The painters have started to paint the inside of the Parade Gardens wall. Seems to me that both sides will need another coat. They haven’t yet finished painted the remaining railings black.
A group of neighbours in Lake Road got together recently and enjoyed their first Lake Road Ladies meal at the Green Lodge. I gather from Caroline England that about 20 people attended!
As reported in the national news, the Threshers off-licence chain has gone into administration and as a result there could be store closures and job losses. I will let you know if the Hoylake store is affected – or if you hear anything, get in touch.
The Hoylake & Meols In Bloom team have been busy again. The raised beds by the library, the large flower tubs and the flower boxes by the roundabout have all been planted-up with winter bedding plants.
It’s been quite unseasonal weather these last few days, but cooler and windy weather is on it’s way this weekend. Where are good local spots for taking photos of autumn scenes would you say?
Your green and grey bin day is likely to change in November, so look out for the revised calendar in your post soon and you can read more on this Wirral Council page. Â Our brown bin day recently changed too. Does everyone in Hoylake have the same bin day? Currently for us, green/grey bin day is every alternate Thursday.
Do you have a twitter account? Well, if you know what I’m talking about then feel free to follow twitter.com/hoylake and say hello. There are lots of other Wirral locals using twitter too so you might well know other people already twittering. I found out about the bin collections from twitter.com/visitwestkirby 🙂
As always, please send in your Hoylake news to:

What the gardens need more than painted masonry is some real gardening, this sunny south-facing wall used to be covered in climbing roses and the rough grass was a shrubbery and herbaceous border with lovely shelter houses and seats along its entire length.
Now the poor state of the masonry is even more evident. More worryingly, it looks like an invitation to graffiti artists and even if they keep away it’ll need painting on a frequent and regular basis or it will look shabbier than ever.
Nonetheless it’s encouraging to see that something is being done. Can the wonderful Hoylake & Meols in Bloom people encourage a return to a real garden?
