British Retail Consortium report hails Wrexham as 21st century town

WREXHAM has been praised for its approach to tackling high street shopping issues.

The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has highlighted the town as an example to others in its new report called 21st Century High Streets: A new vision for our town centres.

The report looks at how Eagles Meadow was developed to help prevent shoppers being lured away to neighbouring towns and cities.

Cllr Rodney Skelland, Wrexham County Borough Council’s lead member for regeneration and corporate governance, said: “It’s good to see Wrexham being cited as an example to other towns on how to tackle retail issues.”
