Wirral coastal strategy
Thanks to Don Naylor for alerting me to the Wirral Coastal Strategy which is detailed on this Wirral Council page.The purpose of the exercise is to produce a Strategy Document for the Wirral Coast, focusing on coastal erosion and flood risk. You have until the end of August to complete the online questionnaire. The coastline of Hoylake is arguably one of its greatest assets – have your say on how you think it should be managed.
