Caia Park is home to 14,000 people

The violent outbreak in Wrexham's Caia Park, followed friction between a number of Iraqi refugees and longer-term residents of the estate.

The community are now trying to get back on their feet and portray a more positive image of their area.

"What would be very good would be to get the private sector to come and invest in the area," said Rosemarie Williams, chief officer for Caia Park Partnership - a community development organisation.

"If you look at the economy of the estate we haven't got many jobs for people.

People do genuinely want to get out but there are lots of barriers to that Rosemarie Williams Caia Park Partnership

"We haven't even got a launderette and drying facilities on the estate so there's plenty of scope I think for people creating employment.

"We can't just rely on people mobilising themselves from the estate, we need support from different levels.

"They need to earn a living and they need to earn a substantial wage.

"In the past paid work has been poorly paid so some people have resorted to being on benefits because they have more on benefits than they do on a lower wage."

Caia Park is the largest local authority housing estate ever to be built in Wales and is home to almost 14,000 people.

The estate contains two of the most deprived wards in north Wales with male unemployment running at around 16%.

Over 70 people were arrested during the rioting

"It is very unlikely that new major employers can be attracted into Caia Park," said Steve Bayley from Wrexham Council.

"Inward investment is very limited and most growth in employment these days comes from the expansion of existing firms.

"Obviously, they will expand where they are rather than move, if at all possible."

During the nights of the disturbances - which North Wales Police claimed was race related, local people told BBC News Online that they resented refugees having jobs and cars.

However Rosemarie Williams said it was not an issue of race.

"It could be any group that are seen to be getting on OK," she said.

"Because traditionally people have had low paid jobs they find it very difficult to get off the estate because of lack of transport, then sometimes there may be jealousy of any groups but not race.

"People do genuinely want to get out but there are lots of barriers to that.

"One of the main problems is childcare.

"There's no affordable childcare on the estate so people would need to earn a lot of money to be able to afford childcare," she added.

Members of the Caia Park Partnership hope to help set up a facility for people requiring childcare set up.
