More than that I can't find any words other than, the cllr for tourism and leisure must have found money nobody else can. Last edited by granny; 15th Sep 2018 10:29pm.

At some point they have to accept responsibility and be held to account, if they cant then we should get rid there no value added at WBC

When they moved their training ground from Ingleborough Road to Leasowe. I don't know what the final agreement was but in 2014 its was stated:- "Creation of two full size football pitches and one youth pitch to the west of the site for local community use" and also:- "No development shall commence until a scheme which sets out management arrangements for the use of the car parking and changing facilities to serve the community pitches in the west of the application site has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority (after consultation with Sport England). The car parking and changing provision shall thereafter be managed in accordance with the approved scheme" Last edited by diggingdeeper; 22nd Sep 2018 10:10pm.
