The Council Executive are discussing the future of the Memorial Hall next week as if it is their own building- it is not their it belongs to the Memorial Hall Charity of which the Council are the sole Trustee. They have not been submitting accounts or annual return now as they are nearly 1000 days overdue.
As Charity Trustee they should be doing the best for the charity as the custodian of the asset and the history yet they make no reference in their report that they do not own it. Under a previous Chief Executive the Council was going to demolish the building as part of the ‘Golden Triangle’ development which included the demolition of Waterworld.
The building clearly needs a massive revamp as it has been neglected for a number of years even though the Trustees (the Council) could have applied for lots of charity grant funding and more recently the Shared Prosperity Leveling Up funding.
Have the Council been offered funding for the site by a developer to locate next to Aldi?
Those who have an interest in preserving / creating a new Memorial Hall fitting for the future should make their voice heard. https://moderngov.wrexham.gov.uk/documents/s30833/Appendix.pdf?LLL=0
