Why are we doing this?: The City Centre enhancements are about improving the centre of Wrexham and encouraging people to reimagine and influence how it should look, feel, and function. Specifically, we want to promote better design and development, and help establish more appealing social, cultural, economic uses and activities.
We want to get public opinion on the proposals and then we would like wider views to make the scheme as representative as possible.
Considerable investment is already in place to regenerate the markets, however, despite successful building enhancement projects the High street itself remains underused and subject to issues of dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour. Public realm enhancements in this area will help to manage these issues and will help to establish the area as the go-to cultural and civic heart of the City. Strengthening the role of High Street as a higher quality day time destination and encouraging the hospitality sector will also strengthen the area as an attractive evening and night time destination.
Public realm enhancement is trying to encourage greater footfall through the streets by providing a more pedestrian friendly environment, more space for businesses to utilise pavements and more events space in a public realm of better quality.
We will be actively embracing new technologies to achieve economic, social and environmental benefits such as increased footfall, improved traffic management, energy saving, cleaner and safer streets and increased public involvement. Our proposals include practical steps that can be included to kick start Wrexham’s journey with digital technology which will help increase vitality and improve digital infrastructure, support events, and manage green infrastructure.
What do we want to know?: We want to get public opinion on the proposals and then we would like wider views to make the scheme as representative as possible.
