    For once I agree Owain Glyndwr
    Her late majesty had just celebrated her 50 years on the throne when the Groves was declared’ surplus to requirements!’. The dither of Independent led councils, highlighted by this week’s Audit report has been around for aeons !

    Back in 2022 our council leader spoke eloquently about dedicating the 9 Acre field to her late majesty.
    Now he is ‘ resting the idea ‘ due to lack of funds.
    Surely the Queen Elizabeth field is more suitable for ‘ crowdfunding’ than a costly,ill fated and unsuccessful legal tilt at disrailing the same plan he was happy to submit in November 2018!

    That was certainly the position pre 20th December as the council had no LDP since 2011 . You had to argue a case with your hands tied behind your back as WCBC in their wisdom refused to construct and/or decide an overall plan that would direct such things .
    The frightening position is having been faced with reality they have less than 5 years to do it all over again.

    I see Plaid Cymru are indulging in their usual idiocy.Apparently since WCBC ‘ were forced to adopt ( their own LDP “ developers have magically produced 550 houses !
    Since the said meeting , where PC did a petty walk out thats 15 days including Christmas and New Year .
    And if it is coming to a January committee it was lodged BEFORE the council’ were forced to adopt their ( own ) plan. GIGO with this bunch!

    And the real farce is that in less than half the time we have had no development plan ( just short of 12 years) we will need a new one .
    With the current bunch of duckers, ditherers and dumbos I don’t hold much hope of success.
    Something needs to change !

    Sorry Wrexview – you are out by a year .The UDP ( Unitary Development Plan ) agreed by Labour Clwyd and Labour Wrexham Maelor pre 1996 ran out in 2011. Different Chief Executive and the council was a Lib-Dem coalition-Labour in opposition.
    LDP 1 submitted late 2011 and rejected in early 2012 ( pre election) as not robust enough.
    Labour minority administration May-2012-September 2014 set up a Planning Policy Panel to investigate the evidence ( not personal opinions) needed for a robust plan .
    At the end of this process the Independent-Tory administration of Pritchard and co was submitted in November 2018 for investigation and interrogation, prior to adoption.
    If as you suggest the evidence was not robust this time , specifically, was the time to make the case!
    Returned after the rigours of this process to same council -same groups in charge (sic) and same opposition (Labour only as Plaid Cymru had opted to be Pritchard’s poodles). And finally adopted today.
    They say “ history is written by the winners !” Plaids fiction is an attempt for the losers of an argument to do so!

    My granddaughter was born ( in 2013 ) after the last LDP was rejected.
    At 10 she is far too mature to say “ s’not fair “ any more .
    Pity Plaid have not got that maturity .
    Not so much ‘ spitting their dummy out ‘ as leaving the playground ( to them ) they were supposedly sent to govern in .

    I wonder if the three councillors ( nearly called them stooges) were members of WCBC in November 2018 ?
    According to their own website the Unitary Development plan was submitted to Welsh Government and PINS for consideration nearly 5 years ago on 30/11/2018 .
    “ Following a decision of the council on 22/11/2018 . Now apparently they deny the very same information!

    And now in response to being found in breach of the law Plaid Cymru are going full Sunak-Braverman.
    The law doesn’t apply to us as we are carrying out “ the will of the people!”
    Pathetic!
