    On the Tŷ Pawb website, the photos for the food court bring to my mind people sheltering in a local school gymnasium, perhaps due to flooded homes. It just looks so uninspiring.

    Oh, don’t. You’ll get me all nostalgic for the old bus station toilets with their shiny toilet paper. I’m sad to say it, but in my opinion, they were heaps better than the toilets in the current bus station.

    [quote quote=149622]For what it’s worth I think the new Mayor was able to chair the whole thing pretty well – nobody told him he’d be dealing with children.[/quote]

    As a direct consequence of this comment, I watched the recording. I’ve never watched one before. OMG!!!

    Maybe they could introduce a rule where only the person holding a specific object (the “talking stick”) is permitted to speak. I don’t know why, but the first object that came to my mind was a gonk. They could have a “talking gonk”. I don’t think a gonk would make them look foolish – I think that ship has already sailed.

    Alternatively, perhaps someone could introduce the councillors to good manners and courtesy.

    Maybe moving all of the substance abuse services/charities out of Wrexham would solve or at least reduce the problem. When I say move I don’t care whether they go elsewhere or just shut down. The concentration of these services in Wrexham town is a magnet to those with substance abuse issues. They provide temporary night time accommodation but then turf people out onto the streets during the day. They prop up (“enable”) the substance abuse issues.

    As long as we have, in Wrexham, such organisations that provide a night time sticking plaster to a 24/7 problem, I don’t believe that Wrexham will ever overcome this issue. If we magically fixed the problems of all of the current ‘druggies’ in Wrexham, they will quickly be replaced by new druggies, because this is where the services are located.

    I don’t believe Wrexham will ever make any significant inroads into this issue. I think we’re stuck with it.

    But at least we have a lovely new arts centre, eh.

    [quote quote=149172]Very well said Jimbow – based on a £300k+ deficit paid for by ratepayers we are already paying. If I was a ‘Friend of Ty Pawb’ based on what is there at present I would be looking as quick as possible to find the ‘unfriend’button the same as on Facebook.[/quote]

    I agree. jimbow hit the nail squarely on the head.

    [quote quote=149132]Might I suggest that if the miscreants are caught, dragged to the scene of the crime and have their faces squashed in it, then the occurrence may decrease.

    It’s far cheaper and effective than any of the multi-agency bollocks above.[/quote]

    In keeping with your “house training a domestic pet” theme, Sheefag, might I suggest that it’s the only way the miscreant will realise what the crime even was, as they’re unlikely to remember doing it, what with being off their heads at the time.

    [quote quote=149045]LOL at Owain Glyndwr.

    Sheefag,
    But can you honestly say that the colour scheme is appealing or eye-catching?
    As for the rest I can only assume that Cardiff ‘gets all the good stuff’ due to the ineptitude of WCBC, their inability to organise a pillow fight in a dormitory(Ty Pawb looks to be a waste of money already) and the centre of town not 200 yards away from Ty Pawb is a collection of derelict shops!

    Whilst walking past it just the other night I couldn’t help but notice the doorway with its freshly splintered glass panel.[/quote]

    Are we talking about the building itself here or the website?
    The décor on the outside of the building is actually something I quite like. Before Tŷ Pawb, IMO the market had really ugly, tacky blue window frames. Blue is my favourite colour but that shade of blue just looked cheap and nasty. Therefore I approve of the new exterior décor, in that I think it is an improvement on its previous décor. I don’t think it will last, of course. The paint will start peeling off the window frames at some point. And the inside is reminiscent of Prisoner Cell Block H.

    [quote quote=149014]Thank the Lord for this. I for one, miss the good old days of being able to chuck my litter anywhere I like at any time, whilst leaving an impressive mountainous and pungent trail of dogshit behind me.

    One of the cultural norms of the Town is about to be restored – something we can all get behind.

    We all need to pull together now and work to get the level of street violence back up to the heady heights that we used to enjoy, be proud of, and ultimately, be famous for.

    Sheefag, I would like to thank you for this post! Many a wise word said in jest. It’s been a sh*t day for me, so I’m very pleased that, thanks to your post, it has ended on a high note. Nos da.

    By the end of the year drivers will be able to park for free in Welsh NHS hospital car parks. When I attend hospital I get 2 buses which get me to the Maelor ridiculously early and then catch 2 buses back home, again enduring a long inconvenient wait (not so much to the bus station, but from bus station to home).

    It warms the cockles of my heart to know that people who have bought a car FOR THEIR OWN CONVENIENCE – and this includes pensioners who have free bus passes – are now being given free parking. Apparently paying for a car for the convenience of being able to travel to/from destinations at a time to suit, is a convenience I am expected to subsidise even though I have no car. It will bring me such great comfort, as I sit on an NHS waiting list for treatment, to know that car drivers get to park for free.

    I realise this is probably not a popular viewpoint in this forum, but I can’t help wondering why people have an issue with this. Surely the simple solution is not to drop litter. It’s not difficult.
