‘The Wrexham We Want’ – Public Urged Have Their Say

Public service agencies across Wrexham are asking residents to give their views on the big, long-term issues facing the county borough.

Wrexham Public Services Board (PSB) – which includes the local council, NHS, emergency services, education providers and other agencies – is working on a plan that will shape both the present and future of the county borough.

Called ‘The Wrexham We Want’, it will influence how big challenges around things like education, jobs, community safety and healthcare are tackled.

In Autumn 2016 the partnership asked local people what they wanted Wrexham to be. It also asked what could get in the way of it happening, and what public services and communities would need to do to make it happen.

The answers – combined with other information – will be used to develop a plan to help improve Wrexham over the long-term.

However before work starts, the partnership wants to check it has pin-pointed the challenges and issues that people really care about.

Rob Smith, Chair or Wrexham PSB said: “This plan will impact on your life and your families’ lives. So we need to get it right.

“Before we go any further, we need to make sure we understand what is important to Wrexham – the things that affect people and the things people care about.

“It’s not an ‘ask once and walk away’ exercise. We asked for your views in the autumn, and now we’re asking you to check we’ve got the right end of the stick. Are these the things that really matter to you? Did we hear you right? Is there anything missing?

“We’re urging everyone to take part and give us their feedback.”

You can take part by visiting the Wrexham Public Services Board website .

Or pick up a paper copy of the consultation at public buildings, including Contact Wrexham in Lord Street (Wrexham town centre), libraries across the County Borough, AVOW, Glyndŵr University and Coleg Cambria.

The consultation closes on Monday, February 27.
