I don’t think anyone is opposed to brining people into the town and creating a different atmosphere as more people move in- the very practical issues of bins and parking however surly needs to be sorted. There are enough examples across Wrexham were this has never been done and the developments have just become eyesores and health risks.
As far as the bins are concerned why the apartment residents can’t just put their rubbish in the relevant bin for the shop below their own space – or is this too simple.
The other idea would be not to bring all of the shops back into use but to convert a couple into covered car parking.
