Officers search outside the Red Dragon pub

On Sunday night around 30 people were involved in two separate incidents near the Red Dragon pub on the estate's Prince Charles Avenue.

Police have said the violence was "racially motivated".

The housing estate on the outskirts of Wrexham is the largest in north Wales with a high rate of unemployment.

Caia Park and nearby Queensway have been highlighted as being two of the 100 most deprived wards in Wales.

Malcolm King, who represents Caia Park on Wrexham Council, said he was calling for an urgent meeting with police.

"I will be meeting the police and council officials to see how we can avoid this happening again in the future," he said.

"Any area that has social difficulties wants to develop a positive image so anything like this is a set back."

Mr King said people living on the estate have worked hard in recent years to improve their image.

"For a big council estate it's got its act together so this comes as a big shock.

"There's been a gradual increase in refugees coming to Caia Park, but I haven't been aware of any specific problems," he added.

Chris Thomas: Integration is needed

Gary Jones from Communities First, a Welsh assembly scheme set up to regenerate the area, said Caia Park does not deserve its reputation.

"The community are a strong community and it's probably the best community to work in," he said.

However he said that the refugees, estimated to be around 200 in the whole of Wrexham, have not integrated well with the estate's 14,000 residents.

"The refugees have only come in the last six months and a lot of people have been lobbying to get them to feel this is their community.

"There is a need to have somewhere where you can introduce these people into the community."

Culture differences

Zahid Noor from the North Wales Refugee Council said it was difficult to tell how many refugees live in Wrexham.

"There is no detailed record and it's not possible to say," he said.

"Most will move away once they have leave to stay, but I would say it is relatively low and there wouldn't be more than 200 refugees in Wrexham.

However, Chris Thomas, who is the secretary of Afon Tenants Association, a group for residents on Caia Park said she would welcome further integration.

"We have had a number of people who've moved onto the estate that come from various parts of the world," she said.

"There are different cultures and it's not always easy for people to understand the culture differences.

"As a residents association we've been asking to form a support network for people of all cultures on the estate," she added.
