Summary Care Records – No Thanks!

This morning I received a letter from the NHS telling me about the scheme to capture patients data on something known as a Summary Care Record. When this was first muted I said people should be given the option to opt in, however all that we have been given is the option to opt out, [...]

Last night in my role as a Mersey Ferries Board Member and member of Merseytravel I attended a preview of the new visitor attraction at Spaceport, Wallace and Gromit in Space. The exhibition is absolutely tremendous and I believe will be a real winner with children and adults. As well as lots to look at, [...]

Readers of the Blog will be aware of the fact that back in November last year, after a 12 month battle the Council granted a gating order to close off the footway between Bradman Road and Wastdale in order to deter crime and anti-social behaviour in the area. In the last five months the Council [...]
An Artists Impression

Thanks to local resident John Owen for putting together the artists impression (pic above) of what the Vodafone Telephone Mast may look like if the planning application is approved, all I have done is added the text. It must be stressed the picture is not to scale, and is only designed to show how obtrusive [...]

A couple of months ago we were made aware, through a pre-application consultation document that Vodafone were considering submitting a planning application for a telephone mast near to Linear Park. I objected, as did many local residents. Despite those objection we have learned today that Mono Consultants has submitted a planning application on behalf of [...]
Washing Dirty Laundry!

Readers of the blog and the wider Moreton community will be aware that last year saw the end of an era, when Fitz’s General Store on Hoylake Road closed after many years trading in the town. It closed because of ill health of Mrs Fitzpatrick, not as a result of the Tesco Express which opened [...]
Vehicle Depollution Plant, APPLICATION REFUSED

Readers of the blog and the wider Moreton Community will be aware of the retrospective planning application for a vehicle depollution plant on the Tarran Way Estate in Moreton. In December I submitted a petition on behalf of local residents, who were objecting to this ‘inappropriate’ application so close to residential properties. I was told the [...]

Yesterday I attended the third in a series of meetings with Wirral Partnership Homes (WPH), shopkeepers and architects to discuss the way forward in the much needed redevelopment of this site. Since our last meeting the architects have met with shopkeepers to ensure the new shop units would meet the needs of the existing businesses, [...]
NHS – Safe in Labours Hands?
Posted in Health, tagged Arrowe Park Hospital, Leah Fraser, New Labour, NHS, VCH, Wirral University Teaching Hospital on March 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I think the answer to that is a very firm NO. Wirral University Teaching Hospital (Arrowe Park) is closing wards, cuttting beds and jobs, to save £38.75 million over the next three years, add that to the closure of wards 6 & 7 at VCH a few years ago and you can see damaging impact [...]
