    Just watched the announcement of the winner of the Art Fund Museum of the Year on the One Show.
    How, in all sincerity did Ty Pawb make the final? The offer from the other candidates was streets ahead of Wrexham and other entrants who didn’t make the final must have been pretty dire.

    If the Council leadership are intent entering all manner of competitions in an attempt to revel in the kudos winning would attract, please make sure the goal is remotely attainable.

    Get over yourself wrexview.
    It’s the same old story, repeated as nauseum.
    You’re getting really boring now.

    Get it built and stop all the prevarication. To my mind, the objectors argument doesn’t hold water and it’s more to do with perceived disturbance than to a loss of green space.

    Not surprised they’ve closed considering the exorbitant prices they were charging.

    Spot on Councillor x.
    When I first read JaneJ’s post the first thought that came to mind was utter garbage and crass stupidity and unworthy of direct comment.
    However, after reading your post, I felt obligated to support your excellent retort.

    However much I hope, I can’t see Johnson losing the vote of confidence in Parliament this evening.
    Tory MP’s especially, are in politics for whatever benefits they can accrue personally and not for the benefit of the country or those that elected them.
    The 2019 intake are likely to toe the party line and I cannot see how our illustrious duo will behave any differently.
    We, the electorate of Wrexham cocked up by voting the way the majority did – based on lies and untruths. Now we are all reaping the benefits.

    I can’t disagree with you Jane. I’m not surprised in the slightest that Bradford have been awarded the 2025 accolade.
    Just out of interest, I checked the ‘what’s on’ pages for the respective candidates. In terms of quality events, Wrexham comes in a very lowly 4th.
    Granted, lots of things have been going on in the run up to selection, but sadly, pretty much with the odd exception, of a low calibre.
    Unfortunately, now that it’s all over for another 4 years, I anticipate a rapid decline in meaningful culture based activities.
    At great expense no doubt the old Hippodrome site was transformed to a children’s play area simply to impress the judging panel. Now, at half term, it’s once again boarded off and out of use.
    However much we are told that Ty Pawb is a jewel in the crown but in reality, it’s just paste.

    I agree that A&E is totally misused and abused by people who, with a little common sense could alleviate the problem substantially.

    Another factor, I’m quite convinced is the ridiculously stupid name of the Health Board. It give no indication whatsoever of its geographic location. Why not call it what it is – North Wales Health Board?

    Following the news that the 2 Independent groups have amalgamated to create the largest party in WCBC and will now be running the Council or the next 5 years, quite frankly, makes me want to vomit.

    Voters, you were warned. There is no such thing as an Independent in Wrexham.

    I have been saying the same thing as Jane fo a long time now.

    Anyone who declares themselves to be ‘Independent’ and then joins a group is deceiving the electorate and in my view, morally reprehensible and unworthy of serving in public office.
