News and Urgent Announcements
From Borough Councillor Andrew Atkinson
VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR GRESFORD AND MARFORD RESIDENTS
TUESDAY 14TH JANUARY IN THE GRESFORD TRUST BETWEEN 5PM AND 7PM
Residents Meeting re: Virgin Media planned works-
I was contacted by Virgin Media yesterday as they are needing to bring forward their planned works to install their technology in the area that will allow homes to sign up to the Virgin service if they so wish.
Work will be starting in the next week or two so I've requested a resident engagement meeting so that anyone wanting to find out more from them can attend. They've kindly agreed and the meeting will be on TUESDAY 14TH JANUARY IN THE GRESFORD TRUST BETWEEN 4.30pm AND 6.30PM just drop in any time.
To be clear as I understand it there will be disruption and upheaval and it may well be a bit chaotic but thankfully its only temporary and at the end of it there's more consumer choice. I will be working with them and be on their case to minimise disruption and make sure things go as smoothly as possible as will Cllr Gilmartin.
THE FIRST ROAD WILL BE HAWTHORN ROAD FOLLOWED BY THE MAYFLOWER ESTATE which will then work out towards Hillock Lane, Nayland Avenue and Chester Road leading on to Bodwyn Park, Pant Olwen and Hollyfield etc.
ANYONE in Gresford and Marford is welcome to attend the drop in meeting as your road may well be done soon.
PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON.

Notice from Wrexham Council concerning Bin Collections:
Help spread this message to people who don’t use the internet :-)IF YOUR BIN ISN’T EMPTIED, IT COULD BE AN ACCESS ISSUE
Unfortunately, on some occasions – like in the above picture - our vehicles can’t get to where they need to be due to parked cars/vans. When this happens, some of our residents miss their bin and/or recycling collection.
You can help us avoid this by taking extra care when parking your vehicles on your collection day and checking there’s enough room for our large vehicles to safely perform their duties.
Missed bins can be reported by calling 01978 298989. Report before 3pm and they’ll be collected within three working days if WCBC are at fault.

Gresford Allotment Association
Gresford allotments are tucked away in a quiet corner of the village in a delightful rural setting and have provided fresh, healthy fruit and vegetables for local people for generations. Allotments nationally have undergone something of a renaissance over the last few years, as people have realised how useful allotments are to support active living and healthier lifestyles and how much fun can be obtained from growing your own fruit and vegetables. The use of allotments performs many roles and meets many needs, from getting people outdoors, carrying out physical exercise, to the pleasure of eating your own home grown food and socialising with like minded people who always seem to have the time to offer advice, share experiences or simply to have a chat. Working an allotment isn’t rocket science. It requires some hard work and diligence to get it sorted and maintained but it also brings many advantages. In addition to keeping you physically fit, research shows that working your allotment is an excellent stress-buster and will keep you mentally fit also. With growing concerns about methods of modern food production, you will also discover that the fresh fruit and vegetables you have grown yourself are healthier and taste far, far better than anything you will buy in a supermarket. Renting an allotment is also not as expensive as you think. Annual rents are: 1. Full plot - £20 2. Half plot - £12 3. Quarter plot - £8 If you are interested in having your own allotment and live in the villages of Gresford, Marford or Rossett, then simply email your contact details to jerry.okeeffe@hotmail.co.uk |
