Wirral West

All schools and colleges in Wirral will be offered mental health training as part of the national plan to provide more ‘joined up’ care. 

Wirral Councillors have voted to end the Town Hall’s failing newspaper, the ‘Wirral View’, first published in October 2016.

The publication, which has been blighted by distribution issues and criticism from residents since it’s inception, has, so far, cost the Authority £402,000.

Tough new measures announced by the Home Office to tackle illegal traveller sites have been welcomed by a Wirral Councillor.

Following the decision by Labour’s Local Campaign Forum to oppose the plans for the Hoylake Golf Resort, the Borough’s Conservative Councillors have requisitioned a special council meeting to finally end the controversial project.

Greater protections for trees in urban areas are on the way, a month after Councillor Gerry Ellis presented a petition signed by 476 people following trees being felled in Ashton Park, West Kirby.

Councils such as Wirral have been warned about the risks of putting public money into commercial property deals by the organisation that represents public finance accountants.

More than 250 residents attended last night’s meeting at Pensby, following Town Hall claims that Green Belt near the town is at risk from development.

Wirral’s Conservatives are calling for all councillors to reject the introduction of coastal parking charges when they next meet on 9th July.

A day of action in Hoylake and West Kirby saw more than 300 people take part in a public meeting and demonstration against the Town Hall’s plan for coastal parking charges.
 

Following last year's problems caused by traveller sites in Greasby and New Brighton, the Conservative Government has announced a review of the law and powers to deal with unauthorised caravan sites.
