A new voice for New Ferry
RESIDENTS, businesses and community
groups in New Ferry are now coming together to create a new local voice for the
area. Early in 2016, the Wirral South Constituency Committee invited businesses
and community organisations to a meeting to discuss the setting up of a new Town
Team for the area. The meeting was a success, with groups including:- Port
Sunlight Village Trust, New Ferry Residents' Association, New Ferry Village
Hall, and New Ferry Rangers FC, all turning up. Other organisations, including:-
Grove Street Primary School and St. Mark's Church, couldn't make the meeting,
but have indicated their support and involvement in the project. Cllr Tracey
Pilgrim, Chair of Wirral South Constituency Committee said:- "It's never
been more important for people to be able to have their say on things that
matter in their neighbourhoods. New Ferry is a busy community with issues that
are common to other Towns, in Wirral, as well as some unique ones of its own,
and the Town Team will reflect on these issues and find solutions in partnership
with residents, businesses and community groups. If you want to make a
difference in your local community, we want to hear from you." Through
this project, a New Ferry Traders' Association is also being formed, to make
sure that businesses can have their say. The Town Team will work with
representatives from the Police and Fire Services and the Council's Anti Social
Behaviour, Youth Services and Outreach teams, and the Wirral Chamber of
Commerce. If you are a member of a local community organisation, a business or a
resident of New Ferry, please contact Shannon Kennedy on:- 0151 666 3076 or
email
them to find out more about how you can help your local area.
