Just look how well the old War memorial hospital has blended in with Cambria college. Wrexham has lost too many buildings from our heritage.This school is craftsmen built.

I wish that this building be used for maximum imaginable social benefit! I'm available to volunteer my services as a design engineer and general labourer, to help see this through.

Thinking of demolishing this building is bad enough but then plan to build two primary school in an area that already has five schools in a radius of one mile is madness. This site is calling out to be part of Cambria college where the building could be included in an excellent post 16 education establishment. Please WBC. don't make another mistake and destroy yet another piece of our heritage and our young people's future.

This must be saved, as it is part of our heritage. How much more is going to be demolished before sense is seen?

Should this building be demolished, let those that voted for this action suffer the same fate come election time.

There are many good, constructive ideas in these comments for saving and using this fine building. Surely there has to be an end to the officially-sanctioned vandalism which has been visited upon Wrexham in the last 20 years. As someone else pointed out, red-brick buildings in Chester have been preserved and "re-purposed".

After repair it could be used as a fantastic central base for Wrexham Music Service. Orchestral ensemble choir rehearsals could take place under one roof.....

More time must be given for consideration so that an enlightened solution can be found. -

Ludicrous decision to demolish this iconic structure. Don't do it !.

A wonderful building both inside and out. A wonderful marble staircase to the hall, cloisters and parquet flooring. A great shame to lose this building. Far too good for demolition. Part of Wrexham's heritage.

A landmark and gateway into the town holding so many memories for so many of us should not be destroyed.

The building needs to be saved not destroyed , the council have taken away most of Wrexham's beautiful buildings I hope this one isn't going to be another one. I hope that the people of Wrexham are heard on this one.

Too much of Wrexham's heritage has already been lost. Once gone it can never be recovered.

Please rethink about knocking this historic building down it is part of our heritage, and am sure it could be put to better use especially when there is a shortish of houses and school places xxx

I'm astounded that this building isn't 'listed". It has the most amazing cloister, as well as the impressive marble staircase with balcony off, overlooking a large school hall / concert room.

why do wrexham councilors always want to rip the history out of the town,' and put new buildings up which probably last about twenty years.
