A Garden Village was built in Wrexham in 1913-17. In the 1920s and 1930s Wrexham council began the work of slum clearance. At that time a new council house estate was built at Acton Park. In the 1930s other council estates were built at Spring Lodge and Maes Y Dre. The boundaries of Wrexham were extended in 1965. In the 1950s a council estate was built at Queens Park.

Cllr Roberts said Wrexham's funding will mean the council can only help build 13 affordable properties in Wrexham over the next two years. And he revealed that three of these properties will be special needs homes – meaning Wrexham Council, through housing associations, will only be able to provide a handful of general affordable homes over the next two years.
