  • 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.

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.

  • Wrexham Town Centre Masterplan PDF Format 8.4 MB
    An evidence base for the Local Development Plan and a framework for decision making within the Masterplan area Y( wrexnam COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL CYNGOR BWROEISTREF SIROL Executive Summary 0.1 Introduction This Masterplan was prepared by Wrexham County Borough Council to provide an evidence base for the emerging Local Development Plan and a framework with which to market the town and encourage investment. 0.2 Wrexham Town Centre Today Wrexham has much to be positive about, as the largest town in North Wales serving an important sub-regional role Wrexham town centre has a strong and healthy mid-market retail offer supported by a wide range of significant sub-regional services including Glyndwr University, Coleg Cambria and Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Its accessibility, countryside, industrial estate and tourism attractions are real assets. The town’s strategic position as a driver of the sub-regional economy, projected population growth, an attractive historic core and public sector regeneration investment provide confidence that the town has great potential for growth and assets that can be harnessed. While the town centre is relatively healthy and has seen significant growth over the last 20 years there is a sense the town lacks identity, the centre is dominated by discount retailers, lacks an evening economy and is beginning to look tired and at times unattractive. Identified gaps in the restaurant sector and in higher quality retail have been identified. However, the previous model of retail continually driving town centre growth has broken, changes in modern retail, the way people shop and wider economic changes mean that town centre regeneration needs a different model, future growth will come from a greater diversity of town centre uses.
