Wrexham bus consultation: five free September drop-ins

The published event information does not specify accessibility arrangements or detailed transport guidance for the venues. Anyone who needs those details should seek confirmation from the organisers before travelling.

Residents can comment on routes and frequencies

The September sessions sit within an eight-week public engagement exercise beginning on Friday 14 August. Feedback is being sought on a proposed North Wales network co-designed by Transport for Wales and local authorities under the Welsh Government’s wider bus reform programme.

The proposal sets out the routes and service frequencies that could operate within the funding currently available. The broader reform programme is intended to produce more reliable connections, fairer fares, and simpler tickets and timetables, while Transport for Wales is working towards better connections and more frequent services through bus franchising by 2030.

That means the consultation is not limited to general opinions about public transport. Residents can use the sessions to describe their experience of existing services and identify the connections, frequencies or timetable arrangements they would like planners to consider.

Wrexham Council’s lead member for environment, Councillor David A Bithell, said £650,000 invested over the past three years had helped increase passenger numbers by 163,000. He urged residents to share their experiences and say what they want from bus services in the future.

Lee Robinson, Transport for Wales’ executive director for regional transport and integration, said community feedback would help shape a network designed to work better for passengers now and in the future.

How to respond without attending a session

Residents who cannot reach one of the five venues can submit their views online through Transport for Wales. Paper copies are also available on request and at the drop-in events.

The engagement remains open for eight weeks from 14 August, giving passengers another way to respond if none of the September dates or locations is suitable.
