PLANS for al fresco dining at The Ravenscroft pub, in The Mount, have been
criticised by the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The pub’s owners want to extend the licence to allow alcohol to be served in the
outdoor area. But the Jehovah’s Witnesses say it will create too much disturbance at
the nearby worship hall.
A NEW health centre will be built at the former Warrens Nursery, in Thingwall.
Wirral Primary Care Trust and West Wirral Group Practice finally got their scheme
through the council after an eight year planning wrangle.
The multi-million pound project will replace surgeries in Heswall, Irby and Thingwall.
Marie Curie fundraiser Colette Byrne said: “The Thurstaston walk has really
exceeded our expectations, this year we had just over 60 walkers who raised an
amazing pledged amount of £3,500!’
For more info contact Colette on 801 1405 or colette.byrne@mariecurie.org.uk
Money raised from the Thurstaston Walk will be used to help the Marie Curie Wirral
home nursing service provide practical nursing care to people seriously ill with 21
cancer in the comfort of their own homes.
