I am very sorry to inform you of the sad death of my Collegue Cllr. Suzanne Moseley(47).
First elected in 2003, mainly due to her concerns over the proposal to build a quarry close to her home. Environemental issue remained important for Suzanne who quickly became in further green issues and campaigns and was appointed to the Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority and, more recently, was our party’s spokesman on the environment.
Suzanne was an outgoing and popular person, she will be sadly missed.


Today I helped out at The Parish Church of St Elisabeth the New Martyr’s Heritage Open day.
Many regular readers will know that Leah, Karen and I opposed the application by Vodafone to install a mast on the junction of Trafalgar Road and King Street. I spoke to oppose the plans at the Planning Committee citing its closeness to a nursery as one of the many reasons why councillors should refuse the application. Unfortunately the application for the mast was passed at the Committee and the residents in that area of Egremont were stuck with another eyesore on their doorstep.


With seven out of ten of the former Woolworth shops in the UK still lying vacant, we are lucky that the shop in Liscard was quickly taken up by the discount store Poundland. The Poundland shop is now up and running and it was good to see that th company has recruited many of its staff for the store locally, providing some much needed jobs.
