The waste that was fly-tipped seems consistent with a house clearance or renovation of some kind as it included items of kitchens and bathroom furniture, porcelain sinks and toilets, nails, wood etc.
The funding for the programme was secured following a bid to the National Lottery Community Fund, coordinated by Wirral Council in partnership with community organisations
The ‘Love Where You Live’ initiative is being reignited across Wirral as a way of enabling community-minded residents to get involved in local activities such as litter-picking to help improve their neighbourhoods.
Wirral Council and their waste contractor, Biffa, are investing in staff and equipment to put more manual cleansing of pavements in place in areas such as Rock Ferry
With warmer temperatures continuing, residents are being encouraged to enjoy everything Wirral has to offer while helping to keep themselves, others and the environment safe.
“Such actions could have deadly consequences – the equipment is there so that anyone can literally throw someone a lifeline should they get themselves into difficulty in the water."
Wirral was one of 52 councils that successfully applied to the Chewing Gum Task Force and received £27,500 in funding for use solely to clean gum off pavements and prevent further gum littering.
Following consideration of each of the plans, four areas have been offered a conditional Land Use Agreement to enable to them to deliver their events – these are on council land at Leasowe, Beechwood, Noctorum and Seacombe.
As the original order was coming to an end, similar complaints of anti-social behaviour were starting to increase which is why community safety partners, including Wirral Council and Merseyside Police, with the support of businesses and residents in the area, sought to renew it.
Birkenhead Park has been added to the Government’s newly announced ‘UK Tentative List’ for potential nomination for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
