4. Five myths about councils…busted

When it comes to public services, it’s not easy to know who does what. Which means people sometimes think their council is responsible for stuff they have no control over.

5. Town centre footfall breaks 100,000 mark in the summer

Wrexham town centre saw its visitor count reach more than 100,000 people during a week in August.

6. Respite for Rachel

No wages, no sick pay, no annual leave – if you’re a carer, you’ll know what we mean!

In Wrexham, however, there is a rare example of creative thinking and practical action changing the lives of Rachel Harry, her daughter Freya and Rachel’s mum Karan.

7. Own your own little piece of Wrexham history…the Acton Dog

Here’s a chance for you to own your own little piece of Wrexham history in the shape of the Acton Dog. It’s been re-created using new 3D technology, thanks to engineers at Glyndwr University.

8. What brings £330,000 to Wrexham every year?

You may be surprised to know that it’s one of the biggest international music events in Europe…it’s FOCUS Wales, and it takes place here in Wrexham every May.

9. Young people…“you can make a difference”

Are you aged between 11 and 25? Do you feel more could be done to ensure young people have their views taken seriously, and are represented?
