Have you ever parked on
Seacombe Promenade to take ship photographs and enjoy the view
across the Mersey? Soon the you will not be able to enjoy this
harmless pleasure.
Why? - Because Wirral
Metropolitan Borough Council does not want you to!
The small notice tied to a pole
outside the Seacombe Ferry Terminal will have gone unnoticed by many
- and most will not realise what is about to happen before the
promenade is closed to vehicles.
This is a very mean spirited
action by Wirral Council - many people choose to park here and it is
one of the very few places overlooking the Mersey where one can sit
in you car and enjoy uninterrupted views across the river.
The decision to ban vehicle
access is somewhat mystifying, is not as though there is a problem
with heavy traffic. The sign says that a statement of the
council's reasons for making the order can be inspected at the Town
Hall.
One can only assume that the
reason is only very pathetic as this section of the promenade is a
cul-de-sac as vehicles are only allowed to drive to a point just
beyond the Mersey Tunnel Ventilation Station, therefore, the area
does not see heavy traffic anyway.
I would urge anyone who enjoys
parking in this area writes with their objections to
