Church Drive Primary School in Bebington is the first school in the Liverpool City Region to benefit from a full fibre connection delivered by LCR Connect – a new 212km digital network that is capable of delivering the fastest internet speeds in the country.
Children at nine schools in Bebington are helping to make streets in the area safer and healthier for their journeys to school, as part of By Ours Bebington. The community project, led by the charity Sustrans with Wirral Council, helps residents, businesses and schools to redesign their own streets.
A major push to help Wirral recover from the effects of the pandemic is underway, with £4 million funding being used to enable a number of grassroots community projects that will combat inequality, improve the mental health of young people, and give residents the skills and equipment needed to work and play in a digital world.
Birkenhead Priory will be home to a 1.7 metre globe as part of groundbreaking UK-wide art education project 'The World Reimagined', which aims to change understanding of the transatlantic slave trade.
