Conway Street land: petition to Wirral Council

At last night's full council meeting I presented a petition regarding the ongoing disgrace that is the vacant land on Conway Street adjacent to the Wirral Multicultural Centre. 75 local residents signed the petition which reads:

Re: open land bordered by Conway Street, Simpson Street and Parkfield Avenue, Birkenhead. 

Since this land was sold by Wirral Council it has become a source of blight and embarrassment to the local community. We are dismayed at the council's failure to control the actions of the land owner and restore the condition of this land.  We, the undersigned, therefore call upon Wirral Council to use all appropriate powers, including compulsory purchase, to bring an end to this situation.
