Wirral is undergoing significant change, with large-scale regeneration programmes planned across the borough. Aligned to this, Wirral Council and partners have been developing infrastructure projects to ensure Wirral continues to be safe. We will continue to work with colleagues from the National Probation Service and Merseyside Police to support their Integrated Offender Management refresh strategy.
Linked with change is ambition to provide opportunities that help our residents to live happy, healthy, independent, and active lifestyles. We will continue to work with a wide range of providers, including commercial, voluntary and community groups as well as other public sector organisations to collectively re-imagine how we can make active and healthy opportunities a part of everyone’s life choices.
