Wirral Council is joining community safety partners across the borough in a week-long national awareness campaign about how anti-social behaviour is addressed in Wirral.
‘Openspace’ will see police working alongside a range of partners to prevent serious violence and anti-social behaviour in key tourist hotspot areas, including West Kirby and New Brighton.
Wirral residents are invited to pledge their commitment to the national anti-violence message and share feedback on the Knife Angel on display in Birkenhead Park.
A 27-foot-high sculpture of an angel is set to come to Wirral in July as part of a nationwide campaign tour highlighting the reality of knife and other violent crime.
Wirral Council has issued a warning to whoever dumped a load of hazardous waste near the public highway in Bromborough that those handing the items may be at risk of harm.
Upgrades to Wirral’s existing CCTV network have been brought in, overhauling the system with the latest technology to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
