I used to live in there; it’s was very old fashioned internally even a decade ago, and not really fit for purpose these days. It’s not unused either; it’s a gallery now, not accommodation.
It’s what people want. Bigger, more modern shops with loads of car parking. Wrexham’s town centre really is no longer fit for purpose, and really we should start to see many of the retail units being converted to residential or other commercial use.
You can charge whatever you want for parking, if the reason to park is there. Wrexham is a dead town centre; it’s not a destination, it’s barely a stopping-over point. I live two minutes from the town centre, and if I need to go and do anything other than super-budget shopping, I go to Chester.
I’m skint, so I stay in Wrexham, but that’s neither here nor there.
There is nothing in Wrexham town centre to attract anyone. Eagles Meadow could be great, simply due to the better, bigger shop units. The council should bite the bullet and look at redeveloping vast swathes of the town centre. No bigger shops are going to go into pokey, old-fashioned units surrounded by tat shops.
Discount UK, or whatever name they’ve come up with this week; it’s an anchor shop here. But the anchor is all rusted, and it’s got no chain attached.
Aye, Cool Trader was his next business, when Iceland begged him to come back Cool Trader was part of the deal, then they sold it to Heron a year or so ago.
Our bins were meant to be collected on the 10th, but happily rescheduled after the strike to the 17th, so we took them in and put up with maggots in the garden.
Yesterday, the 16th, the binmen came to collect the waste. Luckily, I saw them and was able to catch them before they left.
The council – helpfully trying to catch up, but would’ve been nice if they’d bothered to tell anyone.
