This is a good suggestion. I like it. There would be some kind of lottery funding/Welsh Government funding available for something like this.
As if Travelodge is going to take on the Groves site.
1) It’s not close enough to any of the A483 exits – strategically that’s where they’ll be looking to make a placement.
2) It would cost them far too much – many millions to convert the inner structure of the Groves into hotel rooms – cheaper for them to put up a modern building from scratch
3) It’s too close to St John’s House – now this on its own is not too much of a problem but given the fact that a homeless camp ended up on the Groves site nearby with concerns over drug usage. Anyone with commercial sense will flag this up as a red alert over the levels of homeless and drug taking activity that would be considered undesirable to those looking to stay at the Travelodge.
Don’t get me wrong some of these issues would also affect anything else being put there also. However, the state of affairs that has occurred which has led to the site becoming completely undesirable is wilful mismanagement of the site as led by the current Executive Board who have dedicated many millions in mothballing & legal challenges to allow it to rot as a tantrum to not being allowed to demolish it.
Alun is right in the respect that we need to completely reverse the major educational failings in the town centre for secondary education as we are continuously failing the next generation of workers.
If you can’t afford to get your children to somewhere like Penley every day then you are forced to send your children to piss poor secondary schools located in town that don’t have enough funding despite continuously increased budgets from both the council and the WAG. They can’t attract teachers of a sufficient standard. It is basically a massive poverty trap and those who claim to be running the town should be hanging their heads in shame at the grave failings they have instilled on our younger generations and the less well off.

China are planning to land on the far side of the moon and they could take some of their Wrexham ‘Twins’ with them.
I have already submitted a list for consideration (Sorry Matt, you never made the cut!)
[/quote]Now Councillor, clearing out your least favourite patrons of Wetherspoons & strategically locating them permanently out of sight, just so you can get served quicker at the bar might be good in the short term, but the fewer takings will mean inevitable price hikes in the long run.
I have a few small tweaks to make to that statement to reflect the very reality of nature:
The benefit scroungers of Wrexham, (like most scroungers) live mainly on handouts and charity so while they are concentrating on themselves other people are working to feed them meaning they are, basically, beggars. They are of little use in this world other than to themselves and perhaps, at times, to others as entertainment (see Channel 5 poverty porn, Jeremy Kyle). Only my opinion of course.

Unemployment being at its lowest for years is a phony figure as it includes millions of workers on zero hours contracts who do not receive sufficient levels of employment to sustain a decent living in this country.
That said – by looking at everything through Brexit tinted glasses isn’t constructive either. As you know I’m hardly pro Brexit, but there is absolutely no reason why sufficient numbers of local individuals can’t fill the carer roles required across the board? If we’re not capable as a Welsh nation of looking after everyone who needs to be, what can we do?
It’s just a case of encouraging the right number of people at college age into doing the right qualifications & those looking to retrain or get a job after a spell of being a full time parent into these roles.
I don’t think Brexit is going to be great, but it’s high time we all grew a backbone & stopped using it as an excuse or beating stick about why every single thing is failing in Wales. Don’t give me problems, give me solutions.
Only in this country’s ridiculous Health and Safety environment would an absolute masterpiece of architecture & engineering listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site be criticised over some industry standards because some idiot might end up killing themselves.
The fault is not in the structure – it’s in the human beings involved in utter stupidity. That’s Darwin in action. I know let’s smoke 2 spliffs, impair judgement then try and Spider-Man the outside of the Aqueduct.
What next ban stairs in public places because some people might take them 2 at a time & slip & fall?
