The redevelopment is believed to have been worth more than \u00a350m to the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>Having grown up on the estate as a child, moved away and returned to the estate, Mrs Rodgers is in a unique position to comment on the metamorphosis of the estate from an eyesore which greeted visitors on the main route into Wrexham from the south, into an estate that she now recommends as a place to live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would recommend an estate like this; I love it here,\u201d said Mrs Rodgers when asked about the Hightown Estate.<\/p>\n<p>The new development, completed in the summer of 2014, has 92 new affordable and energy-efficient homes \u2013 two-, three- and four-bedroom houses, bungalows and apartments &#8211; as well as a new Community and Medical Resource Centre.<\/p>\n<h3>SBD crime prevention techniques were incorporated into the redevelopment of the Hightown Estate<\/h3>\n<p>The regeneration saw an SBD-trained Designing Out Crime Officer, who is employed by North Wales Police, work with architects, developers and local authority planners at the planning stage all the way through to construction to ensure that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/stevenage-stoneyhall-estate-benefits-from-secured-by-design-security-features\/114280\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SBD crime prevention techniques<\/a> were incorporated into it.<\/p>\n<p>These measures included incorporating natural surveillance, such as homes having unrestricted views into the street; the avoidance of excessive through movement to limit escape routes and hiding places; and the creation of defensible space, such as boundaries being protected with high fencing at the rear of properties. SBD techniques also included the increased physical security of buildings with external doors and accessible windows meeting SBD\u2019s standards for being sufficiently robust to resist attack from opportunist burglars.<\/p>\n<h3>A glowing testimonial for the Secured by Design Hightown Estate in Wales<\/h3>\n<p>Commenting on the redevelopment of the estate, Mrs Rodgers said: \u201cThere\u2019s a big difference here now there\u2019s not a big concrete block here. I grew up in the area, we lived in the tower block and we weren\u2019t allowed outside to play.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120034 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hightown-Estate-1-1920x1278.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe eventually moved away but when they redeveloped the area my husband, who works in the building trade, recommended we get a house here and so we brought one \u2013 and I feel safer now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve done a really good job, it blends in, it looks nice and they keep on top of things.
