A new voice for New Ferry
CALLING all Residents, businesses and
community groups, what's going on in New Ferry? Groups are now coming together
to create a new local voice for the Town. Early on in 2016, 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, on the
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
