About

Llay ward is situated in the northern part of Wrexham County Borough, bordering the community of Rossett. The area is primarily residential, with housing estates built throughout the latter half of the 20th century. It functions as a commuter settlement for the wider Wrexham area, with local amenities centered around the main road. The ward includes the large man-made Llay Lake, a former industrial reservoir now used for fishing and recreation.

The landscape is a mix of residential development and open farmland, with several small wooded areas. The local economy is supported by a cluster of industrial units on the ward's eastern side. Historically, the area was associated with mining, and the former Gresford Colliery site lies just to the south. Community facilities include a leisure centre, primary schools, and a library serving the local population.
