About

Little Acton ward is a residential district in the northeastern part of Wrexham, characterised by its housing estates and proximity to key transport routes.

Its layout is functional, with local shops and services catering to daily needs along the main thoroughfares that connect it to the town centre and industrial areas.

The ward is bordered by the A483 road, underscoring its role within Wrexham's wider urban structure. Housing varies from terraced streets to semi-detached properties, reflecting the area's development over several decades without a single defining architectural style.
