What the petition asks
The "Army 2020 Refine" strategy may relocate a Wrexham-based REME unit to Bristol.
Wrexham's proud to be a garrison town. The Armed Forces is an integral part of our history and culture.
There is no shortage of evidence to suggest that the Wrexham Community supports the Armed Forces.

A strong presence on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday is testament to the Wrexham Community’s high regard for the Armed Forces. In 2016, when veterans expressed a wish for their association standards to be preserved, the people of Wrexham recognised the importance of protecting our veterans' legacy, and raised almost £12,000 to make this possible.
