I am so sad to see yet another of our landmark buildings on the cards for demolition. The only reason this and many other buildings in Wrexham are up for demolition is that they have been left to decline into disrepair.Wrexham was a thriving Market Town that has been striped of its lovely old buildings .Please do not let this lovely building go the same way as Steven's tea shop,Our lovely old General Market,Buildings in High Town and many more.Lets try and keep this lovely building.Wrexham council please LISTEN to the people of Wrexham and find some way to save it...

Simple, Groves has to stay, use it for whatever purpose it may suit. Very few buildings relating to Wrexham's heritage left. Generations of students who have studied there are scattered all over the world, what a tribute to that school. The council has allowed this building to be ravaged internally by all all types of miscontents with no proper security from the outset. Initially the widows were not boarded thus the windows were smashed allowing vandals and rough sleepers access to cause destruction. Could this of been a hidden agenda by the council to accelerate the demise of the building not forgetting that once there is no place of education on the land then the covenant could be revoked. Come on WBC man-up and be the true voice of Wrexham people.

I attended this school from 1970 to 1975, loads of memories for me, and was proud to be there.
Usual thing with WCBC, wreck everything historical!

This is a lovely building which could be developed to make beautiful accommodation instead of demolishing it. This is our heritage - we should strive to save it.

Very many years ago I was a pupil at this lovely school. Behind the attractive façade were many other interesting features. It would be an act of vandalism to let it fall into a state of disrepair.

Another of Wrexham councils' follies.Whatever happened to the character market town of Wrexham that many off us grew up in. Demolition of character properties in Wrexham town, replaced by characterless ones i.e.Lampit Street area alone. The old Grove Park School is one of the very few testaments to Wrexhams' past, not only a handsome building but admired both by residents and visitors alike. Speaking for more than the majority in the local area that is was very disappointing that the superb plans that Cambrai had submitted for developing the Groves site could not be fulfilled,with the council deciding not to sell the property. I sincerely hope that the present council does not go down the road of previous Wrexham councils and destroy whats left of Wrexham's heritage. So sad.

This school building form a very important part of the Wrexham landscape. I am a former pupil and my great grandmother was the school's cook. The building deserves to be kept for future generations and put to good use.

As someone who grew up in Wrexham in the 70s and 80s, and often returns to visit family, it's obvious that too much of the town has been trashed for quick redevelopment. It would be good to see some of its decent buildings left standing.
