PCSO's JONES and MAGNESS have been on patrol around OFFA and Brickfield park tonight. #hereforyou #onthebeat #Heddlu
Volunteers have been busy again in Southsea. Photos show before and after over 2 months, we have cleared out the river, cut back trees/bushes, painted railings and planted 1000 spring bulbs. @wrexham
It also gives pointers to the future, a "second phase" with "new, simpler, national approach to behaviours and restrictions" and "simpler messaging and regulations" that could see the travel restrictions removed. Will see how that is interpreted over the coming weeks.
Think this is the first time such age data has been published. Doc also has output of modelling on the impact of 2 or 3 week 'fire break' in terms of estimated death figures.
One of the longer Technical Advisory Cell documents has just been published "Wales is now in material breach of several of the circuit breakers agreed in the summer” PDF here: (LINK)
@karldm1 Hopefully it is something that can be ironed out, presumably the aim is people can to access testing as easily as possible without financial disincentives however small. People parking in Tesco etc and walking through when possibly symptomatic can’t be a good thing.
Own up, who has tried to drive through the Memorial Hall? (and it is a bit rubbish that people have to pay to park to get a test if they are booked in first thing before the free parking kicks in at 11) (LINK)
@cbradshaw1984 @TomW18 Exactly 👍 Loads of recent references from WG on social media too (LINK)
Covid-19 is still here.
So there are different zones within hospitals to keep Covid and non-Covid patients separate.
This protects patients and staff and helps patients be confident that they can receive their treatments safely.
@cbradshaw1984 @TomW18 We checked the terminology at the start, and it was defined as a local due to the per-county restrictions so not even regional or the like. People not keen, but it is a Welsh Gov phrase / term.
@cbradshaw1984 @TomW18 Not true eg. (LINK) “local lockdown” top first column, you click that or local coronavirus restrictions at the top it takes you to url with ‘local-lockdown’. The page then has a a H1 “Local Lockdown” and refers to lockdown 53 times - Then each FAQ 8 or 9 more.
As Minister for DIY in Wrexham, I feel it is appropriate that we have a B&Q @wrexham update in light of today's announcements. You'll not be surprised to hear that the car park is absolutely rammed currently. RAMMED...
Join us live at 5pm when Health Minister, @vaughangething will answer your questions about the latest coronavirus situation in Wales and the upcoming ‘fire break’.
Wrexham and Flintshire both showing as +46 on the day on day stats. The seven day rolling to the 16th has Wrexham at 178.7 per 100k. (LINK)
Coronavirus levels are rising quickly everywhere in Wales.
We must act now, to protect our NHS and save lives.
Today we’ve announced a 17 day national #firebreak period, starting Friday 23 October.
We will all need to follow these rules 👇
- Stay home.
- Only go out for food, education, care, health, work or exercise.
- You must not meet people you do not live with either indoors or outdoors, including in gardens.
*There are exceptions for people who live alone.
Please see below a letter from the Headteacher. This has been emailed to all parents this afternoon.
Looks like another busy time for the council’s finance department as there will be more business rates grants being given out in a prompt manner (LINK)
Updated with more info from WG "Businesses affected by the firebreak will be supported with a new £300m fund, which will open next week” (LINK)
Lots of questions about what this will mean - this has appeared on the Welsh Gov website - worth a read (LINK)
Childcare services can also remain open during the two week period.
Primary schools will reopen the week after half term during the “firebreak”, however only students in years seven and eight will return in secondary schools.
BMA Cymru Wales says it welcomes the fire break lockdown, stating "With the worrying increase in infections showing no signs of slowing, it is necessary that more stringent lockdown measures are put in place to protect the Welsh NHS and to save lives. "
He said the advantages of the firebreak will not be seen immediately in the two week period, but in the weeks following.
Asked if can guarantee if this will end on the 9th of November, the first minister confirmed that it is a fixed period and it will end on that date.
The first minister says a “firebreak period is our best chance of regaining control of the virus” and avoiding a larger national lockdown. He adds this is the “moment to come together and play our part, and do everything we can to protect the NHS and save lives"
Like March, all non-essential retail, hospitality and tourism will close during the two week “firebreak" period.
BREAKING: Wales to enter a “two week firebreak” which will see people once again asked to stay at home: (LINK)

Wrexham's MS in the room (nothing interesting on the zoomed in bit of the chat) First Minister live at 12:17pm. Going by social media it seems people would be more surprised if there *isn't* a circuit or fire break announced. (LINK)

Don’t forget social distancing still applies. When you’re taking the kids to school make sure you keep 2 metres apart from other families – we know it’s hard but together we’re helping to #KeepWalesSafe
So after all that bluster last week about the 'slate wall', here I am in my office in Wrexham, having crossed the border on the way in, with my colleague who lives in central Birkenhead sitting two metres away from me.

@BellisBrothers @wrexham Thanks for a lovely time pumpkin picking! Staff were great and made sure everything was Covid safe too. I’m glad it was busy and all the pumpkins didn’t have to go to waste ☺️.
People still spreading the virus to others, and more will be passing it around locally this week as well. Break the chains of transmission.
Wrexham +55 on the day on day figures with a positive proportion of tests 13.6%. The seven day figures up to the 15th now read 175.8 per 100k (LINK)
PCSO Emma Roden is back out on her travels again, Can you guess where she is today? #Wrexham #NPTpatrols
People asked to "consider celebrating at home instead of going out and about” as "there are people who find Halloween distressing at the best of times, and who might find that the uncertainty of the current situation has heightened feelings of anxiety” (LINK)
following three hours of hard graft, on reflection I should have taken a picture of the before and after exercise. My thanks to all. Stay safe for you all in Hermitage. Cheers Graham
Evening Hermitage, trust this tweet finds you well and keeping safe. This morning saw myself and three of my colleagues clearing up the overgrown area by Bodhyfryd school leading into Range Road, proof of the pudding is in the eating and here is the proof of what was achieved

@TriTim @wrexham @RobTrav It was Denbighshire up to the early seventies, then changed to Clwyd then Wrexham county borough
@wrexham random question. Is Wrexham still apart of Denbighshire? If it was when did it change? Myself I’ve always known it to be
Wrexham
Wrexham
Anyone shed some light on that?
Thank you for everything you're doing to #KeepWalesSafe.
Your efforts have helped us slow down the spread of coronavirus, but it's still increasing.
As a result, the local restrictions in place across 15 areas of Wales remain in place.

We are out and about in #Wrexham. We are engaging with the public around COVID-19 regulations and requirements.
Glad to see not many passengers out tonight.
Earlier today I visited #HoltGarden allotment to hear how they’ve benefited from @TNLComFundWales funding 👨🏼🌾🎃🥦
⚽️ Very pleased to make a socially distanced visit last month to @CefnDruids @wrexham - the oldest football club in 🏴 - to learn more about their measures to ensure full #Covid compliance.
And I want to wish everyone at @CefnDruidsafc all the very best for the future.
North Wales Police say in a joint statement, “You will see increased visibility across our force areas where we will be trying to help our communities do the right thing and protect themselves and others” (LINK)

Update from health board on coronavirus in hospitals in north Wales. Deputy Executive Medical Director says “We are seeing an increase in the number of patients being admitted with COVID-19 into Wrexham Maelor Hospital. (LINK)
The Regulation change does amend the earlier regs, so the announcement a week ago about cross lockdown area sports for ‘young athletes' will take effect from 6pm (LINK)
Cheshire East & Cheshire West and Chester Council areas are named by the new Regulations. However as Wrexham was already under ‘local lockdown’ there is no change to rules everyone has been following for the last two weeks… but were people doing that? (LINK)
@wrexham it's 2.25pm outside St Christopher's school on Stockwell Road and yet again there is a line of taxis completely blocking the rd for those who need to use that route to get home. The school day doesn't end until 3.15pm. This is every day!!
Wrexham +26 on the day on day figures, with 7.8% positive proportion. Seven day rolling up the the 13th has us down to 173.6 per 100k. (LINK)

Crime Prevention in Tesco Wrexham Town today with local PCSO Louise ROBERTS #Wrexham #wrecsam
TODAY: 1-3PM - PCSO Louise Roberts will be holding a drop-in community policing surgery at Tesco, Wrexham. She will be on the left just inside the store entrance armed with crime prevention freebies & other useful bits. Please say hi and talk about any issues you may have. Diolch
First Minister: “We are all tired of coronavirus and all wish our lives could return to like how they were before the pandemic hit”. Says he can offer reassurance that the sacrifices being made by people will work.
First Minister on the circuit breaker / firebreak: "Provided we all play our part it would give us breathing space to get through to Christmas”. Doesn’t rule out any further measures though in the next few months.
The first minister claims such measures would help to “reset the virus”. Would likely last two to three weeks if it goes ahead.
First Minister said a “short, sharp” circuit break being considered by Welsh Government would involve people being asked to stay at home again. No decision yet, but more info on Monday after more meetings this weekend.
Final press conference of the week about to start - expect to hear an update on about the travel restrictions in place from tonight and questions on a potential “circuit breaker" (LINK)
Welsh Gov confirm regulations will change "to make it clear that people living in areas with a high-prevalence of coronavirus in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland would not be able to travel to parts of Wales where there is a low prevalence."
Wrexham stays in ‘local lockdown’ measures - Welsh Gov say “Working closely with local authorities and public health experts, we have concluded the public health context means we cannot ease restrictions, and they will be in place for at least another seven days."
Last walk in day today for this - then you will *need to book*. Slightly bigger queue there this morning. Seems the extra portacabins are todo with the courts redevelopment rather than some massive addition to the testing centre (LINK)

I fully support the letter below from Secretary of State for Wales @Simonhartmp to @fmwales.
Businesses and residents in #ClwydSouth @wrexham have a right to know on what basis @WelshGovernment believes additional restrictions on people travelling into Wales are proportionate.
From 4am on Saturday, anyone arriving in Wales from Italy, Vatican City State and San Marino will need to isolate for 14 days.
Passengers arriving from Crete will no longer have to isolate.

Whatever your age, getting your test done early is crucial to preventing the spread of #coronavirus.
That’s why tests can be delivered to your home if you can’t reach a local test centre.
Call 119 or visit (LINK) as soon as you start showing these symptoms 👇
Thanks to our amazing staff and students, the year 7 group who are self isolating had a full timetable of live lessons today. @wrexhamcbc @wrexham @leaderlive @wgmin_education
With speculation rife, these are facts: Welsh Govt has been considering a circuit breaker all week - that’s no secret. It has press conferences tomorrow & Monday but also Weds and Fri. It says in public, & all my sources also insist, that no decision or timetable has been agreed. (LINK)
Officers have been on patrol outside some of the schools in Offa this afternoon. Please keep clear of the zig zags, park considerately & responsibly #OffaOctober #ParkConsiderately #DontEndagerAChildsLife #HereForYou #WrexhamTown
❗ REMINDER:
Washing your hands, wearing a mask and keeping 2m distance are the three best ways to prevent catching and spreading coronavirus.
We know you know this already – but don't snooze this reminder. It could save your life.
#KeepWalesSafe
2/2 A spokesperson says 'We are actively considering advice from SAGE and our TAC Group. A ‘fire break’ set of measures to control Covid-19, similar to that described in the SAGE papers, is under consideration in Wales. But no decisions have been made.'
1/2 Welsh Government says it's still considering further lockdown measures including circuit breaker/fire break but denies any decisions have been made.
We are receiving a high number of calls into our Control Room from those wanting further details about the restrictions.
The @WelshGovernment have produced a comprehensive FAQ section on their website ⬇️
