Assets and Opportunities 5. 3G Football Turf pitches (FTPs) 6. Improved Grass Pitches 7. Changing room pavilions / clubhouses 8. Small-sided facilities 9. Appendix A: Priority Project List 10.Appendix B: Consultation List Executive Summary In summary, the LFFP for Wirral identifies opportunities to accurately target investment in football facilities across the local area. The national funding partners have significantly increased investment to accelerate efforts to deliver more and better football facilities for the grassroots game and this plan proposes a programme of 31 priority projects for potential investment that will transform local football facilities, including 3G FTPs, improved grass pitches, changing rooms pavilions/clubhouses and small-sided facilities. This LFFP will be the go-to document for football facility investment in Wirral However, it does not guarantee the success of future funding applications; each of the priority projects identified will still have to follow an application process to show how it will deliver key participation outcomes, be a quality & sustainable facility and demonstrate suitable match-funding. 62 13 Improved grass 3G FTPs pitches 14 13 Changing Small-sided rooms/ pavilions/ facilities clubhouses Next steps When each priority project is in a position to proceed, pre- application support will be provided by the Football Foundation and the Cheshire County FA. We strongly encourage local stakeholders to maintain positive partnerships with these organisations. The successful delivery of this plan will ultimately require the collective efforts of all local partners.

Friends of Hilbre Family BBQ Year 7 parents Dear Parents/Carers It has been another excellent week at Hilbre High, which we began by holding our 6th Form Taster Day for our current Year 10 students. How mature our Year 10s looked as they partook in 6th Form lessons and followed our 6th Form dress code for the day! On Wednesday, it was the turn of our future students. Induction Day was a great success and a rewarding opportunity to meet with September’s Year 7 students. It won’t be long now until they are all playing a full part in the Hilbre community. All students visiting from their primary schools were an absolute pleasure to have with us on the day and I can honestly say that all our Hilbre staff are looking forward to meeting them again in September. On Thursday evening, we held our Sport Celebration Evening in which a range of prizes were awarded. As always, celebration of success was at the core of what we do at Hilbre! Well done to all students at the event and thank you to the many parents and carers who attended. With under 2 weeks to go now, we are looking forward to further celebratory events at Hilbre, whereby we will show our students we value their hard-work and effort over the year.
