Wrexham councillors may face jail if planning vote rejected

Councillors have been warned they could face prison if they do not vote to adopt a local development plan (LDP).

Developers brought a judicial review in November, claiming Wrexham councillors had acted unlawfully by twice refusing to adopt the plan.

The judge agreed and ordered the council to adopt it.

Wrexham council is the only local authority in Wales not to have adopted its plan, which is a Welsh government requirement.
