As we approach the final stages of Wrexham's Levelling Up Fund Bid, Sarah submitted the petition for the Stadium for the North to No.10.
Sarah Atherton MP said:
"The 16,000 signatures gathered shows the strength of feeling in Wrexham for the Gateway Levelling Up Bid and for the redevelopment of the Racecourse Ground’s Kop Stand. The amount of residents who have supported the petition proves the value and importance of the Governments Levelling Up Fund, after Wrexham has been neglected for two decades.
At the moment, if you live in Wrexham and want to watch an international game, you need to travel over 4 hours to Swansea or Cardiff to do so. The redevelopment of the Kop Stand would allow Wrexham to, once again, host international sporting events by increasing the capacity of the stadium. The redevelopment of the Kop Stand would allow the heritage of the oldest football ground in the world to come alive again and put Wrexham on the map, as the centre of international sport in North Wales.
It was an honour to deliver the petition to No.10, let’s all keep our fingers crossed for a successful outcome!"
