‘From the above comment, (something being done earlier) what I don’t understand is you rarely see the same people twice, are they being brought into Wrexham somehow from somewhere ?’
I disagree.
The last 3-years in particular when the problem of NPS crack cocaine and heroin abuse has come into vogue in Wrexham, the offenders are predominantly of local origin. And sadly long-term residents of the Wallich projects and services in the immediate area of the ‘Wrexham Golden Triangle’.
The’Golden Triangle’, being Chester Street, Waterworld, The Library, The Bus Station, Grosvenor Road, and Rhosddu.
They’re all familiar faces. Their names commonly known. Their pictures appearing in the local media, BBC videos etc
The Council identified that a great number of those engaging in anti-social behaviour at the Groves ‘commune’ weren’t homeless. Had addresses etc
Council acted on advice from the various agencies, Police etc who asked people not to give donations etc because it just funded their habits. Basically these people were not homeless. Just people with addictionsand the back of the Library & ‘Needle Park opposite the Police Station.
If it wasn’t for people like Keith Gregory, who regularly go out and clean the areas, the town would be a lot worse off..
I’d have thought that on the grounds of health and safety a multi-storey car park would be obliged to have 24-hour security, or at least an attendant?
In March 2017 one individual decided to sit on the ledge of the top floor in an apparent ‘cry for help’ due to his addictions. As the video shows, individuals are presumably injecting drugs and drinking. That doesn’t bode well for a multi-storey?
It’s not good for commerce in the town either. If you’re discouraged from taking the bus into town because of the much-publicised problems at the Bus Station, but instead decide to use that car park, after being met by that disgusting mess, you’re going to shop elsewhere. Chester, Broughton, Shrewsbury etc.It would be interesting, if someone who knows how to go about it, to pursue a Freedom of Information Act inquiry to Wrexham Police the exact scale of Class A drug abuse in the town?
We’ve all seen the needles at the back of the Library, opposite the Police Station etc etc What is the gravity of the problem in Wrexham? People taken into custody are swabbed etcSo? What’s the score?
It’s a bit of a joke isn’t it?
The defendant had ‘taken Cocaine’. What were the swab results like they do at most RTC’s etc?
He had Cocaine but…’but the amount was not enough to be tested’…Hey?? Is this a joke?
In other countries like Cyprus & Greece, if you’re caught with one spliff, the Hawaii 5 ‘O’ visit you 3 times a year and put sellotape on the carpet looking for traces of weed?
His brief cited he had taken Cocaine, like it’s not his fault? As if he’d taken some heavy-duty drug to aleve or treat an ailment?
And, it’s the ole’ story in Court…’I only take it twice a month’ blah blah blah? How naive are our Magistrates & Judges?It’s alright though. He never took it out of his pocket. Although, CCTV operators could see a big flipping kitchen knife hanging out of his pocket,…..
Unbelievable
This is interesting from across the border…
I’m overjoyed with TF. Superior gear on an Off peak tariff at D.W. They have gifted D.W’s punters. Prompting for extra equipment, extra popular weights, extra benches etc. Quality recognised equipment etc courtesy of TF at the end of the day. And less congestion!! TF. Best thing that could happen for D.W punters. EXCELLENT!!!
Admittedly, it’s Easter….but on TF launch night everyone was OVERJOYED at D.W! Congestion gone in the free-weights area, changing rooms… But, we all agree people will come back.
What a result. Off-peak rates for better gear!!! :yahoo:
THANK YOU TF!!! Really! THANK YOU!!!
Despite thanking TF today for resolving a friend’s membership upset at discovering the new club did not have a circular running track, as advertised on their Club website page, I am now no longer able to comment on their Facebook bulletins. Presumably for raising this issue on wrexham.com. They wouldn’t have removed the picture of a circular running track on their website Wrexham club page if it wasn’t right, would they?
I, and many other people, have also received criticism on their Facebook page for pointing out a ridiculous, and obvious and under-hand marketing campaign by TF employees. People from Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, Liverpool, working at TF Head Office etc…..all TF employees starting threads on the Total Fitness Wrexham Facebook page, and replying to threads etc promoting the new club under the guise of being prospective Wrexham club members.
It’s comparable to restaurant & hotel owners writing their own reviews on Tripadvisor.
In my opinion it’s naughty.
Well done to the TF Wrexham manager. My pal ‘Simon H’ went down there today and he cancelled the membership. Happy days. I also expressed my personal gratitude on the issue via the TF Main Facebook page.
That’s 3 people I know who have signed up before seeing the equipment, visited the venue on Open Weekend, changed their mind and had their membership cancelled.
