CHURCH members have appealed for help in signposting where their building is based.

Members of St Mark's Church, in Bryn Eglwys, Caia Park attended a meeting of the community council looking for support in securing signposting to direct people to the building which is renowned for hard for people to find.

Val Maddocks, of the church committee, told members that discussions were being had with Wrexham Council's highways department about signage for the church.

She said that as more and more people needed to visit St Marks, due to the foodbank, the Holiday Hunger play provision and a number of other events hosted there, people were struggling to find it.

"We have had a problem with people knowing where we are", she said.

"Older people know where it is but we have so much more going on and people are coming from other parts of Wrexham - for the Holiday Hunger projct, the brownies, people from the prison, and for the foodbank.

"I'm sorry to say the number of clients for the foodbank has gone up 50 per cent in the last 12 moths and it is the only place in Wrexham to get food on a Tuesday.

"We had one person come all the way on a pushbike from Brymbo, and another person travelled from Ruabon."

Members felt that the church was so difficult to find it would benefit from at least three signs pointing to where it is, with Cefn Road, Ceiriog Road and the bottom of Allington Drive in Kingsley Circle all suggested as good locations for signage.

After receiving unanimous backing for the proposal from members, council clerk Michael Morris said he would write to Wrexham Council to pass on its support for some sort of signage, whether temporary or long-term to signpost the church.
