Ah thanks for that Sheefag, your soooooooooo clever
I would put a smiley face if I could work that one out.Zinger, I wish that we could do just that, but as last night showed it seems WBC are just going to plough ahead even with no end of objections. And now they will get these vast housing developments passed and blame the Welsh Assembly strategy for Wales, so that their conscience’s are clear.
I hope that no Labour Councillor comes knocking on my door for a vote !!We ( yes we Sheefag) as there is not just me !! have started a twitter campaign as well as an action group against the Gresford Road development which is even more houses than Ruabon on green field, but will it enough, I doubt it, but I/WE for one will fight it to the bitter end to stop the destruction of our countryside being destroyed forever and the local services that are already under pressure in our local community.
Zinger I wanted to put a like on The Monitors post but where did that one go !!.
Monitor, this is exactly what is happening at Gresford Road, Llay. We are all fed up of the developer telling us how great it will be for Llay. All we see is that once this development gets passed then it’s only a matter of time that others will try their luck across the road and down the rest of the straight mile. We note that another land owner is selling land along the straight mile, I wonder why !!!
The LDP plan is being re-written and I can only worry that WBC will adapt it to now include building on green field sites and also start changing settlement boundaries to try and get planning granted for such sites, as at the moment they would technically have to vote against their own rules.
Well I for one don’t vote Labour, which I am assuming is what you were thinking. I run my own business, employ 5 people, pay corporation tax, Pay Employer NI contributions for 5 members of staff. What does living in Llay or North Wales for that matter make a difference. I would class my self as professional, along with many others who live in Llay, Wales etc, but I choose to live in Wales and am proud to be Welsh, and thats my personal choice. My office is in Chester, so pay business rates in England. You cannot assume that everybody in Wales is as you think, and so what if they all want to vote Labour or for anybody else for that matter, it’s their choice, whether they live in Wales or not.
Both my grandfathers worked down Llay Main Pit and were staunch Labour voters, am I to condemn them for that !! Absolutely not. I am proud of them as I am proud to be Welsh and should not have to apologise for it to you or anybody else.Choice is what we all have, but no matter who you vote for you still don’t get a choice in where you tax goes.

Zinger, I’m not sneering at working parents, I’m simply stating a fact. Kids used to walk or catch a bus to School, the free bus concept is something that sprung up after the war.
If people want better public services then they need to pay more tax and be more vociferous over how that tax is spent but that is in fairness a subject for a different discussion.
I think most would disagree that we all need to pay more tax, and when was the last time you were asked personally how you want you tax spending. Most people have no choice but to pay tax through PAYE, we don’t get a choice on what happens after its gone into the big pot.

If you are making reference to the inward migration then Wales would have run out of people to sustain itself about 8 years ago. By that I men if you reverse the trend of inward migration either from England or a foreign country the health service, many manufacturing plants, construction projects would nit be here today. Before you say the unemployed could take the jbs — do you want an unqualified unemployed person to perform an operation on you in the hospital or an untrained electrician.
Even if all the unemployed people had skills we needed based on the population of eight years ago we would have aprox 4,000 job vacancies in the region,
The fact is the deamand for peole to keeo our society sustauable cannot be met from within WalesI am unsure how this was read or misconstrued, but it certainly had nothing to do with Inward Migration. If you look at the thread (Speedy Cars) I for one made comments about that point, sorry I am unsure how to quote from one thread to another, but if you read it you will see how I feel on this point.
My concerns are not borne out of any ill feeling towards any part of our Wrexham community, just a fear about the growth of our communities without the growth of the infrastructure to go with it.
I am sure I am not the only genuinely concerned person about what is happening in the Maelor for instance, these things are all relevant to growth.The reality is “They will close the door after the horse has bolted”, and it will be up the local residents already living in the area to fight their corner for all local facilities. WBC are already millions in the red and cutting just about service they can, do you really think that they will have the funds to do what we all think they should do. I don’t think so.
There is a major problem encouraging doctors to come to Wales, they cannot simply ignore that fact if they do decide to build new GP surgeries etc.
In my family alone, my mum is waiting for a new knee and has been told it will be 12 – 18 months on the waiting list. A work college has been waiting for a Urology appointment for over a year and has just been given an appointment in Bangor !We cannot simply ignore what will surely affect each and every one of us living in Wrexham.
The Leader – News from Wrexham & Flintshire – Thousands of new homes on way in Wrexham?
Presume they are going to build a new hospital, new schools, new Doctors Surgeries, and generally a complete new infrastructure to go with them all.
There is a Archaeological dig going on in the fields at present. Lots of large trenches being dug up. Lots of activity !
They seem to have mapped out large areas and are working in the trenches this morning.
We know that the Caravan Park across from the fields was once a Cadw site as being part of some sort of Hill Fort( Y Gaer Earthworks) but it seems is no longer part of Cadw.Makes you wonder what they are looking for.
Clwyd Powys Archeological Society were on the land a couple of weeks ago, so maybe they found something then.There was mention of a Roman road at one time, possibly being The Straight Mile, but we have been unable to find anything.
