Great multi-agency response around Wrexham today following #StormChristoph especially from @NWPolice officers and this local farmer helping residents to safety.
Latest TAC dated 15th & released today (LINK) - contains stat we asked First Minister about on 15th "13% are not isolating at all when they develop symptoms, 16% are only isolating for 1-5 days, and 9% are only isolating for 6-9 days” (LINK)
Latest heat map from the TAC ( (LINK) ) again it seems the scale has slightly changed if looking back at this thread at the historic ones
@E16KW It doesn’t feel right when @wrexham residents are doing so much to recycle and no domestic waste from the county goes there.
Bernie lost interest in sitting outside the Racecourse so he's moved to the Turf @wrexham He's still not moving until the takeover of @wrexham_AFC is complete.

Last night the centre was used to accommodate local residents from Bangor-on-Dee and elsewhere who were affected by flooding, in our role as an emergency evacuation venue.
This again highlights the role the centre plays as an important hub for residents in Wrexham.
@wrexham
Severe flood risk: Emergency services are asking residents of Bangor on Dee to evacuate properties and proceed to Ysgol Sant Dunawd immediately.
DO NOT try to leave the area yourself. 4x4 vehicles will be utilised by emergency services to evacuate residents from the school.
We have issued a severe flood warning for Bangor on Dee. Latest every 15 mins. (LINK)

#FloodAware
@NigelSouthsea @wrexham The grid at the end of lower mill drive has been damaged (blocked ) for years nothing done soon as the water come over from the old wrec (bowling green us first few residents got it in our houses fuming is not the word 😡
So I live next to a field that has planning permission in Rossett and want to build on but this was our garden today? I wonder what will occur if/when they have houses on said field! @wrexham
@wrexham He was not helping a teenager, my teenage son was helping him to evacuate people. The teenager in question is my 14 year old son who has been out all evening helping to sand bag houses and carry belongings for people who have been evacuated!
@wrexham That young man in the video has been out all night helping sandbag houses and evacuate the elderly. He's my Grandson and I'm very proud 😍
Horrendous day for New Broughton village, flood waters up to 3ft deep. mountain rescue in attendance having to rescue vulnerable people by boat from bungalows. People having to take shelter in Southsea church. @wrexham
Some added context to this vid has been given, told that the takeaway driver had driven through coned off road that had been shut for around two hours - and almost collided with a member of the fire service who was helping a teenager - and conducting ongoing rescues. (LINK)
@wrexham 90 year old grandfather has been left in one of those properties. Has been advised to call 999 if water levels rise, I understand services are stretched but with water at the door and seeping in he should be a priority for evacuation.
@wrexham weathers going from one extreme to another 🤣 one hour it’s torrential rain the next it’s snowing (and settling!)
@wrexham be careful on holt road just after the speed camera heading towards town, just smacked my wheel on this. 😑
@wrexham The fire service could be helping people who’s houses are flooded if they didn’t have to waste time on stupid people.
Latest from Council - “The amount of water in places is very deep, up to waist height. Please don’t ignore road closed signs. We have evacuated some properties in New Broughton with the assistance of mountain rescue due to high water levels.” More here 👉 (LINK)
“What are you doing?” Firm / exasperated exchange between fire service and a driver in New Broughton tonight. Fire service after mentioned person was trying to deliver food and could not understand why it was a problem. (More: (LINK) )
Anyone know where people with disabilities can go if house is flooding in @wrexham please?
No hotels will take them only key workers @wrexhamcbc not answering phone
@wrexham half an hour ago I was brushing water away to stop my shed from flooding now we have thick fast snow #minera
@wrexham absolute nightmare in new broughton, kitchen, fridge ,garage, carpet all ruined and not one bit of help from the authorities! 😡😡
Have been sent these pics from New Broughton in the last few minutes where the fire service are helping out due to the floods
Drivers using the lanes of Erbistock to get to/from Ruabon please be aware they are single track lanes with very few passing places that also have a lot of flood water, I was faced with a surge of oncoming traffic after taking supplies to an elderly relative! @wrexham
Thank you to all of our wonderful foodbank volunteers, especially these three ladies who ran the session in a car park in the pouring rain this afternoon!
@wrexham It’s not just blocking roads. It’s flooding peoples houses! People are are ringing to request sand bags and the calls are going unanswered. Sort it WCBC!
@wrexham In favour of protecting core services, but these raises feel like death by a thousand cuts. I'm aware the settlement from Cardiff is sub-par, but there needs to be a point of redress beyond raising tax. Quality of core services are declining markedly, too.
Council say "All available resources are being deployed across the county to deal with significant rainfall and surface water blocking many roads” (LINK) (LINK)
Looks like council tax is going to go up - is it a "small price to pay" to "protect core services" that "we will need more than ever" as we emerge from the pandemic hopefully soon? (LINK)
@wrexham
And it's only been getting worse. Wonder when the last time @wrexhamcbc unclogged the drains? Is that information that could be gained via FOI?
Cllr David A Bithell Lead Member Environment and Transport met with NRW earlier today - he said “I was disappointed only a 'warning letter' was given as the extent of the fire was significant” (LINK)
River levels in Wrexham are very high at the moment with many roads flooded. The river here in Bersham is at road height now. Please drive to the conditions and do not ignore road closures.
Llongyfarchiadau/Congratulations to 46th President of the United States @JoeBiden and Vice President @KamalaHarris on their Inauguration. I look forward to strengthening the ties between Wales and the US and tackling our shared challenges with you.
Officers are on foot patrol across the Wrexham Town area, we're here for you whatever the weather! Please stay home & stay safe! #WrexhamTown #HereForYouWhateverTheWeather #HereToKeepYouSafe #StayHome #StaySafe

@wrexham road flooded before Morrison’s carful it’s quite deep, on LHS from Coedpoeth.

...adds "In order to avoid adding to the current severe pressure on hospitals, it is extremely important that everyone continues to remain vigilant, by staying at home and sticking to the rules."
Dr Giri Shankar, Incident Director at PHW said: “While there has been a reduction in the numbers of positive Coronavirus cases in several parts of Wales, this data needs to be verified over several days before we can be sure that it is showing an established downward trend."

BTP Investigating Officer Jon Liptrot said: “Violent behaviour towards members of rail staff will absolutely not be tolerated under any circumstances” (LINK)

Rumours floating about most of the day on this one - Senedd Commission investigation underway “We are aware of an incident on the Senedd estate last month which may have been contrary to public health regulations in force at the time." (LINK)
Middle of town - early afternoon and deserted 😢 @wrexham @lagerwxm @ThisIsWrexham @wrexham_AFC @northwaleslive @ItsYourWales @WalesOnline @BBCWalesNews @NorthWalesTweet #StaySafe
Latest football club takeover update: "Last week the board concluded negotiation of the Share Purchase Agreement with RR McReynolds LLC and have exchanged contracts” completion yet to happen - with FCA looking at it. So not a done deal yet.
@nicki_hughes Hopefully not needed soon - new info today "From Thursday, Public Health Wales will start the process of publishing more granular surveillance data on numbers vaccinated” starts over 80s etc and then growing from there
Does anyone in @wrexham know if anywhere is taking clothes donations? I know mostly everywhere is closed at the moment but any suggestions would be great :)
We are still seeing an increased amount of fly tipping across the county borough, as well as rubbish being left in communal areas. Please help us to keep our communities tidy. All 3 of our skip sites are open for you to take your rubbish. #wrexham #housing

A clear statement from UK government Ministers @Simonhartmp and @nadhimzahawi that @WelshGovernment will have all the vaccines it needs. Time now for Welsh Govt to speed up vaccine distribution in #ClwydSouth @wrexham and the rest of #Wales. (LINK)
Myself & @nadhimzahawi have been clear that Wales will receive all of the vaccines it needs to vax the over 70’s & vulnerable groups by mid Feb. Welsh Gov Health Minister has also committed to delivering. As one UK we are making huge progress in our fight against this virus.

Our vaccination programme in Wales is going from strength to strength. Every day we're vaccinating thousands more people as we step up the biggest vaccination effort in Wales' history.
Watch my update on the current situation in Wales below 📽️👇
Big thread from WG over vaccine issue.
Friday to us: “that 250,000 doses is going last for six weeks and that’s why you haven’t seen it all used in week one because we have got to space it out over the weeks that it’s got to cover.””
Today: “We’re not holding back any vaccines” (LINK)
As of today all frontline staff at the Welsh Ambulance Service have been offered a vaccination.
Our priority is to ensure that our frontline NHS health care workers are vaccinated as soon as possible.
The First Minister has reiterated what he said in a reply to a question from us on Friday - today the BMA and others have reacted (LINK)
Vaccinations break the 150k mark (now at 151737) . Wrexham’s day on day figures still biggest +135 with positive test percentage of 28.1%. The seven day rolling day on day benchmark figure now to the 13th of Jan 792.2 per 100k still highest. (LINK)
