…The Friends of Meols Park for winning the Wirral News Award for community project – Roy Shuttleworth in particular has done a sensational job – and here he is pictured below with the Mayor Andrew Hodson, Alma his wife (and fellow Park helper) and me the Chair.

And what a couple of years it’s been for the park – from no park to thriving park – and last night, care of the Friends: Roy, Mike, Carol, Rachel, Jeremy, Roy (2) and Brian, a fabulous Firework display. Hundreds and hundreds of people turned up for an afternoon and evening of fun and me being the big kid I am took some friends to ooh and ahhh at the fireworks too! Meols was my second firework display of the weekend – Saturday night I popped down to the West Kirby Sailing club to see theirs and to huddle round their giant bonfire, after which Cllr Tom Anderson and myself went to the 1940’s dance at Wallasey Town Hall arranged by the Mayoress and monies raised went to the Mayor’s charity.

Pictured above some of the Wallasey team straight from delivering and canvassing along with helpers from Wirral West for the impending by-election in Moreton West and Saughall Massie.
