Plans for new Welsh-medium primary school in Wrexham approved subject to review of traffic measures
Plans to create a new Welsh-medium primary school in Wrexham have been given the go ahead, subject to a review of traffic measures being carried out.
Members of Wrexham Council’s planning committee held a virtual meeting on Monday to discuss proposals to transform the existing Borras Park Community Primary School site.
The application was recommended for approval by a senior officer in the face of objections from neighbours and community leaders over traffic and parking problems in the area.
The scheme will result in the current infant school being remodelled to establish a new Welsh medium school for 210 children.
COUNCILLORS in Wrexham have been warned about their behaviour after council representatives came in for heavy criticism during a planning meeting. Two politicians were taken to task for launching verbal attacks during a virtual meeting of Wrexham Council’s planning committee held yesterday (Monday, 1 February). Cllrs Bill Baldwin and Beverley Parry-Jones were both critical of information provided regarding proposals to create a new Welsh-medium primary school. It came after concerns were raised over the extra traffic and parking problems it could cause at the existing Borras Park Community Primary School site. Cllr Baldwin, who represents Little Acton, was the first to speak on the issue, accusing officers of manipulating traffic figures to downplay the impact and mockingly referencing the Harry Potter series of books.
