Noice clean look, but no accessibility tools, background too bright, poorly chosen fonts. Just the same as most sites. B-)

“I am very pleased to be able to present this report to Executive Board. It follows months of work by officers and members which included a consultation process with other North Wales authorities.
“I am confident that the proposals will give us a CCTV system that is up to date with the added bonus of being able to offer WiFi hotspots in the town centre.
“I hope members will support the proposals which will help towards our priority of ensuring that Wrexham is a place where people feel, and are, safe and secure.”
Translation: If we offer free WiFi, we can hide the fact that someone is to blame for the purchase of the original CCTV equipment. We have buildings around the town that could offer WiFi now (and do) but we still need to get CCTV Equipment that works.
If I add the premise that CCTV will keep us safe, no one will ask the question why the purchase of original CCTV was so poor.
Spot on Cerys.

No. The end of March is when they are due to be finished.
Unfortunately they have just announced that the roadworks will need an extra 6 weeks to complete, and the hope to finish end of May.

All dog poo is clearly cleaned up quickly these days
It’s taken Wrexham CBC over a week and they still cannot find it. I’ve reported this issue twice and Wrexham CBC have yet to sort it, but instead just closed the job. This is in a housing estate, and lot of people seem to find the poo when walking along pavements.
You would think the same of the university but they paid a consultant to review their staffing structure.The cost of restructuring over the past 4-5 years has been around £1 million to save an estimated £2 million. Its not clear how much went to the one company. This is the legacy the retiring VC has left!

So, NJones, they SEEM to be supporting the drilling work at the site or perhaps they are assisting in clearing up the mess caused by the out of town professional protesters who occupied the site. Either way, they are not, as far as I am able to ascertain, doing anything illegal – just carrying out their day to day business. And if the business is there, take it.
In the whole matter of Fracking, I am totally ambivalent but I would be really interested to know how many of the local anti fracking lobby actually occupied the site prior to the injunction being served. Or, as is usually the case in protests, make a lot of noise but fail to turn words into deeds and actions.
I feel sure that someone can supply the answer.Yes, BenjaminM, they SEEM to accessing the site which is under 24hr guard by the company the bailiffs appointed with their vehicles being driven on the secured site when a delivery of welfare unit arrived as shown in videos available on the internet. With the company owners living not far down the road at Hugmore Lane, its possible that the owners of Trade Effluent Services Ltd aren’t actually aware of what they are getting themselves involved with. They may get rich from a contract to remove the thousands of tonnes of polluted waste water to one of the 2 or 3 treatment sites in the UK that is licensed to deal with it, and need lots of trucks and drivers to do this, but they may too get ill from all these 600 odd chemicals used in the process.
I was one of those protesters- hardly ‘out of town’, but yes members of the local community were supported by people from all over the UK, who are experienced in raising awareness, and they continue to support us to ensure we have a voice. If you recall the planning for this site was turned down by the local authority and local councillors, and they stand with us to try and get our voice heard.
The meetings are getting attendance of around 150 people and thanks to social media a lot of people are regularly visiting the new camp to supply hardware and food. I suggest you get yourself on facebook and look at the camp, or pop down yourself.
There was no statement to suggest they are doing anything illegal, but it has been documented in the past that the company with permission to drill an ‘exploratory well’ have then gone on to drill further than their permission allowed which can cause problems in the water table. When another local company was told what the site actually was they hooked up their trailer and left.
Local company Trade Effluent Services Ltd of Hugmore House, Hugmore Lane, Llan-y-pwll, Wrexham seem to be supporting the drilling work at the site with their vehicles being seen on site as evidenced in videos. Living so close to the site are they unaware of the potential problems should fracking go ahead, or are they considering their profits?

It’s now two years or more since the lane markings and signage were changed for traffic leaving the eastbound A483 and heading towards Plas Coch.
It used to be that all Wrexham bound traffic was told to use the right hand lane, but it was changed (and there are signs to indicate this) so that Plas Coch bound traffic should use the left-hand lane up the slip road and then the middle lane at the next set of lights before using the left hand lane to leave the roundabout.
Every time I do this, I am cut up by people moving from right to left in the section over the A483.
What’s more, they seem to think that I am in the wrong and they are in the right.
Time for the highway authority to put a line of contraflow posts between the two lanes, I think.
Trouble is others getting onto the bypass from town for chester wouldn’t be able to then. Its a similar issue when leaving town towards Chester, you get two lanes of traffic waiting at the lights, both lanes can go for the bypass, or both lanes can go for town. One day someone is going to get squashed for using their usual route and someone crossing in front po f them.
