Thanks to information from the public, another retailer has had its doors closed ❌

Birkenhead Bargains has been issued a three-month closure order after concerns were raised about activity at the premises.

Officers seized 1,340 illegal cigarette sticks and suspected children's toys that failed to meet safety regulations. The shop was also found to be selling age-restricted products, including BB guns, knives, bladed articles and butane gas, without effective measures to prevent sales to under-18s. BB guns and balaclavas were displayed together behind the counter.

This is the 27th closure order secured by Wirral Council since December 2025 as part of ongoing efforts to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.

More affordable homes could be on the way in Wirral. 🏡

Plans will be considered next week for us to acquire 38 new-build homes in Bromborough for social rent, helping meet growing demand for affordable housing and supporting local families in need.

The homes could be ready for occupation from later this year, with further properties completed in spring 2027.

📢 The green wheelie bin consultation is now live.

We want to hear your views on a proposal to move green bin collections from every two weeks to every three weeks.

Let us know if you think this could work and note any support you may need. This is your opportunity to offer any alternative options you think should be considered.

Should the green wheelie bins move to 3 weekly collections, residents with medical waste, more than 6 people in one household, and eligible households with two or more children using disposable nappies would still be able to apply for a larger green bin.

A 26th retail business in Wirral has been issued with a three-month closure order after almost 10,000 illegal ci******es, 2.95kg of hand-rolling to***co and unlicensed alcohol were discovered.

Tranmere Convenience Store on Borough Road, Birkenhead, had its doors shut under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

The illicit products seized had an estimated street value of £3,717 and a potential retail value of £10,679.

Wirral Magistrates' Court imposed the maximum permitted closure order, stating that it was necessary to prevent the identified nuisance and criminality from continuing or recurring at the premises.

Anyone who knows any stores selling illegal to***co and vapes should contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

After having her son, Liz decided it was time to finally stop smoking.
The fear of not being around to watch her son grow old was enough to make her ditch ci******es for good. And she still celebrates the achievement each year.

On the anniversary of quitting, Liz buys herself a present from the money she has saved. It started with a piece of art she thought she was too expensive and has since flown a plane.

Liz said: “Day-to-day, I had a really bad cough, especially in the mornings. I decided it was time to stop. The main thing is that I wanted my son to have a mum. If I carried on smoking the way I was, I thought I’d end up not being around when he was older.

“I’d saved a lot of money over the year. It was an achievement. I treated it as a non-smoking present. Every year, I have done that. Flying a plane was really good.”

Having started aged 17 and smoked around 20 ci******es a day, Liz is an example that anyone can stop with the right help. People can get help from A Better Life Wirral’s stop smoking service. It is free, friendly and can massively boost your chances of quitting for good.

🚌 New direct bus links to Arrowe Park Hospital and Clatterbridge Cancer Centre will launch from 25 October, helping more residents get to appointments, visit loved ones and travel to work more easily.

Cllr Paula Basnett, Leader of Wirral Council said:

"Access to good healthcare should never be made harder by a lack of transport. These new services will make it easier for residents across Wirral to reach Arrowe Park Hospital and Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, improving access to healthcare while supporting the staff who keep those vital services running''.
