A reduced grass cutting programme is in place across Wirral after proposals were agreed to reduce the maintenance budget – with a positive knock-on effect of being able to encourage wildflowers and attract bees and butterflies.

The new programme means that some green spaces will be maintained less often, or not at all, until April 2022. In all general areas of parks and public open spaces, grass cutting will be reduced from 13 to 10 cuts per year.

Voters across the Liverpool City Region, of which Wirral is a part, have just over a week until the 2021 local elections.

As well as elections for council, the Liverpool mayoralty and the city region metro mayor, voters in Merseyside's five boroughs will also pick a new Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).

Wirral Council could completely change next week as huge elections for the borough take place.
