CAMPAIGNERS trying to save a landmark church in New Brighton say they expect to take the battle to court after the Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury confirmed it has no intention of re-opening Ss Peter and Paul's.
The campaign group SOUL (Save Our Unique Landmark) won the first round when the Vatican "court" known as the Congregation of the Clergy found in their favour earlier this year. This written decision is reproduced below.

TORY group leader Jeff Green has pressed Wirral's borough solicitor for more information about how and why some people got to see the confidential draft report on the inquiry into the council's library closure plans.

In an email which at least matches borough solicitor Bill Norman's for length, Cllr Green's anger at being excluded from the fact-checking and comments on the draft report is evident.

You can see Cllr Green's email in full, below, but some highlights include:

Asking Bill Norman: "Can you confirm to me in writing that in your judgement the content of the draft report and any associated communication about the conclusions and recommendations have no impact or bearing on the way Council needs to approach policy formation? And played no part in the Council's subsequent decision not to close the 11 libraries?"

Below is Wirral Council borough solicitor Bill Norman's response to Tory leader Cllr Jeff Green's letter about who has seen library inspector Sue Charteris' report into Wirral's now abandonded library closure plans, and why they were chosen.

It includes some interesting points - one or two of which I shall highlight, in no particular order.
