cannot believe this council ! the police station, an arts centre in a carbuncle car park that reeks of urine also wanted to get rid of an iconic building such as Wrexham baths and now tear down a building of beauty which has been left empty for years by them. no wonder we play second fiddle to every other town and city in the UK, we have desecrated Wrexham's cultural past. Maybe do something for the people of Wrexham and stand up to the South favouritism that goes on in the assembly instead of following party line - be transparent or go!

This building is covered by a covenant and is listed I believe. So the council should not be able to decide its fate, the people of Wrexham should be consulted!

I worked in the school for a number of year"s and it is a much stronger built school than these so called super schools.

Such a shame, the council really need to think about this, they've already got rid of historical buildings in Wrexham then regretted it and built carbuncles in their place! This is an iconic historical building, we need to keep it, and not just knock it down because it's cheaper to build new!!

This should not be pulled down! Wrexham is already a shadow of its former self with the loss of many beautiful buildings that once gave the town history and character. We only have to look to Chester and how well they have kept the character and architecture. It's time we followed suit!

Too many beautiful buildings left to rot in order to demolish. The site could be re developed into prime residential apartments and another site with more suitable access found for the school on a nearby industrial estate.

Absolute disgrace taking this building down be nothing left of Wrexham's history if the council carry on knocking everything down because they didn't maintain it in the first place.

A typical response by Wrexham Council against yet another historic building.

A lovely old building which has formed a huge part of local history should not be demolished but enhanced to provide education for the future of Wrexham

As usual the council dont see any further than the end of their noses.This town has seen a dramatic change in what was a lively little market town to sonething so spread out.Also it allows beautiful buildings to be demolished to make way for horredous modern which dont stand the test of time eg the police station opposite to the Groves site.The old town police station could have been demolished but for objections. It has outlived the present town one.

The council have no idea about the towns history. Just look around and see concrete everywhere totally devoid of character. The planners and their lackys should be ashamed of themselves - totally inept, lacking character and backbone.

Should be saved. I'm a former pupil when it was Grove Park Grammar School, as was my Mum before me.
