Work Begins On Demolishing Former Remploy Factory

Demolition of the former Remploy factory on Stansty Road began today.

Last December Wrexham Council’s Planning Committee unanimously backed an application to demolish the former factory and build 49 houses on the site.

The new dwellings will consist of a combination of one, two and three bedroom houses. Adequate parking for the buildings will also be provided.

However one of the main concerns raised in the report was the level of traffic problems that already exist on Stansty Road and Crispin Lane. Noise levels that could be caused by traffic and also the train were also raised as potential issues for the site.

Below is an aerial shot of what the site looked like 12 months ago:

The former Remploy factory / site has been vacant since 2012. In total 41 disabled workers were made redundant when the factory closed its doors for the final time.

When we popped down the site earlier this morning,  a lot of the factory had already been demolished and there diggers moving the rubble.

It is unknown when building work for the houses will begin.
