Two were community parks Acton and Bellevue, four were country parks Alyn Waters, Moss Valley, Nant Mill and Ty Mawr, all are owned by Wrexham County Borough Council. A further site Maes y Pant is owned and run by local residents called the Maes y Pant Action Group and the eighth site, Marford Quarry, is owned by North Wales Wildlife Trust. The aim of the survey was to obtain ecological data on the habitats and species present on each of the eight sites. Identifying any possible ecological management practices and enhancements that maybe required at each locality to ensure future wider community use and involvement in creating outdoor space by forging partnerships between local residents and organisations while protecting the most threatened species and habitats listed under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). Enfys Ecology carried out visits to the sites and the a brief survey, looking at what would be examined in an extended Preliminary Ecological Assessment (PEA) was carried out on each of the eight sites. Due to the time of year and the scope of the works a full PEA was not undertaken. To enhance the site visit information, a request and examination of local ecological records held by Cofnod, (the North Wales Ecological Record Centre) was carried out for some of the sites, with additional ecological data which was obtained from Wrexham County Borough Council used for the remainder of the sites. 4.0 Alyn Waters Country Park 4.1 Alyn Water Country Park Survey area Alyn Waters Country Park is the largest of Wrexham County Borough Council parks being 3 miles north of Wrexham. Grid reference SJ332549, it is approximately between 79 to 87 meters above sea level. Originally a Landfill site it was restored to a country park in 1989.

    the original house. This has resulted in the loss of simple rhythm created by windows and doors and the buildings are difficult to read as a cohesive combination. To the south, several buildings have been detrimentally altered using inappropriate materials such as oversized windows with large panes, uPVC and cement. Not only are cement and uPVC inappropriate materials for a conservation area in terms of aesthetics, they are not sustainable building materials. The north side of Wrexham Road is predominately Victorian in appearance, with a mix of farms and domestic dwellings.

  • The Grouped Parishes of Llay, Rossett and Isycoed Parish Profile October
    The Grouped Parishes of Llay, Rossett and Isycoed Parish Profile October 2015 A Profile of the Diocese of St Asaph The Diocese of St Asaph is a diverse and hopeful community of faith. With roots in the Celtic church and a wealth of character and tradition, we seek to continue to uncover our shared vocation as God’s people in the Church in Wales in the north east of the Province. We are a Diocese in good heart and seek to persist in responding joyfully to God’s challenge. The Diocese follows the English/Welsh border in the east, whilst the western edge is delineated by the Conwy Valley. The northern boundary runs along the North Wales coast as far as Llandudno, but only takes in part of that town. The southern boundary runs from the lower end of Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) across to Dolfor, just south of Newtown in Powys. Ecclesiastically it is bordered by the Dioceses of Chester, Lichfield and Hereford on the northern and eastern sides. To the south we border Swansea and Brecon Diocese and to the west, Bangor. The Diocese is predominantly rural, with many parishes having populations of less than 1000. However, there are important and continually developing industrial and commercial areas around Deeside (one of the largest industrial parks in Europe) and Wrexham and significant smaller developments along the two main arterial roads (A55 and A483). The coastal strip is home to traditional holiday resorts and tourism is an important industry in many parts of the Diocese. The largest employers are the local authorities through education and the health services with two large general district hospitals at Bodelwyddan and Wrexham.
