It is an alternative to sitting back and waiting for Birkenhead and Wallasey crumble into oblivion.

It is an alternative to sitting back and waiting for Birkenhead and Wallasey crumble into oblivion. The alternative is to stop voting for local politicians who's idea's are past their sell by date, you get what you vote for. Liverpool has always tried to destroy this area from doing things to help it grow, as it's a local competition which it doesn't want, look into the history books. Don't think Peel Holdings are going to do anything for this area except to use it to make money for Peel Holdings, which I don't see as a problem except we all hope it produces jobs for the people of the area and doesn't stifle other competition.

I should think that the good people of Willaston would enjoy the idea of not being left out of the merger too.

I’m a long term resident of Wirral and love it here but I can’t see any reason for not having closer ties with Liverpool if it saved money and provided better services in the long run and got rid of the tunnel tolls.

Merging the two councils would on the face of it would make a great cost saving, maybe even enough to be able to make the tunnel free because you could not have a toll road separating the two halves of an integral area. I lived in two towns which came under Wirral council. Time and again people remarked at how the council were willing to take our council tax, but not in giving it back to investment - the towns (Leigh, Tyldesley and Atherton) were neglected in favour of Wigan. I'd imagine that would be the same here - Liverpool would get the money but Wirral would get the scraps.

<sarc>After all, the people who run Liverpool (and Wirral) are all such snow-white, honest-as-the-day-is-long folk, how could anything POSSIBLY go wrong?</sarc>
