aim to be a strong and inclusive community leader and we work to promote and support the well-being of all those who live in, work in and visit the County Borough. This review identifies the progress we have made during 2019/20 in accomplishing this vision. There is no doubt that 2019/20 ended with our communities facing an unprecedented emergency that affected all aspects of Wrexham County Borough. No one could have predicted the enormity of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the extent to which priorities and resources would be redirected to minimising or mitigating the risks that the pandemic presented. As the country went into lock down on the 23rd March 2020, we began fulfilling a local and regional role, planning for and responding to the impact on service provision, governance, staff welfare, the economy and wider community. This alongside the backdrop of further budget cuts for the year 2019/20, resulted in an unparalleled challenge to the end of the year. However these challenges have not dampened our drive to improve our communities, now more than ever as the people we represent have faced incredible adversity. -

Page 58 2 Summary Alyn Waters Country Park is the largest park managed by Wrexham County Borough Council. It is located within 4 miles of Wrexham town centre. Much of the site was formerly sand and gravel quarry and later used for domestic landfill. The area was designated as a country park in 1989. This Management Plan identifies and describes the features of and resources within Alyn Waters Country Park. It goes on to analyse the Parks development, its conservation status, its role as an educational and community resource and its value as a visitor attraction. The Park is now a popular and well-used facility. Much of it has been developed, but some decisions need to be made on how the remaining areas of the Park should develop and how the existing areas should be managed and maintained. -
