ConDem leader applauds Labour’s success as £4.5billion Wirral Waters gets the go ahead. Cllr John Salter reports

At last night’s Wirral Planning Committee meeting ’Wirral Waters’ (the largest planning application in the UK) was given the green light by Wirral’s
A beaming Cllr John Salter said: 'This is excellent news for my Seacombe Ward. It will bring much needed jobs to the whole area. We worked hard to achieve this and it is great news for everybody.'
‘hung’ Council. ‘Wirral Waters’ is an 18 million sq ft regeneration scheme which will transform the economic fortunes of Birkenhead and Wallasey, as well as Wirral and the broader Liverpool City Region. It will have a dramatic effect on Seacombe’s fortunes in providing thousands of new job opportunities.
This is a great day for the previous Labour-led administration which, during a period of more than four years, worked closely with Peel Holdings to bring the development to fruition.
Jeff must, of course, be applauded for recognising Labour’s achievement so glowingly. Subject, now, to there being no impediment from the ‘ConDem’ government it is hoped that our Council’s professional officers will continue their fruitful collaboration with Peel Holdings to begin work within a couple of years.
The Birkenhead docks site comprises more than 500 acres. The ‘Wirral Waters’ scheme will involve a £4.5 billion investment, creating many thousands of jobs during construction (which will span some 30 years). It has been estimated that as many as 27,000 jobs could exist when the work is completed.
Tate Triangle Residents’ Association ‘Fun Day’
Fun Day for Tate Triangle Residents - John reports
A mobile assault course was installed by the army.
A great highlight was the arrival of the Army. Yes, ’tis true! Soldiers of the Mercian Regiment provided a very large inflatable obstacle course and a paintball shooting gallery. A special draw was held – with proceeds going to the ‘Help the Heroes’ Fund.
This was complemented by the mobile sweet shop; the PTC; Seven Waves Radio; and then the ’go carts’.
Very popular with the young people
At the entrance the ASBO Team were stationed with the ‘Kontacta Bus’ – and Hazel came with her big dog from the dog pound.

Also in attendance was the newly created Anti dog Litter Enforcement Team, as it is becoming known (although it has a wider remit than that!)
The weather was perfect – slightly overcast but beautifully mild. There were lots of free goodies for the young children and the day went very well.
John said ‘I would like to extend my personal thanks to everyone who was involved to make the event a great success. It was most enjoyable with dancing and singing, football, volley ball competitions, and much, much, more to guarantee a most memorable day. This is a wonderful example of local people taking real control of their locality in the best community tradition.’
Fun attractions for all, but especially for the children
