The Wrexham We Want Well-being Assessment
The draft Well-being assessment is based on some work done by the Public Services Board in autumn 2016.
They asked everyone a really simple question: “what do you want Wrexham to be?”
They also asked what might get in the way of it happening. And what public services and communities need to do to make it happen.
The answers people gave have been combined with other feedback and information to produce Wrexham’s Well-Being Assessment.
This will be used to develop a plan for Wrexham County Borough that will set out how everyone will work together to create ‘The Wrexham We Want.’
Please give your feedback by Monday 27th February 2017.

The Future Generations Act
There are lots of plans. Does Wrexham really need another one?
Well, yes. The Wrexham We Want is about creating a place where we all want to live – both now, and in the future.
Along with the rest of the UK, we’re facing some big challenges in Wales. Things like poverty, economic issues, an ageing population and climate change.
So the Well-Being of Future Generations Act is a new law that aims to get public services and communities working together to tackle these challenges and improve the long-term future of Wales.
It covers things like employment, the environment, health, equalities, communities, culture, Welsh language, and our impact around the world.
Making it happen
They’re a partnership made up of lots of organisations that provide services across the County Borough.
For example the Council, health services, fire and rescue services, Natural Resources Wales, the police, probation services, Glyndŵr University, Coleg Cambria, AVOW and Welsh Government.
They want to work with local people to develop this long-term plan for Wrexham, and help put the Future Generations Act into practice.
Your voice matters.
