ABOUT ABENBURY COMMUNITY COUNCIL
Abenbury Community Council came into being in 1972, as a result of the Local Government Act 1972, although it has a much longer history. In 2008, following a Boundary review Abenbury was extended to include properties in the Llwyn Onn area south of Abenbury Road.
Abenbury is situated south-east of Wrexham town and includes the communities of of Pentre Maelor , Llwyn Onn, Erlas Lane and part of the Wrexham Industrial Estate and surrounding scattered properties.
WHAT WE DO
Community Councils look to improve local services and community life for residents , working independently of—yet alongside—the higher county authority of Wrexham County Borough.As a Community Council, Abenbury CC looks after the area of Abenbury in general, and responsibilities include :
- Public Amenities: Manage and maintain local assets such as public seating, some street lighting, noticeboards, bus shelters, Litter bin provision , playgrounds and community spaces
- Planning and Consultation: Act as a statutory consultee on local planning applications, offering local perspective and raising any concerns before decisions are made by the Local Authority Planning Committee
- Community Events: Organize local activities, holiday events , like the Santa Sleigh.
- Grants and Support: Provide financial assistance or grants to local clubs, charities, and voluntary groups.
- Local Representation: Voice the concerns, needs, and views of local residents to the principal county council.
How They Are Funded
- The Precept: The Community Council raises their own modest local financing through a "precept," which is a small amount added directly onto local Council Tax bills in the community they serve.
- Elected Councillors: The council consists of independently elected local residents (or co-filled vacancies) led by a Chairman
- The Clerk: They are typically supported by a paid clerk who manages administration and legal compliance.
- Public Meetings: Meetings are open to the local public to attend and share feedback
