Point 7 negates point 1.
Point 2 is wishful thinking, I know people working in most of those places, and I know how “local” they are.
Point 9 should be balanced against the low local median wage.
Point 10, not compared with even ten years ago.
[quote quote=146798]There are likely to be several drug stashes used around the town centre by the plague of dealers out on the streets. Obviously the phone box got moved as that was regularly used in deals (I mean who uses a payphone to make calls these days).
My advice would be to confidentially tip off the police and then they can monitor and catch out a live deal. Otherwise, just sharing it online will mean they might get tipped off and then change up locations.
We need to set-up a WIRE.[/quote]
In your dreams!
Ever wondered how our town centre CCTV never seems to pick up drug dealing in town?
If I can see drugs around town as regularly as I do, on the infrequent trips I bother making into the town centre now, the police can only be ignoring it.
Stash.
I`ve seen the Bus stop seat by Sylvia Jefferies used, and the bin compound on Owen Close used like this.
The dealer there seems to have a plywood door at the moment!Also seen drug hand offs by the old tennis courts on the Queensway.
I`ve seen drugs being openly dealt in the alley way by the old library and the tourist office; nearly got arrested for reporting that though.
They could link to HMP Berwyn.
Apparently there is no issue with being able to identify people on them.
Give them to the homeless, they can burn them to keep warm.
Half of Wrexham would probably struggle to read a book, if they knew what it was.
As a kid Wrexham was known for shoe shops and building societies; recently it appears to be Vape shops, Pawn shops and charity shops.
At least hairdressers are paying rates, unlike the charity shops.
Am I the only cynic who notes that most of the Barbers/hairdressers are cash only businesses?
As for the signage, I travel to the Nottingham area fairly often.
You pass three prisons on the way, dove gate(?) just after Uttoxeter, Fosson(?) off of the A500 and another in Cotton in the Clay.
Non of them have banner size signage like Berwyn, if you didn’t know they were there, you would probably miss them entirely.
Why is it that Wrexham seems to be infatuated with the crap end of the population?
I remember reading the Lonely Planet guide entry on Wrexham some years ago, that was hardly flattering.
I grew up in Wrexham in the late `70s, I can remember how the town changed; for the better.
Walk through Wrexham now, and I really can not see how you can come back from the current situation.
Wrexham is now a dormitory town.
The centre is somewhere to avoid.I went to the David Starkey talk at the Parish Church last year, walking out down church street you are faced with a store that has not been occupied this century, with a dosser in a sleeping bag in the doorway, got to the corner of High street/Chester street and there was a ~10 year old lad shouting abuse in a broad traveller accent, while he stood on the kerb and pissed in the road.
I will not take my daughter into town due to the prevalence of drug dealing or drugged up dossers there.
The centre of town, Queens Square, outside the Guildhall, in banking hours.
I made the mistake of pointing a drug dealer out to the town centre bobby on the only occasion I`ve seen a copper in town (rememberance day), and nearly got arrested for the effort.
