    Ridiculous situation, costing jobs in the building trade and supply chain. Welsh government as usual dragging their feet with no rush to sort, any summit should have been held months and months ago. Usual blaming it on global warming when its the obvious agricultural run off and animal faeces that’s the main cause as it always has been.

    It will probably end up with another bill for the homeowner to pay or some sort of levy on new house prices to line the pockets of water companies and their cronies.

    The problems we have are the Council as a whole think its ok to spend money on fancy projects without a thought as to the costs involved and Councillors who tweet pictures of unbelievably poor work paid for by us the tax payer actually expecting praise !!!. I would rather you actually complain about the quality of work carried out.

    Planning is a joke we have a planning committee so far behind the times its wasting a fortune on appeal costs just because they take it personal, watching on webcast is cringeworthy.

    Look around Mr and Mrs Councillor, stop playing your bloody politics, Wrexham is dying on its feet, do something, earn your pay.

    Matt, as much as I agree in principle to what you say, to be frank It’s not your mum and she certainly is not entitled. Just patiently waiting for that Fu%%%ng loon in charge to pull his finger out of his arse and get his act together instead of preening himself in tv interviews.

    Wales and we all deserve better than him and his political point scoring.

    And some are sick of people saying wait your turn. All my mums siblings, 2 in their early 80s and 2 in their late 70s have all been vaccinated. 2 of them over a week ago. They all live in England, mum who is the oldest lives in Wrexham and is still waiting to hear anything at all.

    That’s our Welsh Government for you, incredibly inept and led by a man who would sell his soul for a political point.

    Its correct that not everyone has the luxury of having purchased all there presents yet, still 5 days to go before Xmas Day. Friday was the last day in work for lots and they would be looking to sort presents etc the next few days.

    The thing that really gets me is the blame the people attitude of the high and mighty, most and I really mean most have done their best to adhere to the rules, there will always be some who have and will continue to flout the rules, that’s the nature of the beast.
    If the so-called Firebreak had worked, even though we knew it would not then Drakeford would have been Waltzing around preening himself. It didn’t and he just blamed us for it.

    Shops and businesses have spent a small fortune on Covid security and done their absolute best to be safe. I have nothing but admiration for the front-line workers and shop staff who from my experience have been courteous polite and managed a difficult time tremendously well. Delivery staff again have done a fantastic job and deserve massive praise. Hospital staff and Nurses, it goes without saying deserve our admiration for their continued dedication and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.

    Families have arranged their Xmas, like us and most they have sensibly considered and minimised the risks and were looking forward to some festive cheer. Sadly, not going to happen for lots now and the mental anguish continues at completely the wrong time of year. For some luckily, we have the internet and the ability to at least see our close family, but others not so lucky will I am afraid lose out.

    WrexhamUser, little bit harsh on Jane. True she is a bit doom and gloom, but her heart is in the right place. We all want what is best for our friends and family and all hope even if we end up catching the virus, we either have mild symptoms or at least recover well.
    Jane if you work in the Maelor then you will know full well the problem is not lack of beds but the severe lack of staff on the Red Covid wards, Agency staff refuse or are reluctant to work on a Red ward as they know it means they are then unable to work on other wards due to infection control. Hospitals according to official figures are no busier than any other winter but so many staff are isolating those left are worn out and actually scared that patients are not receiving the care they deserve.

    Dripford has now got the bit between his teeth and after blaming everybody bar himself for the increase in infections, he now has the so-called new strain to blame and is using it to well and truly finish off the small retailers after letting them buy all their xmas stock. Words fail me as to his audacity.

    Really looking forward to his apology to most of the population of Wales who have done there best to follow his ridiculous rules and regulations, but obviously wont hold my breath.
    The decision to bring lockdown forward to Midnight tonight will finally ruin xmas for many who have not got presents especially for the Children sorted, even that strange woman in Scotland realises last minute shopping is a lifelong tradition at xmas and is waiting until Boxing day before Lockdown, and the latest news flash!! Drakeford urges people not to rush to the shops and panic buy!!!

    What did you think was going to happen you absolute first-class idiot!!

    Two words I truly wish with all my heart that I never hear again, Brexit and Covid.

    Having been raised in a family that relied on FSM because we really were poor, I will always endeavor to agree that no child should go hungry. The difficult part is making sure the money goes to feed the children. There was a stigma when we used to queue up at separate sides of the dining hall to the paying kids but at least we had our dinner.
    These days it seems they give the money in weekly or monthly installments with parents then paying for dinners, obviously leading to some spending it on other things. Pre Covid,and Marcus Rashford pushing for them, free school meals have as far as I’m aware never been paid in holiday times, please correct me if I’m wrong. Incidentally,Marcus Rashford, don’t you just love it when someone is a socialist with tax payers money, but a capitalist with his own.
    The fire break is Drakeford and his cohort ruining our economy and making the poor poorer, but perhaps as Jane says he done something beneficial for a change or more likely he just has to do the opposite regardless.

    Anyway personally I agree that no child should go hungry ever and I would beg, steal or borrow before any of mine would.

    The Man is a complete and utter lunatic. Just in case any small business managed to get through the last few months without bankruptcy, lets finish them off with a Firebreak, he even had to invent a stupid name. Its a LOCKDOWN and nothing else.

    How does destroying livelihood’s, creating mental health issues and blighting children’s education ever count as looking after the population of Wales.
    If it’s that bad how the hell does it make sense to wait 5 days to impose a lockdown, it wont work and he knows it but when nothing changes, unless of course they fiddle the figures,then they will just blame us for not following the rules.

    It’s just a political game for him , lying through his teeth that it wasn’t decided until this morning when everyone knows different. Most of the populated areas of Wales has been in local lockdown for weeks and made no difference. Drakeford and his cohort will never understand the damage they are doing to Wales and the really sad thing is, it won’t make a blind bit of difference to Covid.

    Did not work first time and wont work if they do it again. Soon as we open up again cases will rise. Always the shock headlines of x amount tested positive, never the mention of how 98% of last weeks positives are over it this week after FOLLOWING THE RULES and isolating.
