Arts centre plan for Wrexham's People's Market

An arts centre could be opened in an indoor market to make it "more vibrant" as part of plans to regenerate Wrexham town centre.

Wrexham council has drawn up the plans for the People's Market.

It said the arts centre would be twice the size of the former Oriel gallery, which was housed in the town centre library.

Councillors will vote on the proposals, which include improvements to the market stalls and a cafe, in January.

The council said its proposals follow a series of consultations with the public and meetings with traders.

Councillor Neil Rogers, lead member for economic development and regeneration, said the plans were part of a "wider strategy to support the regeneration of the town centre".
