What a busy and fun time the last month or so has been.
The club has been a hive of activity, the Tuesday / Maintenance group have been very busy making improvements to the club and the outside especially being focussed on.
Adam has been active in highlighting the implications to the new parking ban on the Wallasey Beach Community.
Dave and the sailors have started to plan for for this years sailing.
The Kite Surfers have been taking every opportunity to get out and enjoy the water.
The Bank holiday Weekend has been a blast wonderfully summed up by Adam
Awesome Bank holiday weekend 🙂 Probably one of the biggest weekend Wallasey Beach CIC has ever seen! Open all weekend, Food Market, members socials and private hires. Big spends over the bar, loads of membership sign ups, awesome coffee and amazing staff. Word is getting out about how amazing the club is. If we can keep this up through the year, we are going to be in a healthy situation 🙂 Also big Shout out to Vicky for donating 5 sets of tables and chairs in the back garden ❤ Adam Crouch – Exec Director – Finance.
It would really help the clubs google reach if everyone who visits the club leave us a Google Review. Only takes a mo and would be much appreciated. Adam.
Halt the Proposed Parking Ban on Kings Parade and Coastal Drive
https://chng.it/cLpqz875PY – Please sign
The council are bringing in a ‘temporary’ 18 month ban on all parking along the prom. Please sign this petition to get our voice heard. The local community have been in communication with the council and local councillors to unsure this didn’t affect the local area (but have been ignored)
As a local resident deeply invested in the vibrant life of New Brighton, Wallasey, I am alarmed by the council’s proposal to ban parking from 11pm – 6am along Kings Parade and Coastal Drive. This decision will not only affect me but also our local businesses, community groups, beach and water sports users.
Our beloved promenade and beach are integral parts of our community. They serve as gathering places for families, friends, tourists and locals alike. The proposed parking restrictions will make these areas less accessible to everyone who cherishes them.
Local businesses that rely heavily on tourist traffic will be hit hard by this ban. According to Visit Britain statistics (2019), seaside tourism contributes £8 billion annually to England’s economy with over 13 million trips made each year. By limiting access through this parking ban, we risk losing a significant portion of this revenue which supports our local economy.
Moreover, community groups that use these spaces for recreational activities like water sports or picnics would also face unnecessary hurdles in accessing facilities they have been using freely until now.
This is not just about convenience; it is about preserving the character of New Brighton and ensuring it remains a welcoming place for all who live here or come to visit.
We urge the council to reconsider their decision on this matter in light of its far-reaching implications for our town’s economy and social fabric. Please sign this petition if you believe in keeping New Brighton accessible for all.
