CONCERN is growing for the welfare of 57-year-old man from Wallasey who was reported missing yesterday. 

Police say William Charlton's recent behaviour has been out of character for him.

It is not known exactly where William has been living recently, though police believe he is still in the Wallasey area.

He is 5ft 7 ins tall, of a stocky build with a bald head and some grey hair. It is not known what he is wearing.

Police and his family would urge William or anyone who knows of his whereabouts to get in touch as a matter of urgency.

Police would advise the public not to approach William given his recent erratic behaviour and instead contact them immediately.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101 and ask for the Wirral Control room.
