MY friend and I love South Wirral and visit as often as we can.

One favourite place of refuge over the years has been the West Kirby library.

We've spent many a happy hour there.

However after the recent refurbishments they have allowed a busy gym to open, directly above the library, with its attendant thumps and bangs.

Putting a gym directly above a library is the daftest thing we’ve heard in a long time.
