In October I blogged on the Council spending £28,000 on a trip to Shanghai for the World Expo next year. I argued then that we should be using that money to deliver basic services in Wirral, such as re-instating the school crossing patrols that were axed, or refurbishing Linear Park in Moreton.

Yesterday I blogged on PC madness regarding the loss of humour in calling bingo numbers, that was bad enough. But today I read that the British Transport Police (BTP) removed the word Christmas from posters for fear of offending non believers or people of other faiths! Read more of that by clicking HERE.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. 2009, for us here in Moreton, and the wider community has been difficult, with the sad and tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Suzanne Moseley. Whilst most of us are enjoying Christmas with our families in [...]

Currently there are three takeaways on Upton Road, with the former Fosters Greengrocers also having planning permission for change of use to a takeaway. Across the roundabout on Pasture Road there are a further four [...]
