NHS is on its knees through underfunding, semi-privatisation and profiteering. Very long waiting lists for many treatments.

The medical community is discovering the huge amount of hidden physical and biological damage that Covid has caused, even to those that only had a mild infection.

Sunak's response? "I'm going to crack down on sicknote culture".

Nice man!

Sure thing, if you're around Bromborough and craving a chill spot with outdoor seating on a Sunday evening, you might wanna check out The Old Quay. They've got a nice outdoor area and tend to stay open pretty late.

Can anyone recommend a good fencing guy? Some of mine blew down last week and most I have rung are too busy which is understandable, but just thought maybe you know of a reliable one.

Hi, does anyone know a car painter. Im hoping to find someone decent, but wont cost me the earth. Thx guys

We spotted a traffic warden of some sort the other day, I was with an ex-traffic warden and made a comment. iirc it was not far from Woodside.

The parking control contract is handled by NSL Services and their operatives may be known as Civil Enforcement Officers.

The Council has backed down from pressure that accused them of profiteering from parking hence contracted out so they don't get the blame - it is a ludicrous claim, you only get a PCN when you are probably parked incorrectly. There is a ten minute grace period on all marked parking areas.

In 2023 there were 16785 PCNs issued, 2457 outstanding, 1337 (8%) successfully appealed and £506,347 received.

In 2024 there were 2957 PCNs issued up to the middle of March.

If you know of regular incorrect parking, inform the Council and they tell NSL who will try and include random checks there. If you know of regular obstruction, inform the Police.

In the future, Wirral "should" be posting annual reports here https://www.patrol-uk.info/annual-report/?au=Metropolitan%20Borough%20of%20Wirral assuming it is not replaced by some other scheme.

I'm sure you are right, but my question still stands.

Does the council employ traffic wardens any more?

They are now claiming it is a success because the water was far less wild inshore of the barrier!

Excuses, excuses, excuses.....
