Today, I was pleased to attend an event at Moneypenny alongside business leaders and local authority representatives to explore the opportunity of a Wrexham Investment Zone bid. At the event, I was pleased to speak in favour of Wrexham bidding for its own Investment Zone, highlighting the rich tapestry of manufacturing businesses and Wrexham holding one of the largest trading estates in Europe, which would make Wrexham a strong contender!
This is a golden opportunity for us to capitalise on Wrexham’s winning streak and take our city to the next level. I’ve had productive meetings recently with the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Secretary of State for Wales, where I’ve enthusiastically made the case for a Wrexham Investment Zone. I am keen now to work in partnership with Wrexham University, business leaders and other politicians on a cross-party basis to get the best deal for Wrexham and boost our local economy and city centre.
