    If you look at the empty capacity you could reduce the Market down to two so there could be a win win by having a concentrated footfall

    If the stallholders in all three markets agreed with this and only if, I could go along with that. At least then it would be authentic. The peoples market could complete the car park. The Home Bargains complex is more like an out of town development anyway so that wouldn’t be affected.

    WOT! Not more houses and/or student flats or will it be yet another supermarket. Where will they build the schools and colleges to supply the needs of all the extra families? Will the town centre be next to be demolished?

    I do so hope that our council tax isn’t being used for police presence at council meetings.

    Posted a letter 2nd class yesterday afternoon and had confirmation that it was received this morning. I know that it was reasonably local but even so….

    If Waterworld is closed before a new facility is built we will probably lose our swimming club. Not all parents can afford the time to travel to other venues 5-7 days a week which is probably how often a lot of these youngsters train. They already need to travel if they need to practice in a 50 metre pool as some of the younger ones may need to before their first major galas. Wrexham Swimming Club is well in excess of 100 years old. Probably nearer to 120 without looking it up. We are lucky that coaches are willing to give their time to train these youngsters and we don’t recognise this enough.

    The area where most of the disaster victims were entombed is in the region of the Gresford Flash & the Pant yr Ochain public house.

    When I worked at a shop on Queen Street the same thing happened to us. Firstly there was the Vegetable Market fiasco with the demolition, then the facade had scaffolding all around it, then a substantial part of the road had to be closed off as that became unsafe so all in all it went on for years. Then most of the side facing Queen Street had empty shops for a long time, I am sorry for TE Roberts. They have been there for years. Another local business gone.

    How much money was wasted on applying for city status? Did anyone actually come out and tell us the pro’s & con’s all on the same sheet of paper?
    How much money would be saved if council properties were maintained regularly instead of being allowed to get into such a state of disrepair that things need to be replaced.
    Couldn’t social housing tenants on benefits be loaned equipment to keep their gardens tidy. It may be that then they could grow food for themselves.

    I am not sure which dept. the road signage comes under but do we need to have so many speed limit signs? On the Llay and Mold roads it is ridiculous. Car parking signage in Wrexham is the same. Who pays for speed bumps to be put in place then taken up and then replaced again? I suppose that this is Highways but it still comes out of our money.

    So remind me. Why did we need a prison in Wrexham? What is the benefit to Wrexham? Don’t tell me that we have more criminals than the areas where the prisons are closing.
