Drivers could not have missed new signage that has appeared overnight on key routes into the Wrexham area – with new huge ‘welcome to Wrexham’ signs being installed.

Recently the old purely brown signs, that heralded Wrexham as the home of the University, were removed leaving the three bare poles.

In coordinated work that has seen various maintenance and grass cutting taking place, the installation of the new welcome signs has occurred.

The new signs are taller than those replaced, with a picture used for the first time – of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site.

Chair of the Tourism Partnership, the Lemon Tree’s Sam Regan, told us: “With confidence in the tourism industry in Wrexham growing, its fantastic to see Wrexham Council’s new signage going in place showcasing one of the regions greatest assets.”

Destination Manager at Wrexham Council, Joe Bickerton, told us: “The new signage looks really good and offers a great first impression to motorists driving into the County.”

“Our World Heritage Site is the jewel in the crown of our tourism offer and has put Wrexham County on the international map – so adding reference to this on our new gateway signage will only strengthen the awareness that we’ve got world class attractions here in Wrexham.”

Previous signage has referred to Wrexham as being the ‘home of Glyndwr University’, with the below white and brown editions used:
