WORK will soon start on installing a new 3G pitch at a dual-use school leisure site, meaning any clubs keen to use the pitch will now get even more benefits from it.

The installation of the new pitch at Ysgol Clywedog on Ruthin Road will start at the end of the month, and should be complete early in December.

Wrexham Council say they have already contacted clubs and other users to let them know that the improvements are due, and that they’ll be able to take advantage of the new facilities in the winter.

Cllr Andrew Atkinson, Lead Member for Youth Services and Anti-Poverty, with responsibility for Leisure, said: “It’s fantastic to see that even more improvements are on the way for the all-weather pitch at Ysgol Clywedog – especially given that we only recently installed new floodlights.

“I’d like to thank Freedom Leisure and Wrexham Council staff for their work in securing these improvements to the pitch, and am very pleased to see that local clubs will have a wide choice of improved facilities to play and train at across the county borough.”

Cllr Phil Wynn, Chair of the Governors at Ysgol Clywedog, said: “We’re very pleased with the announcement regarding the new 3G pitch, as it comes alongside a number of other improvements to the school – including redeveloped education and IT suites, along with a new and improved entrance area.

“As with the recent line of improvements to leisure facilities, the timing of this couldn’t be better.”
