WREXHAM Council has joined the public in showing appreciation towards frontline key workers during the pandemic. 

They have decided to be creative in showing their gratitude to those helping tackle the virus by painting messages saying ‘thank you NHS’, along with a heart-shaped rainbow flag near to the Maelor Hospital. 
A spokesman for Wrexham Council, said: “Wrexham is finding another way to pay tribute to these amazing people.
“Messages are being painted onto the surfaces of Watery Road and Croesnewydd Road, close to the hospital.
“The cost of painting the messages onto the road surfaces has been kindly met by our contractors L and R Roadlines and Amberon - we’d like to thank them for this kind gesture.”
A similar ‘thank you’ message, which is aimed at every key worker on the frontline, has also been painted on the surface of Mold Road, which is one of the key roads in and out of the town centre.
In a joint statement, leader of Wrexham Council, Cllr Mark Pritchard, and deputy leader, Cllr David Bithell, said the road markings are another small way of paying tribute to people who are going above and beyond during the coronavirus emergency. 
They said: “This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone, but seeing the messages of support for key workers from people across Wrexham is really inspiring.
“It makes you realise how proud we are – as a county borough – of key workers. 
“They’re making a massive difference to all of our lives - helping to keep us safe, and providing us with the things we need.
“Their courage and kindness has made us all feel humble - and although saying ‘thank you’ seems like a small thing, it’s something we can do to let these people know how much we appreciate them.
“What they’re doing is amazing, and these road markings are just another small way of saying ‘thank you’ – on behalf of both the council, and Wrexham as a whole.”
