Statement from Bobbi Cockcroft
We invited them to tell you a little about who they are, any political history and about their political leanings.
I am an active and avid volunteer within the town and I have spent over two years building and maintaining relationships with existing business owners and various volunteer networks across the county. Since then I have been able to maintain a good working relationship with various members of Wrexham Council, including those on the current Executive Board, and have been able to assist the Council in numerous ways with the reopening of the Town Centre. As well as these key partnerships, I am also on the board of directors for a local CIC Art Gallery,.
Prior to this, I was a student at Glyndwr University, and was studying History. I have taken a break in my studies to pursue a role as County Councillor for the new Acton and Maesydre ward.
I grew up in Maesydre, and after living in other areas of Wrecsam whilst I raised my young family, I made the decision to move back to the area I grew up in, enabling me to be closer to my children's school and in a more accessible location for work and volunteering opportunities.
