A VOLUNTEER cleaning day has been organised to give Wrexham town centre a summer spruce up.

Councillor Andrew Atkinson, the Wrexham Town Centre Community Interest Company and the Gateway Church are organising a team of volunteers for the next town centre clean-up day at 10am on Sunday, July 24.

They are meeting on Bank Street.

The clean-up’s bring together volunteers from the Town Centre Forum, the local community, some councillors, local businesses and the Gateway Church.

They are also supported by Wrexham Council and Keep Wales Tidy as well as large multi-nationals like Co-op, Greggs and McDonalds.

Previous events have seen volunteers tackle Lord Street, Regent Street and Hope Street.

Cllr Atkinson said: "It’s all about doing anything we can to take pride in our town. We will be tackling graffiti, fly-posters and mess left in empty shops as well as sprucing up the town and giving things a lick of paint.

"As always, Gateway Church deserve special recognition for what they do to assist us in the town with these clean-up days.

"Once again they have changed their church service time to the late afternoon so that they can bring the whole church along to help. It’s amazing and its a really big help."
