    I see the council are putting down a cycle path and a walking path on the old railway line in Rhostyllen in front of the new houses on the old foundry they have been working on it for 2 weeks already and I can see them being there for another month.How much is that costing?I go for another 7% rise in council tax as that is now the normal and we never protest about anything just the odd moan.

    Another 7.5% rise in our council taxes.our leader will tell us he has done everthing to keep it down to this but money is tight even with the extra funding from South wales.

    So what about the enviromental side of things the amount of traffic mainly doing an extra 15 miles on a journey all that extra pollution going through small towns and villages.Our welsh parliament love to put there name to our air pollution policies but then ignore this.

    I think you are wrong on so many fronts have a search online and it tells you the yearly packages of the welsh chief executives and the pension package that they have been given.In year 19-20 Cardifs council chief executive Paul Orders had a salary of £180,423 and a pension of £42,399 a total of £222,822.The proceeds of a pension are not always paid out on retirement some people these days are doing a CETV(cash transfer) at 55 and coming out of the pension they can then invest the money as one lump sum and take out 25% tax free.And still carry on working with no pension.

    Iam 53 years of age my girlfriend who lives with me who is younger is having the vaccine on April 8th when they rang her up she asked about me and they told her that I should ring up in a couple of weeks and see if I can make an appointment depending on supplies,but a gent I work with is 45 in good health lives in England but had his in Chirk three days ago.So when they say we are keeping the vaccine for the over 50s it is not true how many times do you see friends of friends on facebook making comments that they have had the vaccine they are in the late 20s and are either not working or work in the spar.

    You say it is not the owners or management that will take us forward but the players,but if the players the manager brings in are not good enough or better still the tactics the manager uses are not bringing the best out of players then whos fault is that.Just hope in the near future our club gets back its pride and we move away from Darlington and Keates kick and rush game.

    You mention the leaving of the EU for the free flow of the workforce but if we did not have migration of 25,000 people from europe since 2004 our local hospital might not need the extra doctors and nurses.

    Yes that will be very true but that does not just happen in Wrexham,the question is has any other unitary authority in england and wales had a higher rise in council tax in the last three years.
