Wirral council has been asked to choose a new television for the room used by councillors at the Town Hall, costing around £1,000. The Members Room currently has a little-used TV, plus two computer terminals and laser printers, for use by any councillor while in the building. Now, an unnamed member (not one of the [...]
Parking Problems!
Posted in Campaigning, Challenges, Council, tagged Cars, Moreton, Parking, Town Meadow Lane on June 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of the biggest issues that people contact me about, either by email, telephone or the traditional mail system is parking, simply because of the lack of parking spaces available, particularly in residential areas, such as Edgehill Road, Kestrel Road, Borrowdale Road, and perhaps the one that gets mentioned most is the parking on Town Meadow Lane, [...]

Today, along with my Conservative colleague, Cllr Ian Lewis I attended the Merseytravel AGM. We voted AGAINST doing a deal with the Liberal Democrats to give them control – they’ve made enough of a mess of Liverpool (’worst council in Britain’), and we all know how they have betrayed the people of Wirral with their shoddy deal [...]

I was up at 5:15am this morning, and travelled to Blackpool with Cllrs Ian Lewis and Leah Fraser to help Peter Collins win the local government by-election in Park Ward, which is taking place today. We were there earlier this month, spent the day delivering leaflets and the sun was cracking the flags, but this morning the [...]
