Charlotte asks: “Why, when we are promised extra patrols, do we never see a police officer or pcos in sight?”
A regular feature on this site is a CCTV round up – prompting the query: “In the Wrexham area what is the response to (and arrests made )as a result of the poor quality Caught on Camera photos?”
and another of this pair – simon queries: “Why is it if you try and film a police office on a night out arresting someone, do they come over to you and threaten to arrest you as it’s illegal to record them…..when it s not.”
A couple of questions asking similar things: “Why is there so many drug addicts and alcoholics at night by the carpark of the multi storey or peoples market and no police ever around” and “Why can’t I walk through town without being asked for money by a person who is homeless/alcoholic/drug addict.
James asks: “In a recent report compiled from a Freedom of Information request, the number of complaints lodged against NW Police has increased from 37 in 2012 to 75 in 2014, whilst up to March 2015, 20 cases were under active investigation.
Is this indicative of institutional arrogance or that Officers of NW Police are in need of training in interpersonal skills for dealing with the general public?”Nicola asked about the LLPD chopper, our favourite topic here at Wrexham.com: “How much does it cost to get the police chopper out? And how successful is it in catching the offenders? Always hear of the helicopters out at night but never actually hear if they’ve caught anyone!!”
This is due to start shortly, the format will be that I will post up the questions collated from Facebook, email, Twitter along with the ones posted to this thread.
Hopefully then Inspector Paul Wycherley and Inspector Simon Kneale will post their replies to the questions live directly and unedited from the police station!
“A LOBO is a “teaser rate” loan, designed to initially sweeten the deal, featuring interest rates that can be periodically “called” higher by the bank, meaning the potential for 40-50 years of variable interest pain.”
Interesting link here giving a breakdown of why this is an issue https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/joel-benjamin/dispatches-how-local-governments-are-being-fleeced-by-banks-for-%C2%A315bn
Graphs though only cover England it seems.
The note regarding the planning portal tried to explain the scale of the outage. Last time Wrexham.gov.uk went down, planning stayed up. This indicates it was a website/webserver issue that time, however due to the way websites work it created an issue on the planning site look and feel as related files could not be pulled in so although it was up it was not useable.
There will be further downtime on Sunday – planned and notified – although one notice says urgent work and the other says routine.
Uptime stats are on https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/statistics/uptime.htm for those who are interested, which also shows the rarity of it happening.
[quote quote=96495]All these cuts and Wrexham.com still seems surprised and think its newsworthy when the website goes down. Guess there’s not much else to report.

It is tricky to write about it when you are not allowed the information or to hear the debate, if there was one.
Here is a report on the unreportable, including query to council if there any more info that could be released: https://www.wrexham.com/news/council-to-discuss-senior-management-structures-in-secret-part-2-meeting-96291.html
The website being down for half a day is an issue if there is a push to eservices (often replacing humans), and much like the earlier report in June such downtime does not appear to be documented anywhere else.
