Residents Awards
Nomination Forms are now available for residents of Caia Park to nominate someone who they feel has made a contribution to the area. This year we are not suggesting categories so everyone will be a Community Champion. You could nominate a good neighbour, a child or young person who has overcome difficulties, a volunteer who gives a lot to a good cause, a group that makes a difference to you and your family - anyone can be nominated provided they live in Caia Park or are being nominated for work they do in Caia Park.

Bulk Waste Collections
We are working in Partnership with the Probation Service Community Payback Scheme and the Arson Reduction Team to reduce the incidence of bulky items being left lying around the estate.
If you have large items of household waste that need disposing of from your property and you wannot get to a houseing waste sorting site, we have a Bulk Waste Collection service available (subject to criteria).
If you have any items that require collection, please call in at the Communities First office, 17/18 Gwenfro to complete a request form.
ICE - In Case of Emergency
Eight out of ten people aren't carrying information that would help if they were involved in an accident. Storing next of kin details in your mobile phone can assist the emergency services if you're unable to tell them who to contact.
Simply use your mobile's phone book to store the name and number of someone who should be contacted if you have an emergency - but add the letters ICE in front of their neame.
ICE stands for In Case of Emergency - it's what the emergency services will look for if you're involved in an accident and have your mobile phone with you.
No Cold Calling Zones
This is about local residents having the confiidence to say "NO" to uninvited sales people and warn rogue traders and cold callers that they are not welcome.
No Cold Calling Zones have already been set up in Pont Wen and Fenwick Drive areas and further areas are currently being identified to conduct research into whether people would like their area to be a No Cold Calling Zone
Caia Park Residents Panel
Caia Park has long been recognised as one of the most vibrant and active communities within Wrexham. There is never a shortage of people willing to turn their hand to any activity or task and they have long been recognised for their innovative approaches to community development.
Because of the large size of the estate, Caia Park has seven tenants and residents associations in the following areas:
- Kingsley Circle
- Rhosnesni
- Pentre Gwyn, Tanycoed and Coed Y Bryn
- Smithfield
- Afon
- Tanydre
- Springlodge
The estate also benefits from a large panel of residents from across all areas who meet collectively to look at issues and concerns raised by local people and look at ways of addressing these to improve their local area. This is known as the Caia Park Residents Advisory Panel.
