In my opinion, demolition was always the plan. Shame.

I support the petition to save the Grove Park Girls School. Coleg Cambria were happy to remodel the beautiful building for their students . Why do Wrexham Council feel the need to demolish the building

Disappointed with the council who yet again wants to demolish a building that has been part of Wrexham history since 1938. No doubt if it goes ahead, we will have to drive past a concrete creation, a faceless building of no future historic value! Typical thinking of a council which appears to have people making these decisions who have no connection to the town or it's history.

There is so much history in our town that we are so quick to get rid of. I find it a shame

There are too many beautiful buildings being bulldozed down. It seems to be the easiest option as the Council have probably got a hearty pot of gold lined up from a builder! I hope some other option is found soon.

Dont demolish this icon building. So many buildings in Wrexham have just been left to rot and then demolished, there will be no historic buildings left at this rate.

It can be made for apartments, it's such a lovely building, a shame to see it go

Another back hand shady deal for some lucky buggers to line there hand made silk pockets at our expense. ( THE TAX PAYERS )

The Council should have looked after this building in the first place and stop dithering about what to do with it. The longer it's left the more it will cost, save Wrecsam's heritage and make use of the building with demolition.

I have to echo others, why demolish a school to build another school. Preserve Wrexham's heritage, put the building to good use until a new school is required. This is not about fighting progression, we can still progress whilst using what is already there - aren't we all encouraged to 'recycle' these days??!!

Would make a lovely Hotel, could a part of it be used as a police station, ample parking, A pop up temporary car park, Arts Centre, Conference Centre, School .. endless possibilities. Its no good just harping on about the cost , without appreciating the VALUE ... SAVE IT FOR WREXHAM.

Why destroy a school to build a school, renovation would be cheaper and keep the iconic beautiful building in the town centre.

This building should not be demolished it could be restored we have lost enough of old Wrexham to council modern ideas

Renovation surely not destruction. Too many 'new' buildings of poor quality in Wrexham already

I like Darren Williams attended this school as did my brother and previous generations. To knock the building down would be a complete travesty. The old entrance (which as pupils, we were never allowed to use unless with permission) looked so grand with the staircase either side. Keep the old part of the building, repair where needed and build behind it ! I was gutted when I saw the gymnasium demolished as I was one of the members of the architects team that designed it. I was so proud to have been part of that team as it was my old school.
