The Wrexham Gateway Partnership between Wrexham County Borough Council, Wrexham Glyndŵr University, Wrexham AFC and Welsh Government is continuing to develop its plans for the regeneration of the Mold Road area of the town.


Two key strands of the proposals are the integration of the public transport network, with improved links between bus and rail services and the creation of a regionally significant sporting and events stadium at the Racecourse Ground.


Minister for North Wales Ken Skates said:



> “I am delighted we have taken crucial preparatory steps for the Mold Gateway development by acquiring two plots of land which are essential to deliver the ambitions of the partnership.
> 
> 
> “It shows our commitment to drive the redevelopment of this part of Mold Road forward.  We are demonstrating our determination to maintain momentum, even through the Coronavirus crisis, by securing these two essential sites. 
> 
> 
> “We are also making a solid statement of intent – that the Welsh Government is firmly behind the Partnership’s ambitions and is intent on delivering real and aspirational change on this site.


Councillor Mark Pritchard, Leader of Wrexham Council, said:



> “Although it’s early days, the acquisition of this land is a hugely important step.
> 
> 
> “It shows the partnership is serious about the project, and about transforming the fortunes of Wrexham town centre into something really special – benefitting the whole community, making the railway station more accessible and ensuring that the Racecourse Stadium is the focal point for events which the whole of North Wales can enjoy.
> 
> 
> “I want to thank our partners – including Ken Skates and the Welsh Government, Professor Maria Hinfelaar and Glyndwr University, and Spencer Harris and the board at Wrexham Football Club – for working tirelessly alongside us to achieve this important step forward.
> 
> 
> “Wrexham and the rest of Wales is facing huge challenges at the moment because of Covid\-19, so it’s more important than ever to keep moving forward with aspirational projects like this.


Welcoming the Minister’s statement, Professor Maria Hinfelaar, Vice\-Chancellor of Wrexham Glyndŵr University said:



> “It is wonderful to see the ambitious vision for the new Gateway into Wrexham gradually becoming a reality, with practical steps being taken and government investment being committed. At the university, staff and students will embrace this opportunity and we look forward to working with partners to deliver the plans.


On behalf of the Board of Wrexham AFC, Spencer Harris commented:



> “This is a critical step on the journey to a redeveloped KOP Stand. The purchase of the land immediately behind the KOP demonstrates the ongoing commitment and ambition of Welsh Government which matches that of the other Gateway partners. Whilst these things take time, this announcement will signal to the people of North Wales that a premier sporting facility for the region will again be on their doorsteps as part of the wider regeneration of the area.


The plots acquired are the former garage showroom on the junction of Crispin Lane and Mold Road – including the land immediately behind the Kop Stand at the Racecourse.  This land is expected to accommodate in part, a newly developed stand at the football ground. The second plot is the former Countrywide Stores building, opposite the entrance to Wrexham General Station. It is intended to be developed primarily to improve the interface between bus and rail transport, and other developments.

Mae Partneriaeth Porth Wrecsam rhwng Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam, Prifysgol Wrecsam Glyndŵr, Cymdeithas Clwb Pêl\-droed Wrecsam a Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ddatblygu eu cynlluniau ar gyfer adfywio ardal Ffordd yr Wyddgrug yn y dref. 


Dau faes amlwg o’r cynigion yw integreiddio y rhwydwaith trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, gyda chysylltiadau gwell rhwng y gwasanaethau bws a rheilffordd a chreu stadiwm chwaraeon a digwyddiadau pwysig yn rhanbarthol ar dir y Cae Ras. 


Meddai Ken Skates, Gweinidog Gogledd Cymru:



> “Dwi’n falch iawn ein bod wedi cymryd camau paratoadol hollbwysig gyda datblygiad Porth yr Wyddgrug drwy brynu dau lain o dir sy’n hanfodol i gyflawni uchelgeisiau y bartneriaeth.    
> 
>    
> 
> “Mae’n dangos ein hymrwymiad i sbarduno’r broses o ailddatblygu’r rhan hwn o Ffordd yr Wyddgrug.  Rydyn ni yn dangos ein penderfyniad i gynnal y momentwm, hyd yn oed yn ystod yr argyfwng Coronafeirws, drwy brynu y ddau safle hollbwysig yma.   
> 
>     
> 
> “Rydyn ni hefyd yn gwneud datganiad cadarn o fwriad – bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn gadarn y tu ôl i uchelgeisiau’r Bartneriaeth hon ac yn benderfynol o sicrhau newid gwirioneddol ac ysbrydoledig ar y safle hwn.


  

Meddai’r Cynghorydd Mark Pritchard, Arweinydd Cyngor Wrecsam:



> “Er mai dechrau ydym, mae prynu y tir hwn wedi bod yn gam hynod bwysig. 
> 
> 
> “Mae’n dangos bod y bartneriaeth o ddifrif ynghylch y prosiect, ac am drawsnewid dyfodol canol tref Wrecsam yn rhywbeth gwirioneddol arbennig – o fudd i’r gymuned gyfan, gan wneud yr orsaf reilffordd yn haws ei chyrraedd a sicrhau mai Stadiwm y Cae Ras yw’r canolbwynt ar gyfer digwyddiadau y gall Gogledd Cymru gyfan eu mwynhau.   
> 
>     
> 
> “Dwi am ddiolch i’n partneriaid – gan gynnwys Ken Skates a Llywodraeth Cymru, yr Athro Maria Hinfelaar a Phrifysgol Glyndŵr, a Spencer Harris a’r bwrdd yng Nghlwb Pêl\-droed Wrecsam – am weithio’n ddi\-flino ochr yn ochr â ni i gyrraedd y cam ymalen pwysig hwn.



> “Mae Wrecsam a gweddill Cymru yn wynebu heriau enfawr ar hyn o bryd oherwydd  Covid\-19, felly mae’n bwysicach nag erioed i barhau i symud ymlaen gyda prosiectau ysbrydoledig fel hyn.


Gan groesawu datganiad y Gweinidog, dywedodd yr Athro Maria Hinfelaar, Is\-Ganghellor Prifysgol Glyndŵr Wrecsam:



> “Mae’n wych gweld y weledigaeth uchelgeisiol hon ar gyfer y Porth newydd i Wrecsam yn dod yn wir, gyda camau ymarferol yn cael eu cymryd a’r Llywodraeth yn ymrwymo gyda’u buddsoddiad. Yn y brifysgol, bydd y staff a myfyrwyr yn croesawu’r cyfle hwn ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at gydweithio â phartneriaid i gyflawni’r cynlluniau.


Ar ran Bwrdd Cymdeithas Bêl\-droed Wrecsam, dywedodd Spencer Harris:



> “Mae hwn yn gam hollbwysig ar y daith i ail\-ddatblygu eisteddle’r KOP. Mae prynu y tir yn union y tu ôl i’r KOP yn dangos ymrwymiad parhaus ac uchelgais Llywodraeth Cymru sy’n cyd\-fynd ag uchelgais y partneriaid eraill. Er bod y pethau hyn yn cymryd amser, bydd y cyhoeddiad hwn yn dangos i bobl Gogledd Cymru y bydd safle chwaraeon o safon uchel ar gyfer y rhanbarth ar garreg eu drws unwaith eto fel rhan o’r adfywio ehangach yn yr ardal.


Y lleiniau tir sydd wedi’u prynu yw hen safle arddangos y modurdy ar gyffordd Crispin Lane a Ffordd yr Wyddgrug – gan gynnwys y tir yn union y tu ôl i Eisteddle Kop ar y Cae Ras. Mae disgwyl i’r tir hwn gynnwys yn rhannol eisteddle newydd ar y cae pêl\-droed. Yr ail ddarn o dir yw hen adeilad Countrywide Stores, dros ffordd i’r fynedfa i Orsaf Gyffredinol Wrecsam. Y bwriad yw ei ddatblygu yn bennaf i wella’r cysylltiad rhwng y drafnidiaeth fysiau a rheilffordd, a datblygiadau eraill.
