They are on the planning website

A small summery https://newferryonline.org.uk/regeneration-plans

We used to have a reasonably good planning portal, then the Government appear to have tried to make a national one, then the Council came up with this one. Although it has improved slightly over the last year or so, it is still pretty much unusable.

A while ago I was checking out one in Chestnut Grove, I knew it was on the system but the search point blank refused to find it under Chestnut Grove. Once found it was addressed as Chestnut Grove so I have no idea why the search failed, another hour of my life wasted.

Some of the larger projects have masses of documents which are untitled without preview and you have to download them all one-by-one to view them.

Loads of historic records that were digital in the past have now been replaced with a small summary.

That's the trouble with having one company as the contractor for all IT, everything is a compromise and little common sense, the contract is signed and you get what you are given.

Why is their on-line so appallingly bad? You need all sorts to information you will not have if you want to see what is planned for a new development

Surely the sensible approach would be to have a map of the Wraal so people could click on a location and see what planning applications exist for it.

Surely this isn't beyond the wit of man, and at low cost too.?

I expect the existing system has cost us taxpayers a great deal of money to make it as bad as it is.

What will replace the old quick-save building and crumbling row of shops now being demolished in New Ferry?

Are there any published plans lof what they will look like?

Thanks for that Derek.

I was well-acquainted with Scouse plural Yous though discouraged on the west side of the then-based Wirral part of Cheshire.

But the Neston-derived Yuse was most certainly used in the singular form.

That fact is established. What I was after was how Heswall got the monica "Yowler" and why. But as been said already; just a derogative term.

I was a pupil at Galtres School from 1949 to 1956, when I went on to Birkenhead School. We did indeed wear purple caps and blazers, with a grey owl as badge. The building was a rambling Victorian house which was rather depressing, but the outside play area was wonderful: a small wood, a playing field at the bottom of a deep slope, and the foundations of a demolished building, which acted as an outdoor stage for school entertainments. I received a good education, and most of the teachers were pleasant. I particularly liked Mrs Patterson and a young temporary teacher, Mrs Ditchfield. I was, however, terrified of Mrs Benson, the headmistress, who could frequently be seen walking around with a cane under her arm, which she would frequently use. I and two friends were caned for playing at snowballs after school. I used to dread school: my grandchildren are far happier in their schooling.

For a while in my twenties, I went out with the daughter of one of my Galtres teachers. She had the bright idea of arranging a reunion with Mrs Benson. Within thirty seconds of the commencement of our meeting, Mrs Benson had started to tell me off.

I wonder what happened to them all. Is Mrs Ditchfield still alive?
