Can we all assume that the Wrexham Trust will be made up of the same Councilors who are failing our town at the moment. As a regular at Wrexham Library no one has asked me what I think or if I would like to be a Trust member, non of the staff have a clue what is going on (appalling staff management). You cannot run a community Trust without the community being involved.
Equally I have a number of friends in the arts community in Wrexham and non of them have been asked to be a part of any development or for their assistance.
Please can Clr Wynn list who is being consulted as it certainly appears it is not the Community who will be asked to foot the bill in the future or be part of a Management Group.
Sorry Clr Wynn I don’t think you have got the measure of the Lead Member yet and the manipulations that go on behind closed doors.
Personally if you don’t get the measure of Lead Members and their officers you would struggle in Westminster as the behind closed door activity is even greater. If he is now delaying until May what is it he is researching, who is advising and how much are we all paying again for consultants. Lets see if you will ask the questions now before the report is even written– when will the report go to Scrutiny or will it go straight to Executive Board!!
You are being strung along..Peter – Councillor/Officer membership of any Trust cannot exceeded 20% so if a board is made up of 10 individuals then 8 of them will be selected via the relevant selection process.
The report is due to be presented to the Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee, probably the day before it goes to the Executive Board. Dates are not known as yet.
Your advice has been noted.
Call me a trusting soul but I’m prepared to wait for the right information to come forward in May, rather it be rushed through in April.

Cllr Wynn, at one time you were a noted critic of the Wrexham Supporters Trust. What won you round?
Liam – I think you mean some of the Trust Board members not the WST. See my comments on separate thread. You were there at the time, living and breathing it. I hope you don’t mind me asking but what were your thoughts on Richard Green’s tenure?
Anyway the future of the Racecourse and getting our club back in the Football League is the focus, not churning over the past.
I have a track record of fund raising for the WST over the years, which I am very proud of.
The current WST Board and Wxm AFC directors are doing a sterling job and our dialogue shouldn’t become a distraction.

Less services = less managers, less staff and yes there should be less Councilors. With fundamental changes to the shape of service delivery by Councils in the future means they should never remain the same and should adapt to their new role.
Fewer fewer fewer fewer.

It’s a month since anything was posted on this one, and we talked in the pub last night about the things that are being discussed in Wrexham but always seem to remain the same year after year.
Being very boring, we talked about the services that could be increased, cut or changed, and we came back to the overall budget.
Saturday night must be a blast in your pub.

Until Wrexham Council debates the £230m it spends annually, line by line, controlled by about 50 councillors in the meeting and 50 officers day by day (or in industry this would be 1 to 5 people) … the blast in Wrexham will be the continued chuncks falling off the Welsh economy, now indexing at 14 percent less than a decade ago …
