Public Vote For Name of Wrexham’s New Arts & Market Facility Begins Next Week

Members of the public will soon be able cast their vote for their preferred name for Wrexham’s brand new £4.5 million arts and market facility.

The top three suggestions for names, which were put forward at a recent workshop held with various stakeholders, will be made public at an information event at the Guildhall on Monday 3rd July.

Wrexham Council say that the names will then be going to various venues across the county borough for the public to vote for their favourite. The public can vote for their favourite name at:

– Cafe in the Corner in the South Arcade
– Oriel Wrecsam on Chester Street
– Wrexham County Borough Museum
– Wrexham Library, the Tourist Information Centre
– Contact Wrexham,
– Plas Pentwyn, Brynteg, Acton, Gwersyllt and Llay Resource Centres

Those visiting the Wrexham Street Festival on 29th July and the Play Day on 2nd August will also have the chance to vote. However there doesn’t appear to be the option to cast your vote online.

Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for the public to engage with this unique project that will soon be opening its doors to the public.

“It will be interesting to hear which one emerges as favourite and I will be reporting the outcome of the voting to Executive Board in September.”

The project is supported by funding from the Arts Council for Wales, the Welsh Government’s Vibrant and Viable Places and Wrexham County Borough Council.

A celebratory launch event for the whole family is also planned for 2 April 2018 which will see an old Wrexham tradition revived for Dydd Llun Pawb (Everybody’s Monday).
