A blueprint to slash carbon emissions from waste is being endorsed by local authorities across Liverpool City Region.

Sections of work on the promenade, flood wall and highway on South Parade in West Kirby are forecast to be completed in April. An official opening of the scheme by the Mayor of Wirral is planned for May.

A share of £165,000 is up for grabs to help community groups make Wirral an even cleaner and greener place.

Wirral Country Park will mark the 50th anniversary of its official opening with a busy programme of events this year.

Works on the West Kirby Promenade are progressing well with the new finished surfacing on the promenade starting next week.

Councillors have given the green light to plans to extend the numbers of Wirral roads which will have speed limits reduced to 20mph.

As we enter the month of February, why not show some love to Wirral’s environment, and attend one of the council’s tree planting events.
