Wrexham council have confirmed that the first phase of its Streetscene project is almost complete.

The works are part of a drive to improve the look of the town centre, with £420,000 in investment planned to improve paving and street furniture with work on Queen Street, Hope Street and the High Street almost finished.

The footway areas running alongside the shops are nearly finished, with contractors now hard at work on the central carriageways – the paved “road” running through the street.

Landscaped areas on Hope Street at the junction with Queen Street have been re-paved, and once the carriageway is finished, we’ll then move on to installing new railings, seating, litter bins and planters.

Cllr David A Bithell, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We’re very grateful to the public, shopkeepers and businesses for their patience during this first stage of work in Wrexham Town Centre.

“The updated streetscape is already looking brighter, and the further addition of street furniture will help to brighten the overall appearance of that part of town.”
