Terrible decision Wrexham Council, the lack of consultation and speed this decision had been made should be investigated by an independent party.

I absolutely and wholeheartedly hope this petition is taken notice of. I attended Grove Park School in the 70's as my mother did during the late 1930's when she was also Head Girl. This school is an amazing building both historically and architecturally.

My elderly sister has very fond memories of this school. It is a fine building that should be preserved. Do not be shortsighted by selling these marvelous buildings for development. Think of the future.

This beautiful building once closed was never properly protected, the only protection being put in place following damage - reactive rather than pro-active. What a sad waste of a valuable resource. Shame om WCBC if they now take the irreversible step proposed. This has happened far too often in Wrexham, which has lost much of its history and its heart.

Most of Historical buildings in Wrexham are left to go to rot and then demolished - thats the council for you, there is nothing much in Wrexham now and it`s too spread out, and the Council want City status, I would rather go to Chester were the history is kept for all to see and they are proud of there past, shame on Wrexham Council.

Think it's absolutely disgusting that a building of such beauty outside and inside should be demolished. If the council are so forward thinking, surely when it first became vacant, they could have found a use for it.( Adult education) No like everything else let it rot then we can knock it down. Don't consult the people of Wrexham, oh no god forbid they have a say in what happens in Wrexham.

In just a few days WCBC. has decided to demolish one of Wrexham's most beautiful buildings and with indecent haste has voted to carry out this wanton destruction, all of this done without any consultation with the very people who voted them into office. The town has enough derelict sites which have been left unused for years, without destroying the last vestige of Wrexham's heritage to create yet another. The costs of demolition and the redevelopment of the site will ultimately cost far more than saving the building and making it into a school once again. This is a disgraceful act by a disgraceful council, who seem hell bent on ignoring public opinion and ruining what little is left of the town.

There are not many buildings of historic significance left in Wrexham. It will be terrible if another is lost forever due to a greedy council that cares nothing about the towns heritage

A jewel in an ocean of new builds. This is worth saving,it has merit on so many levels, as a beautiful building, a landmark, a place of special memories and something our children should regard as heritage. When all the architechtural symbols of the town are gone, this one will be most regretted. Whatever is planned for the site will never be as impressive or unique as this little bit of dwindling and neglected treasure.

When will they learn
It would be a travesty to destroy that building
