Forums Forums Local News stabbing on Poulton road....

Softy - it's the members that make the site what it is so don't ever feel that you have to keep your concerns or opinions to yourself!! Anyone who reports events that are going on around the Wirral does not do so with any malice, generally as a rule, sources of information are cited and first hand accounts. I'd say 99% are handled with care as they are sensitive and affect locals, some of whom post on here. I know that first hand from a story from last year where I was present when the Police asked someone to identify the body. I refrained from posting on that and avoided the topic as it was far too close to home. Some members knew about that and were nothing but respectful.

Unfortunately, due to the very nature of the site, and I'm sure Mark will correct me if I am wrong, the majority of incidents that hit here as they happen so to speak, are local and may be people we either know or love. When things concern people we care about, it is dealt with in a dignified and respectful manner. I don't think any of us wish to upset those close to the individuals that are concerned in any incident.

What I am trying to say is keep posting Softy!! You, and everyone else are what makes us a "family" on here!!

maybe we should have some very simple ground rules e.g. not mentioning names.

I guess its a controversial subject, always will be.

I hate it when stories refer to Poulton and Seacombe as 'Wallasey' - they should make it totally seperate!!!

I live in Wallasey but nowhere near these areas and have never (touch wood) seen ANY trouble like this. Having said that (I live towards the Grove Road end of Warren Drive) the ... seems to be rapidly spreading and you tend to see a lot of shite around Wallasey Village now - you never used to.

I certainly will never find a reason to drive into Poulton.

"Poulton, New Ferry and no fixed abode" - surprise me.

Unless its the Poulton here in Spital... Lovely Place

Speechless!
Not everyone is bad, y'know!

i just want to say that i recently moved to a road just off poulton road quite close to where this took place. my neighbours are so friendly and quiet and i really enjoy living here. i just want people to know that there are still a good few decent people living here.

Hear hear daisy kat and welcome to wiki!
Im still annoyed....grrrrr

We know that ladies, its the few blunt blades in the rack that spoil it for the sharp ones

Welcome to wiki

Im a Wallasey Village resident but not a wallasey native and I thought Leasowe and Moreton were still Wallasey aswell.

To be honest why is Seacombe, Egremont, Poulton, Liscard, New Brighton still refered to as Wallasey, surely they are established and populated enough to hold their own as a town, the same as moreton has.

The area of Bebington includes Port Sunlight and Spital but they dont use the bebington name.

Wallasey should just refer to the Wallasey Village and close surroundings, would even contest that the Grove road end of Warren drive to either be Liscard or New Brighton.

Nothing against these other area's just helps to be specific when talking locations, its like when someone rings up radio city and they say where you from and they reply Liverpool, gee george. Its a large area can we have a bit of clarity.

You can go back to the 1950s and anybody who lived the other side of the docks from Birkenhead where reffered to as living in Wallasey.

i live down the road from this an have lived on grove road wallasey, warren drive new brighton and manor road liscard and till now i would quite happily wander about poulton at night alone on my way to places or home but i wouldnt on grove road due to the rapes and suicides or manor road due to violent people, perminante car crashes and shootings where as on warren drive your parked car isnt safe from hit and runs and break ins so why is it that for the first time in as far as i can remember something happens round here it sticks and everywhere else its ok
an if we're getting pedantic about boundaries i live in somerville
Madness is starting in the poorest areas and pretty soon itll be everywhere no jobs no money nothing good an no moral what did people expect to be the outcome?

i have often wondered about this? 'wallasey' is too large. I was under the impression that the post office changed 'it' about 15 years ago, around the time our postcode changed to 'ch' ?? Might be wrong....

I disagree thats its always been rough round here. I live off Poulton Road close by to where this incident and the Hillcroft Road incident recently reported occurred. Born and raised in Seacombe and Wallasey for (just) over 40 years so I've seen lots of change in social behaviour - including my own.

I was never afraid to walk through central park in the dead of night after dancing my socks off and a couple of 50p glasses of stella in Christys. Now I would think twice before going down the road to the shop - stone cold sober - for a pint of milk after it gets dark.

I would hazard a guess that in the last twenty years or so my generation (unfortunately) seem to have bred an entire army of workshy drug/alcohol addled antisocial w*nkers who are in turn breeding their own litters of same. The law is a joke when dealing with these kind of people and so they flourish.

Having said that there are still plenty of the old-school variety of conscientious and law abiding parents too that almost manage to avoid them - for now. Perhaps one day some balance will be restored but frankly I think it could go either way.

Sorry about the rant and yeah its late - two nights lost sleep in the last 48 hours because of the damn police helicopter - and this kind of thing encourages me onto my soapbox
