The results are in - Christmas Decorations Competition 2025.
The judging panel had a difficult task to select the top three. Throughout the village we counted 105 properties with external Christmas Lights, up 8% on last year. We visited 22 streets and thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was a real pleasure and we know a lot of work has gone in to spread good cheer at this time of year.
Drum roll please....! First on the podium, awarded 3rd prize of £40 is Ms. Nat Davenport on The Ridgeway, then our 2nd prize winner of £60 is Mr. Peter Baldam on Berwyn Close. Our 1st prize of £100 is awarded to Ms Nic Lovell on Berwyn Drive. Click here for pictures posted on our Facebook page.
It is the second occasion we have a prize winner in Berwyn Drive, on the way to being renamed Santa Street !! Special mention to the family of last years winner on Marcella Crescent who did Len proud by putting on a fantastic display again this year, in his honour.
Many congratulations from Cllr. Clare Davies (Vice Chair), Cllr. Cim Francis and Cllr Megan Rathbone who were the judges.
Special mention to thank a generous resident for suggesting this competition and again donating the 1st Prize.

Initial contact letter from RWE who are seeking planning permission to develop a Solar Farm on c.400 acres. The 3 suggested array areas (West, Central and East) in part will be sited on the area South of Wrexham historically known as The Maelor.
Marchwiel Community Council have submitted a completed Consultation feedback form which you can view here.

Just received a recently published document from RWE.  This provides an outline of how they conducted the informal consultation, the feedback received and how RWE intend to adapt their approach for the formal pre-application consultation. Click here to view.
A formal planning application is expected with another Public Consultation based on the details.  Keep checking back here for updates. 

Marchwiel's Nature Reserve

Marchwiel's Nature Reserve - continues to be restored and updated. New information boards are almost complete which will inform you of the wildlife and plants living on site. A viewing platform will allow you to view birds at a closer distance. A Kingfisher pole is to be erected in the middle of the main pond so you might be lucky enough to be able to see a Kingfisher close up.

Completion of this work has and is delayed due to material costs increasing and the need to obtain new quotes. The boardwalks and kickboards have been repaired/replaced. Members are hoping to host an event where the Ranger would be present to give tours and explain what we have present.
