CONCERN is growing for the welfare of a woman from Birkenhead who was reported missing earlier this week. 

Anita Stevenson was last seen by her partner at their home in Bebington Road at around 11.30am on Tuesday.

Her family have today released a picture of her in the hope she will be traced.

Anita is 39 years old, 5ft 8ins, medium build, with shoulder length blonde hair and a pale complexion.

When last seen she was wearing black Nike leggings, a white t-shirt and a royal blue lightweight Adidas jacket.

It is believed she has links to Moreton having lived there previously, and the Bradford area of West Yorkshire.

Family and police are becoming increasingly concerned for her wellbeing and are appealing to Anita or anyone who knows of her whereabouts to contact officers.

Call police on the non-emergency 101 line quoting log number 0902 of October 18, or contact the Missing Persons charity on 116 0000.
