Ms McVey, who lives in West Kirby, won with a majority of 2,436 over Labour’s Phil Davies. She said: “What a journey this has been and what a momentous General Election, with people queuing at the polling stations and a phenomenal turnout. “Thank you to everyone who made this possible. To those who came out and voted and to those who came out and helped over the last seven years, without every single one of you this result wouldn’t have been possible. “We always said we wanted to have a strong voice for Wirral West in Westminster and that’s what we’re going to do.” Fake £20 notes COUNTERFEIT £20 notes have been in circulation in the Hoylake and West Kirby area. Local shopkeepers have reported they are receiving £20 notes and then realising afterwards that they are counterfeit. The two serial numbers to look out for are AE17687534 and AL27448990.

After filling a medical questionaire it was time for the treat- ment to begin. I had decided to have my tummy area done as although I do sit ups every day, I still have a few wobbly bits to contend with. Taking a tape measure, Denise measured three areas around my stomach, I then lay on a bed with a cover over me whilst Denise explained the science behind the treatment which in itself is very simple, A belt with laser paddles was placed around my tummy, the laser beams then penetrate the skin to a depth of 9mm, to reach the layers of fat which then sets off a reaction which involves the fat being broken down and put back into the digestive system where it is then dispersed the natural way… After just 20 minutes the treatment was over and I was measured again, I was amazed I had lost a total of 21/2 inches off my stomach area.

  • Wirral Council
    Council – 13 December 2010 MATTERS FOR DEBATE The Council is asked to consider the following motions, submitted in accordance with the notice required by Standing Order 8(1), and objections and amendments submitted in accordance with Standing Order 7(2). The order of business is as determined by the party groups in accordance with Standing Order 5(4) and the times for speeches by Standing Order 12(8) (all other speakers have 3 minutes). 1. MOTION: PROTECTION OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS OF WIRRAL Proposed by Councillor Jeff Green (7 minutes) Seconded by Councillor Lesley Rennie (3 minutes) (1) Council believes that caring for vulnerable adults with learning and physical difficulties is one of the most important functions of a fair and responsible society. (2) Council thanks the Care Quality Commission for their report exposing the failures within the Council’s provision of adult social services. (3) Council believes that this failure to protect our most vulnerable residents is a shameful failure of responsibility of senior Labour Councillors and that, by this failure, Wirral is reportedly the poorest-performing adult social services department in the country. (4) Council welcomes the Action Plan being implemented by the Interim Director of Adult Social Services to correct the failings of the past and gives its backing to the measures being undertaken by him, and the new Administration. (5) Council thanks the Liberal Democrat Cabinet Member and the members of the Interim Executive Board who meet regularly to ensure the changes identified by the CQC are implemented. (6) Council welcomes the contribution made to the consultation ‘Wirral’s Future’ by adults and users of adult social services, their carers and families and voluntary, community and faith organisations.
