Following a meeting with Roger Clalvert and Jackie Smallwood of Parks & Leisure at Wirral Councils Hamilton Street offices in Birkenhead. It was confirmed that Wirral Parks were going to put up three thousand pounds to add to the six thousand five hundred pounds that we have raised and that would be used to install a new slide & combination unit with new safety floor surface. It is hoped that this will be in place before the summer starts. This is only stage 1 of our plans and we aim to continue raising funds to further improve the play facilities.
