A friend badly damaged her arm last Friday after colliding with a filing cabinet. She was in a great deal of pain. As a first aider I was fairly confident she hadn’t broken it but I was concerned there could be a damaged nerve or perhaps a slight crack in a bone, so I recommended she went to A&E. over 90 minutes later she rang me to ask me to pick her up – she had been told that the wait would be 6 to 8 hours!

I think it’s great but I very much doubt many on here will agree. Last year the general tone was negative due to perceived damage to local businesses and some minor traffic disruption. They don’t pay road tax you know.
You may be right Ferret and not many on this forum may be supportive. However the Tour passing through Wrexham was well supported and hopefully local businesses benefited from the extra footfall and the council benefitted from revenue for car parks etc. It would be nice if Wrexham celebrated the visit of the Tour with window displays, street stalls etc and attracted visitors for the event and made it something not to miss.
Don’t start the ‘road tax’ thing again – you know that some people don’t know there has been no road tax since the 1930’s. Bicycles would pay zero VED anyway as they don’t pollute.
Can we just agree to criticise bad ROAD USERS rather than singling out cyclists. I have experiences seeing poor drivers of cars, vans, buses and lorries who are likely to cause me significant harm. And yes, some cyclists deserve your wrath, and rightly so but they are by no means the only poor ROAD USERS each of us comes across.

And how many cyclists in Wrexham understand the meaning of this traffic signal?
Oh, my aching sides. How amusing. You must have been watching “Top Gear” again. And of course you NEVER see a motorist jumping red lights do you?
As I keep saying, the rules of the road apply to ALL road users. Get used to it and respect each other.
A planning application has been submitted to turn 3 and 5 Maesgwyn Road (the Miners Rescue Centre) into student accommodation.
P/2014/0056The application does not specify how many students or which part of the building is to be converted.
Planning application for this use has previously been rejected, and I am surprised that an application can be made IF the building has not been restored to its former pre-demolition condition.
There is insufficient parking space for further student multi-occupancy accommodation in Maesgwyn Road. The road is already chocca with rail users and postal workers anyway.
If you wish to object or comment, the planning application is on line at Wrexham.gov.uk

I support trying to keep facilities at Plas Madoc, whilst recognising it either needs a subsidy from the Council, or the WAG, or for some other solution.
However I would most definitely not want to be associated with this petition as it is both rather crass and pointlessly spiteful.
Malcolm King deserves his OBE.Completely agree – with one caveat – I don’t agree with the honours system anyway.
Councillors vote to close Plas Madoc by a vote of 7 to 2. They also voted to close Waterworld and ‘possibly’ replace it with a new facility.

… and didn’t the council spend a fortune on it on the last refurbishment removing all the asbestos from the structure. Surely it should be reused not knocked down.

Hardly just Wrexham though is it, this would have happened everywhere. Should have just shut the shop and told them to leave.
….or perhaps even better, stuck to the prices they had advertised to customers!! If it was £99 shop and advertised sale prices of £50 for all items, that’s what you’d expect to pay.

This has now been referred to CADW’s historic building inspector who is considering Waterworld for protection due to architectural interest and technical innovation due to its hyperbolic paraboloid roof.
Well done NJones!!
Does this go to prove that the consultants fees were not worth the money paid out. It should have been one of the fundamental questions raised in their research!
