The Chair welcomed Kenny Bradshaw and Joe Smith (Technical Services) to the meeting to discuss an item that had been added to the agenda - plans for proposed road improvements at Arrowe Park. Kenny informed the forum that it is proposed, as part of the local Transport Plan 2, to carry out improvements from the Thingwall Roundabout to Arrowe Park 4 Section 1 Minutes of the last meeting and matters arising Hospital to improve the traffic flow. This will include converting the Arrowe Park Roundabout to signal control junction; junction improvements at entrance to Cherry Orchard Public House, Landican Cemetery and Hospital entrance. These will include traffic lights, pedestrian facilities, replacement street lighting and cycle ways. It is also proposed to remove the existing bus interchange and place two new bus stops on Woodchurch Road (to take the buses off the main carriageway), and to remove the public conveniences and carry out landscaping in this area and around the gates to Arrowe Park. Anyone interested in viewing and commenting on the plans can call on board the Council mobile bus unit. It will be located at the entrance to Arrowe Park Hospital on Thursday, June 30 from 9.30am to 8pm and it will also be at Arrowe Park Roundabout itself on Friday, July 1 at the same time. Kenny informed the forum that he would be happy to answer any questions / issues. Members of the Public - There is a problem with cars being parked on both side of the road, causing a bottleneck, on the approach to the roundabout from Heswall. Kenny - This is an Urban Clearway – so will ask the Enforcement Officers to look into this. There will also be lots of Traffic Regulation Orders included in the Scheme to help alleviate such problems in the future. It is dangerous to cross Church Lane as cars speed along, even though it is a 30mph zone. There is also an Infant and Junior School in the road and they park along here causing parking problems for the residents. The problems are also made worse as it is also a bus route. It is only a matter of time before someone is killed. The Police have been approached about this and have suggested that I start up a petition, but do not feel that I should have to do this to resolve the problem. Kenny – Will request the Road Safety Department to arrange for the speed trailer to be placed here. Barbara Moores - Will any of the pavement or roadway be taken away for the landscaping at Woodchurch Road (to the roundabout) and where is the land for the landscaping coming from? Kenny – There is enough existing land for the proposed landscaping and the roadway / pavement will not be reduced to provide this. There has been a major consultation regarding the landscaping at Landican Cemetery. Mr Garrett - Buses stopping at the Cherry Tree Public House bus stop causes traffic to stop, will there be lay-bys added in this area? Kenny – It is proposed to move the bus stop 100 metres further along the road, but not to add a lay-by as don’t want to spoil the rural look of the area by taking away the grass verges. Will moving the bus stop cause problems to visitors to the Cemetery or do people only travel by car now? Kenny – The stop will only be diverted by a short distance (100metres). 5 Section 1 Minutes of the last meeting and matters arising Will the approach from Arrowe Park to Asda be used as a diversion route? Kenny – No this route will not be used for traffic diversion. Councillor Gardiner – Will all these issues taken into consideration when agreeing this scheme, and what is the timescale for this? Kenny – Yes they will all be taken into consideration when looking at the proposed scheme, which is due to be taken to Select Committee on 1st August 2005. It is proposed that the 20-week scheme will start in September / October and be completed by March 2006. Councillor George – Can anything be done to prevent rat running? Kenny – We will try to prevent this by having the speed trailer in place. Ron Green – At least one dozen cars park by Arrowe Park Hotel causing single lane traffic – a quick solution to this would be to place Police cones in this area. Kenny – Will look into this. Councillor Quinn – What provisions will be made for emergency access? Kenny – They will be given high priority and be linked into the urban traffic controls. The Chair thanked Kenny and Joe for this update and requested that any further issues on this be passed to herself or to the Area Co-ordinator. Minute Decision : Resolved that i - the minutes of the last meeting be agreed. ii - Kenny and Joe be thanked for the update. iii. - the Road Safety Department be requested to arrange for the speed trailer to be placed at Church Lane and where required to prevent rat running. iv. – the problem of cars being park by Arrowe Park Hotel be investigated. v. – the issues raised at this meeting be taken into consideration when agreeing road improvements for Arrowe Park. Minute 2 - AREA CO-ORDINATOR'S REPORT Members of the Area Forum had received copies of the Area Co-ordinator's Report in advance. Copies were available at the meeting for members of the public. The Area Co-ordinator, Michelle Gray, highlighted the topics covered in the report (which can be viewed on the Council’s website at www.wirral.gov.uk/minute/public/area%20co%20report%20gfiuw_16505.pdf) and asked if there were any questions / issues arising from this. Michelle also informed the forum that she can be contacted about any issues prior to the next meeting. 6 Section 1 Minutes of the last meeting and matters arising Minute Decision : Resolved that: i - the Area Co-ordinator’s Report (including the minutes of the last meeting held 3 February 2005) be received. ii - the Area Co-ordinator be thanked for the report. Minute 3 - AREA PLAN UPDATE The Area Co-ordinator advised that the area plan (copies were available at the meeting for members of the public) had been developed by the forum taking into account consultations carried out at by the forums and with the Citizens Panel. She advised that the next step would be to set up a group to look at the issues and refresh the plan, which will hopefully be done by December 2005. She also informed the forum that further consultations on the new themes are to be carried out at events such as the Tranmere and Wirral Shows. Minute Decision : Resolved - that a sub group be set up to look at issues / refresh the area plan. Minute 4 - PUBLIC QUESTION TIME Members of the public raised the following issues John Durrant i. The amenities and facilities in Irby Village need to be guarded and there is a problem with rubbish at the centre of Irby (car park). Chair - The hit squad will be sent to the area to address the litter problem on Wednesday / Thursday this week, and this will be monitored by the Streetscene Manager. ii. The bench by the bungalow is used by lots of people walking from Irby Village to Pensby, and is maintained by local residents. Two petitions have been submitted to the Council (one for and one against keeping the bench). I feel that the bench should be retained and another one placed by the boys’ school.

  • The Woodchurch Controversy, 1944
    The Woodchurch Controversy, 1944 Lilian Potter During the late 1930s rapid changes were taking place in the social structure of the country, and expectations of standards in housing and health care had risen dramatically since the publication of the Tudor Walters Report in 1918. The Second World War accelerated the changes. Although improved standards of living were widely expected, both in standards of housing and in a more pleasant environment, the general public seemed to appreciate that Utopia would not emerge immediately the hostilities ceased. There was a recognition, rather, that public intervention might avoid a repetition of past mistakes, and thus an expectation that the public would have some input into decision-making about housing.1 In that, the public mood was unlike that of its counterpart after the signing of the Armistice in 1918, when euphoria overwhelmed socio-economic reality and precipitated state provision of housing for the working class.2 During the early 1940s public interest in rebuilding Britain, or rather in planning for rebuilding Britain, was officially encouraged at all levels by exhibitions and numerous publications. As well as Town planning by Thomas Sharp, the first manager of Letchworth Garden City and a past president of the Town Planning Institute, there were pamphlets and booklets issued by political parties and other interested institutions, including the Co-operative Building Society.3 Popular magazines and periodicals also spurred on a growing public 1 L. Potter, 'National tensions in the post-war planning of local authority housing and the “ Woodchurch controversy” ’ (unpub. Ph.D. thesis, Liverpool Univ., 1998), pp.

  • Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter, January 2020
    Wirral Rights of Way Newsletter - January 2020: This newsletter provides an update on work carried out in 2019 and sets out my aspirations for 2020. The Wirral Public Rights Of Way network continues to be maintained to enhance the public’s access to the 75 miles of public rights of way, plus a further 25 miles of permissive footpaths, bridleways and off-road cycle tracks. This is in addition to the 15 miles of the Wirral Way within Wirral Country Park from West Kirby to Hooton. The overall aim of promoting and maintaining these historic public routes is to provide an accessible recreational facility, helping to improve health and wellbeing as well as connectivity to employment for Wirral residents and visitors alike, whilst also making a contribution to the area’s visitor economy. England Coastal Path: This is a substantial project to improve walking access around the coast of England. Throughout 2020, I will continue to work with Natural England to deliver the 18 mile Wirral section from Birkenhead to the Cheshire border. This new national trail of 2,700 miles around the coast of England will be the longest coastal path in the world when it is completed in the next couple of years. Following many site visits totalling 36 days from January – October I have spent much of the year surveying the route and compiling complex spreadsheets to put a cost against the several hundred new infrastructure points such as signs, posts, bridges, steps, board walks. I have also helped with the habitat assessments. It is now expected that the much delayed report laying out the proposals for the Birkenhead to the Welsh border section will be published in Spring 2020.
