Sarah Atherton in Wrexham General

Now that we are a city, transport connectivity within Wrexham, across Wales and cross-border with England has never been more important. We need to fully grasp the opportunities that are coming our way and capitalise on Wrexham’s new status by meeting the transport needs of residents, local businesses, and tourists. Wrexham needs a transport structure to operate like the capital of North Wales.

 

What I have done to improve transport services in Wrexham:

Cracking down on private parking firms in Wrexham:

  • Launched a parking survey to hear your views
  • Facilitated the introduction of UK Government measures and a new 'Code of Practice'
  • Raised my constituents' parking concerns in the Chamber and asked for an update on Government measures as legal challenges from parking firms have stopped progress

Involved in discussions concerning better and more regular rail services from Wrexham General Station to London, Liverpool, and Chester

Challenged the Welsh Government's imposition of a 20mph speed limit in built-up areas:

  • Launched a survey to hear your views
  • Wrote to the Welsh Government to express my concerns that constituents and visitors to Wrexham continue to drive on pothole-filled roads

Launched a new transport survey after an increasing number of complaints from constituents about the state of roads, parking, and connectivity in Wrexham: 

  • Launched a transport survey

UK Government's commitment to keeping Europe safe

Monday, 4 July, 2022

As the current situation in Ukraine sadly continues, it is only right that the UK Government has made it their priority to keep Europe safe by increasing defence spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of GDP by 2030.

Sarah asking for an update on the Government's plans to crack down on parking firms in Wrexham

Friday, 1 July, 2022

During a cost-of-living crisis, Wrexham residents should not be driven round the bend by unnecessarily extortionate and frankly unfair parking fines.
