Earlier this evening I, along with my colleague Cllr Ian Lewis attended Wirral’s planning committee to hear them approve the application for the new Health Park on Pasture Road in Moreton.
The developer had offered the sum of £115,000 as a sort of compensation payment for the loss of the derelict multi use games area to the rear of the site, however this money was destined to be given to the Council’s Leisure Services Department who could, and no doubt would, have spent the money on schemes that would not benefit the Moreton and Leasowe communities.
However I am pleased to report that having listened to both me, and my colleague, Cllr Ian Lewis the committee agreed to a condition which means that the £115,000 can ONLY be spent on play and sports facilities in the wards of Moreton West and Saughall Massie and Leasowe and Moreton East and in consultation with the Area Forum. A real success
Other conditions were also applied relating to the surgery hours, pharmacy hours, security fencing, landscaping and road safety, a great result for everyone!
