No to urban sprawl

We, the undersigned, are opposed to further urban sprawl locally and the merging of communities surrounding Wrexham. It will increase traffic congestion and pollution, put additional pressure on schools, health services and other infrastructure.

Our house and other homes surrounding the Llay development of 362 houses have been detrimentally affected by large development. Due to heavy plant installing water pipes etc & taking water from the ground, cracks appeared inside & outside of house. Caused by vibration of heavy plant & obvious change in water table. The Property Developers took no accountability for damage. Their representative blamed cracks on hot weather. Some residents have spent £1000s to repair damage. We won 2+ year battle with our Insurance Company to get repairs done. Tests proved cracks nothing to do with subsidence or hot weather. Report advised damage caused by vibrations of heavy plant. Currently waiting for builders to do inside & outside repairs. Impact of large development still impacting our home. In past 6 months, holes opening up in front garden. Front and back garden no longer flat & undulating. If you check UK reports of big developments and effects on surrounding properties, you will see Llay residents not the only ones to encounter damage to their properties. Property developers should be held accountable for damage caused to surrounding properties by their heavy plant and changing water table. Something for the Government to consider.

We should not allow building on any arable/green land that can be used for farming. Not only will this reduce food production but it will also have a devastating effect on our delicate wildlife eco system.

On top of that, Wrexham does not have the road infrastructure to cope with the extra cars. Ruthin Road/Creosnewydd Rd and all roads in the hospital vicinity is gridlocked now. Just imagine if 1500 homes are built on the fields opposite, not to mention the destruction of ancient trees in that area. We also have the emergency services stationed at the hospital which will find it impossible to get out.

The NHS is already struggling to cope, the waiting lists to see GPs are months instead of days and it’s impossible to get an NHS Dental appointment now.

There should be however a push to renovate old properties already built, empty properties above shops could be converted to flats for local people looking for homes. Brown land opposite St. Giles could have modern apartments built with a bit of design flare from property developers.

Again a complete and utterly joke- we can’t get to see doctors as it is – the hospital can’t cope with the number in the area as is is and now you want to add more houses !!!!! This is the country was a beautiful town – you have just ruined and and continuing to do so !!!!

We see congestion building up on the 483 bypass on a Regular basis so more houses near the Road will only mean matters getting worse and to many outsiders buying houses here and working elsewhere for a quick Route to chester and other areas.

We don’t currently have the required infrastructure to cope with more housing in these areas. We need more GP Surgeries, more schools and a bigger hospital which has sufficient parking before we should contemplate more housing

No to new houses on the green spaces as it will destroy our local wildlife

Are there really that many Wrexham people in need of a new home, or is this part of a wider cross-border housing need that will turn the town into a commuter town for Cheshire and Merseyside. This will alter local demographics, and will not help the revival of the Welsh language in the area.

Wrexham infrastructure is at the moment struggling to cope with the population it has now without bringing more and more people in to flood Doctors, Schools,Hospitals with even more people, More Traffic, More pollution When WMBC are putting restriction on the bypass to reduce it, WMBC STILL trying to become a City while the incumbent council members cant even run a village let alone a town
