Wrexham Council will be taking a number of measures to stop the spread of coronavirus.

They have stated that all events and activities, which includes children’s activities and workshops, will be suspended at a range of venues and public spaces.

These include libraries, Tŷ Mawr and Alyn Waters Country Parks and Community Resource Centres, which consists of Plas Pentwyn, Acton, Llay, Brynteg and Gwersyllt.

However, the venues and spaces will remain open, but there will be no council-organised events or activities there until further notice.

At Tŷ Pawb, the galleries, performance-spaces and Tŷ Pawb’s own shop (Siop//Shop) will be closed until further notice.

But the market hall, stalls and takeaways will remain open, with increased hygiene measures in place, which will include extra hand-cleaning facilities for visitors.

The Butcher’s Market and General Market will also remain open, but increased hygiene measures are being introduced.

The outdoor Monday Market on Queens Square will continue as normal.

Easter holiday activities organised as part of the council’s events programme, which includes the Big Easter Egg Hunt in the town centre, has also been suspended for the foreseeable future.

A decision on events scheduled for later this spring and summer will be made nearer the time.

The council have urged residents who are thinking about going to an event or activity at the moment (including non-council events), to check with organisers if the event is still going ahead.

All civic engagements attended by the Mayor or Deputy Mayor have been cancelled for the time being.

Leisure centres will make their own decisions about whether to change their provision or opening arrangements, as the council does not operate them in the county borough.

The drop-in session planned as part of the Nine Acre Field consultation, which was due to take place at the Memorial Hall on March 19, will no longer take place, but individuals can still take part in the consultation online.

An event planned in support of Earth Hour, which was due to take place in the Guildhall on March 24, has also been postponed.

The Tourist Information Centre will be closed from this Friday, 20 March, although this is largely due to the planned move to premises in Chester Street.

A decision on when the new Tourist Information Centre will open will be taken in the future.
