WIRRAL West MP Esther McVey has followed in the footsteps of Alan Sugar by appointing her own apprentice. She has taken on 18-yearold Clare Worsnup to work at her Hoylake office. Esther said: “It’s good to talk about apprenticeships but surely it is better to turn words into action. To that end, I decided to employ an apprentice to work and train in my constituency office.” Sail project hits the rocks THE controversial Sail Hotel project on the West Kirby waterfront has received a major setback. At a Wirral council meeting on 14th October, councillors voted against giving the developers Carpenter Investments more time.They thanked for the company for its efforts but that the scheme was recommended for refusal The project, which includes a new sailing club, has run into problems over traffic access and parking on the waterfront. Cllr Andrew Hodson, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Planning Strategy said: “Carpenter Investments have worked diligently to develop a scheme that would provide the people of Wirral and the region with a new high quality sailing school building and boutique hotel. “However, during this time we have been faced with one of the most hard hitting recessions on record and despite both Carpenter’s and the Council’s best efforts, have been unable to develop a proposal that adds up financially whilst delivering a realistic resolution to the loss of car parking at the Dee Lane site. Due to these issues Cabinet has decided not to proceed further with the development. “Council officers will now look at possible solutions to improving the Sailing School without impacting on the public car parking provision in the area.” I can only go one way.

  • Wirral Walking Festival 2021
    Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Wirral Walking Festival 2021 The Wirral Walking Festival, that would normally take place during May, is promoting local walks in a slightly different format this year. The Covid-19 restrictions ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ published on 22nd February means that social distancing will be in place until 21st June at the earliest. Therefore we’re not presenting a chronological list of guided walks, but are instead focussing on ‘signposting’ to groups such as The Ramblers and Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society who have an annual programme of walks. Have a look at the contributors’ websites and perhaps join one of the local groups and (when you can) join them on one of their walks and discover the historic towns and villages and diverse landscapes that make the Wirral Peninsula such a wonderful place. Health Walks, Buggy Park Fitness and Run in Wirral are currently going ahead but please check their websites and social media for updates. Feedback is important to allow us to continue to improve and develop the programme so please contact the Wirral Walking Festival Coordinator: [email protected] Many thanks to Hazel Thomson who has once again allowed us to use one of her paintings for the festival brochure cover. To see more of Hazel’s art please visit her website at: http://www.hazelthomsonart.com/ Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Many of the walks offered by the different groups featured in this brochure will be accessible to people with limited mobility.

  • History & Heritage, Food & Drink, Habitats & Wildlife and Health Walks
    Wirral Walking Festival 2013 Choose from over 100 varied walks in May: History & Heritage, Food & Drink, Habitats & Wildlife and Health Walks - there’s something for everyone! Wirral Walking Festival 2013 With over 100 guided walks this is the biggest walking festival that has been organised on the Wirral Peninsula and I’m delighted that so many organisations and individuals have contributed to the event to make it one of the highlights of the Wirral 2013 events calendar. There is a full and varied walks programme throughout the festival, with short walks around some of our historic villages to longer ‘treks’ through the Wirral countryside and around the coast. The Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society celebrate their 125th anniversary in 2013, and have kindly sponsored the printing of the event publicity posters, and Wirral Country Park will be celebrating its 40th birthday as one of the very first designated Country Parks in Britain. Wirral Council’s Rangers are organising a number of guided walks for the Walking Festival in addition to their regular events and activities programme which can be found by visiting the Parks and Countryside Section at www.wirral.gov.uk This truly Wirral-wide event will hopefully introduce people to parts of Wirral that they have never visited and will ‘showcase’ the peninsula as one of the most diverse and interesting places in the country to live and visit. If you prefer to explore the peninsula on your own then please have a look at the self-guided trails available to download at www.visitwirral.com If you want to explore the wonderful Wirral coastline, tide times are available for any single day throughout the year by phoning the Thurstaston Visitor Centre on 0151 648 4371 or by e-mail to [email protected] I hope you will join us on one of the 2013 Wirral Walking Festival walks and I know that the festival organiser would appreciate any feedback which will be used to help us plan the festival in 2014.
