Town of Wrexham; City of Wrexham County Borough

Please correct the facts in your description of Wrexham. The town of Wrexham has not been granted city status and therefore remains a town. The County Borough of Wrexham has been granted city status so is a city, and also remains a county borough. To describe Wrexham as having a city centre is wrong because towns do not have city centres. In the same way, references to the borders of Wrexham should specify Wrexham County Borough at all times when referring to it as a city. Refer yourself to the Letters Patent showing the granting of city status to Wrexham County Borough. The town of Wrexham is not mentioned, therefore must remain a town (like other town and villages within the County Borough). ~2025-32846-46 (talk) 08:45, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Sources describe the settlement itself as a city,, with a "city centre" as stated by the council the status was awarded to,, overlapping the status onto the settlement and rarely using the term "town" anymore. Otherwise places from Salford, to York, aren't cities either. It was discussed on en.wiki to the same conclusion.

Can a source be found stating "the town of Wrexham, located in the city of Wrexham County Borough"?

Technically Wrexham is no longer a town either using the current legal framework, as it lacks a town council, a community council with town status, so it is technically also incorrect to state it as a "town" legally. So simpler to follow with most sources and describe the settlement, as what the status was intended for, as a city. City status is almost always awarded to an administrative entity (if available) and rarely the settlement itself, so applies to almost every UK city, all of their settlements are described as a "city".

I do recognise that the whole system is a bit of a mess. DankJae 19:21, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
