Patients of a Wrexham GP surgery which has been temporarily closed due to Covid are now being consulted on its permanent closure.
Alyn Family Doctors has launched the consultation on its proposal to close the GP surgery at Gresford Health Centre, which housed Alyn Family Doctors, along with district nurses and health visitors.
Since the temporary closure, which began in March 2020, patients wanting to see a GP have been asked to attend Alyn Family Doctors's other surgeries - Rossett Surgery and Llay Health Centre.
But local Conservative councillor Andrew Atkinson has vowed to fight the plans to close the surgery, which is on Poplar Avenue in Gresford.
Cllr Atkinson said: "Alyn Family Doctors have now made clear that they are re-submitting an application to the health board which would involve shutting Gresford practice to GP appointments as we know it. This was previously rejected by the health board for which we were all very grateful.
"Gresford has been shut for a long time now due to Covid and it has caused great difficulty for many residents with concerns often raised. I see no way that the doctors can point back to this period and say that it worked and therefore they can shut the practice with no impact as there are very real difficulties for my residents not least with transportation.
"I have written to the doctors asking them to extend or delay the consultation as August is a bad month for this to happen due to holidays etc for residents. The strength of feeling is huge as demonstrated at our previous consultation events and this needs to be given proper chance to be aired again if necessary by the community to the practice."
