    What a contrast

    I went for a walk around Sefton Park yesterday as I was in the area. It is the second Liverpool park that I have visited in the past month, the previous one was Everton Park. Both of these parks were clean and tidy, shrubs kept trimmed, grass cut everywhere, weeds removed from all the shrubbery and flower beds, water ponds/lakes kept clean, no rubbish lying about, no dogs mess, even lights along the pathways had been installed. I saw a council worker needlessly blowing loose leaves from the pathways, fallen trees and branches from the storm had already been attended to and there was no graffiti on the statues nor the palm house. A unique addition were a flock of parakeets.

    I bet these parks do not have to rely on the sincere efforts of Voluntary park keepers struggling with low funding. Southport parks are busier than those we visited in Liverpool - but one can see where money is spent.

    As usual trying to promote your BS that Southport money funds Liverpool, just to be clear the two parks you rave about are operated by Liverpool City Council, absolutely sod all to do with Southport.

    Southport is in Sefton MBC, which is part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority that has powers over transport, economic development and regeneration.

    Iit was founded in April 2014, covers a vast area, not merely Southport, and brings considerable benefits to those living within and, indeed, outside its area coverage.

    The transport policy of the LCRCA is provided by Merseytravel, a duty that dates back to the early 1990s.

    Great artist this chap using his sense of humour and bad publicity to his advantage, despite his personal choices which are nobody’s business but his own there’s no denying he is a top star, it just goes to show talent is talent regardless .
