About

Maes-y-dre & Borras is a ward to the north of Wrexham town centre, within Wrexham County Borough. It is primarily residential, with rows of terraced and semi-detached houses alongside pockets of later private development. Local facilities include a small parade of shops and a community hall that host events and services used by residents. The name Maes-y-dre translates from Welsh as "town field", a reminder of the area's transition from fields to housing over the last century.

Transport links are oriented towards Wrexham town centre, with regular bus services on the main roads and local routes serving schools and shops. Playing fields and small greens provide outdoor space for football, walking and informal recreation, and some properties back onto more open land at the ward edge. Community groups and volunteers run allotments and local clean-up activities, and a network of residential lanes and short cul-de-sacs gives the area a recognisable street pattern.
