Arrogance of council

Wirral News — Tue, 14 May 2013 23:00:00 GMT

IN RESPONSE to Tony Baker’s letter last week with regard to cyclists and footpaths, the arrogance of Wirral Borough Council is unbelievable when it comes to obeying the law.

Choices to be made

Wirral News — Tue, 07 May 2013 23:00:00 GMT

WE ARE constantly being told by Wirral Council that hard choices have to be made regarding funding for various services.

Such charm helping me

Wirral News — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:00:00 GMT

AFTER an operation and 11 days in Arrowe Park Hospital, including four more visits to the operating theatre, I feel I must write and express my gratitude to those personnel who have helped me in my recovery.

He’s failed dismally

Wirral News — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:00:00 GMT

ONCE again, over the past few days, Education Secretary Michael Gove has been shouting his mouth off in the search for some new and cohesive strategy to reform our schools – and, true to form, he has once again failed dismally.

Positive side of the young

Wirral News — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:00:00 GMT

I WAS so pleased to see Wirral’s young people make front page news for being positive representatives of Wirral’s youth, and rightly so in my opinion.

Why tunnels can be free!

Wirral News — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:00:00 GMT

ONCE again, we have to get used to our trips through the Mersey Tunnels costing that little bit more.

Nothing to do with ‘fair’

Wirral News — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:00:00 GMT

THE Government claims that the Bedroom Tax is aimed at freeing up social housing for those currently in overcrowded conditions and, more importantly, it is about making the system “fair”. However, these claims do not stand up to scrutiny.

Frustration at bureaux

Wirral News — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT

I WOULD like to add my comments to last week’s letter from ‘ex-CAB volunteer’.

Respect for our parents

Wirral News — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT

I READ with interest your front page story of February 27 (‘Plans To Tackle Drunks’).

Closure will be fraught

Wirral News — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT

I AM writing on behalf of the Day Centres Services being cut by the council.

Plan offers us contempt

Wirral News — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT

TRAGICALLY, Wirral Borough Council are intent on closing one of the three large day centres at either Moreton, Heswall or Eastham.

Please think of others

Wirral News — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT

MAY I remind people that car park A1 at Arrowe Park Hospital is solely for the use of people attending the hospital. It is difficult at most times of the day to find a vacant space, sometimes having to wait some time until one becomes vacant.

Help us beat meningitis

Wirral News — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT

I WAS deeply saddened to read in your recent article that brave Birkenhead schoolgirl Daisy Metcalfe, 15, died of meningitis on Friday, January 11, surrounded by loved ones.

Harrowing festive antics

Wirral News — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT

IT was only recently that I was writing about how much I loved living in West Kirby – the place, the people, everything about it frankly. But I was harrowed to see some of the antics that went on over the Christmas period, where manners seem to go out of the window all in the name of ‘Festive Cheer’.

Make your voice heard

Wirral News — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT

STAFF at Heyberry House care home in Birkenhead want to hear about older people’s life experiences, in a national project where people over 60 will contribute to the words of a charity song to be released as a single.

Is council fit for purpose?

Poorest hit hardest

Wirral News — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT

MR Frank Field’s comments on government cuts (Wed November 14) are very welcome but should have been angrier and splashed across the front of the News – not back on p32.
