ON the evening news we had both the United Nations' Secretary General and Sir David Attenborough warning us yet again about the disaster that climate change will create.
Wirral Council has itself declared a climate change emergency.
However, the council is still pursuing the creation of a third sea wall on West Kirby promenade, in concrete, that will generate untold of tons of CO2. We are not told how many tons in the Wirral View article about this “scheme”.
Surely this is totally inappropriate in a “climate change emergency” or do I misunderstand the Council’s definition of climate change emergency?
Further, to spend £6m of taxpayers’ money generating tons of CO2 would seem disgraceful mis-use of public funds.
The damaging effects of COVID and lockdowns together with the established needs of New Ferry, Seacombe, Liscard and Bidston to name a few wards, are far more real needs.
Councillors need to get a grip on this uncontrolled “scheme” and stop this waste of our money, and direct support where it will be effective.
Neil Parry,
