    What a pointless and immature gesture from our illustrious Plaid Cymru Councillors. Do they really think that their presence will be missed?
    I’m sure the historic occasion will go ahead flawlessly and will be welcomed by the city’s residents.

    I wonder how they’re feeling now that the latest Census figures show that there is a decline in Welsh language speakers? Not going to plan is it?

    I think little would be achieved when broadly speaking, Wales followed the Westminster lead a week or so later.
    The lessons learned from the national Covid enquiry would be equally applicable across the U.K.
    One question that maybe still outstanding is why did the Welsh Government dither?

    Get your thinking cap back on. On second thoughts, don’t bother.

    Probably the most ridiculous, complicated idea I think I’ve ever read.

    How about introducing performance related pay for Councillors?
    You do f.. all, you get paid f… all.

    Money for old rope for most of them!

    If you want the salary……….earn it, by putting Wrexham before your pocket.

    Don’t forget also that pedestrianised areas mean just that. I am absolutely fed up with cyclists using Regent St and Hope St like a racing track threading between shoppers going about their daily
    business.

    Cyclists seem to want to rule the roost with impunity as if they are a special breed.

    Our illustrious local MP’s have already declared where their allegiance lies and who they will be supporting for Prime Minister.
    Sarah Atherton – Boris Johnson and Simon Baines – Rishi Sunak.

    I guess one of them is content with backing a proven liability.

    Slight overreaction Jane , don’t you think?
    The last time there was an outage, if my info is correct, was September 2021 when Virgin were carrying out essential maintenance work.
    However inconvenient it was, hardly worthy of a knee jerk reaction is it?

    Jimbow, regarding your last comment – as a follower of wrexham.com forums, I am entitled to read and comment on whichever threads that I choose, even if expressing a contrary opinion irritates those with a viewpoint that could possibly be classed as obsessive.

    Market, market, market, I’m flaming well sick of the word!
    Almost half the stalls unoccupied the remainder selling products that people only want on an infrequent basis.
    A more inappropriate name than Butcher’s market is hard to envisage.
    Monday market now almost non existent.
    And people consider Wrexham to still be a market town? Dream on!

    Campaigners reason for objections to the new school proposed for the Nine Acre site:-
    loss of green space. Question – how can you lose something you’ve never had access to?

    Subtext of of objection (or real reason if you like):-
    How dare they consider building amongst E to H Council Tax Banding properties? Surely they are more appropriate for A-D?
