"Working together we will tackle this issue and ensure that drivers don’t put themselves or others at risk. A lot of these areas are in residential areas and or by schools and therefore please take care when you are out and about.

"With regards to parking, we know there are a number of issues, including but not limited to the city centre (Town Hill and High Street) and by the football stadium.

"We are currently working with our traffic enforcement officers in Wrexham County Council to address this problem. Any vehicles parked inappropriately or inconsiderately will be dealt with by Wrexham Council and any vehicles parked dangerously or causing an obstruction will be dealt with by NWP.

"Neither NWP nor the Council want to look at enforcement, but if vehicles are parked showing no consideration for others, then positive action will be taken. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

"If your vehicle is causing an obstruction we do have the powers to remove it, which will be at great cost to you."
