WIRRAL Council has opened commemorative books at its Town Halls in Wallasey and Birkenhead.

The books will give local residents the opportunity to record their comments for the Hillsborough families.

They are situated in the foyer of both buildings and will be accessible from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, until May 13.

Wirral Council leader Cllr Phil Davies said: "On this most significant of days in their fight to discover the truth of what happened to their loved ones, our thoughts as ever are with the families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

“The determination and dignity they have shown during their long 27 year campaign is an inspiration for everyone who believes in justice.”

“The books will give Wirral residents the opportunity to pay their own tribute to those who tragically lost their lives and to those who steadfastly fought to protect their memory.”

The opportunity to leave written tributes will be open until May 13.

The books will be given to Liverpool City Council for them to present them to the groups representing the families.

The conclusion of the inquests earlier this week found that the 96 had been unlawfully killed and the behaviour of the fans played no part in the tragic events.
