    Yesterday morning Council employee with strimmer out cutting grass around the Council Offices on Ruthin Road — again I wonder how many cuts they are scheduled for

    Damn, damn council! Although I guess they can’t win in many respects. They have upped the cutting schedule yet still get criticised. Personally, I’m fed up of this topic now. If the verges happen to surround a council building then they should be cut to make the town as a whole more presentable just like anywhere else. Maybe you should ask them to supply their cutting schedule dylan before suggesting they are favouring council buildings.

    Problem the council has is cutting outside council offices etc looks like they’re looking after themselves.

    Don’t really see how this benefits the council..its mainly students who use the green with most of them leaving a litter trail behind to prove it!

    I think you are reaching somewhat to suggest non attendence = non agreement with the role of mayor!

    Quite agree with all of these posts. Wrexham is my hometown and I will defend it against any criticism, however, I can’t help feeling it is becoming a less desireable place to live. I’ve worked in town for 25 years, and I am saddened by the increase, over the past 3 years or so, of the amount of adults clearly drunk or under the influence of God-knows-what wandering around the Town. I see the same faces every day. I was in cafe nero at approx 4pm yesterday and whilst there, I observed 8 people in Queens Square sharing a bottle of some cheap alcohol, shouting,swearing and generally being anti-social. I thought there was a no alcohol policy in Town? If not, there should be. If I know who these people are, why do the Authorities not seem to know? This is an aside from the establishments that prey on peoples addictions such as the abundant bookmakers and (some) of the disgusting pubs/clubs in the Town centre who take no responsibility for the behaviour of the louts they eject at 4am absolutely smashed on cheap booze. I know we’ve all been there and made booze related mistakes, but I’ve never felt the need to stamp on someone’s head and then offer the defence that I was so drunk I had no recollection of the incident! I know all places have a rough element, but this is OUR Town. We need a zero policy on anti-social behaviour in the daytime. We need better regulated pubs and clubs and a more visible police presence to sort out the rougher element.

    Read on dylan. It says if you cannot download the leaflet then ring the council and they will send you a hard copy.

    It crossed my mind that there was a huge saving! Now black and white rather than colour printing, thinner paper , no pamphlet explaining what the money is to be spent on and second class post. All things the Council could have done years ago and in house!

    Just received mine so now know what you’re talking about. Don’t really see the issue. It tells me what to pay and when. Its a lot less cluttered than the old one and I don’t have to bother depositing the pamphlet in the recycling bin. Read the back and it tells you where you can download the info from if you miss it that much!:)
