To demolish this building would be official vandalism on a grand scale. This is a well designed, craftsman created building of functional layout embellished with beautiful herringbone brickwork outside and parquet herringbone flooring in the classrooms. It is a quality building throughout that is beautifully complemented by the stylish sweeping twin art deco staircases that lead to the great hall gallery. An inspirational setting in which to receive an education that with relatively little outlay, (compared to new build), could be brought back into use.
If it is no longer required for educational purposes it offers itself as a magnificent centre for the arts & with sympathetic alterations and additions could even be the theatre that has long been on Wrexham`s wish list.
This building has a great presence at a strategic location on the ring road and should be given the civic pride status that it deserves.
Wake up councillors,before it is too late, this building is a PRICELESS ASSET not a liability; It must not be destroyed.

Good luck. Don't let Wrexham become any more soulless than it already is. Let's keep our heritage ours.

The building was not maintained for many years while it was still being used as the Groves. Our Council has allowed a beautiful building to be neglected for too long . We need this restored rather than an unneeded and unwanted Arts Hub.

Wrexham Council has destroyed what was a lovely market town. Do the right thing now and save Grove Park School buildings. Start listening to your voters.

i am sure they could put it to good use without pulling it down. if it couldn't be retuned to its former self as a school i am sure it could of been turned to housing.

This smells of corruption in Wrexham council, back handers and favours. Who is it exactly who is refusing to release details of the covenants. Name the person and ask them to justify their actions. And the SOH awareness campain needs to increase exponentially before some sneaky official sends the bulldozers in one quiet morning.

This is a handsome building of its time. Please retain it and restore to its former glory. Add to it for the 21st century and create once more a fantastic educational establishment as it was in the past.
Wrexham council needs to listen before it is too late. Too often in the past they have wielded the sledgehammer to buildings in the town and upset the locals.

Wrexham councillors are vandals, when the Groves moved to St David , we suspected it was to let it become derelict so it could be demolished and the prime land use to the highest bidder.

Over the years the Council has destroyed what was a lovely market town. For once do the right thing and look after Wrexham's heritage instead of destroying it.
