'It will be horrible' say people as their patience has 'snapped'

People fear vans being parked around a Merseyside seaside resort will be “horrible” when summer tourists arrive.

The company had previously looked to buy former playing fields near its current site on Cross Lane but this was rejected by Wirral Council. The company has now agreed a lease with the local authority to use the site of Wallasey’s former gas holders off Dock Road in Seacombe for two years and not to park its vehicles on the road once this was fully ready.

Teresa Maxwell who visits the area every day to walk her dog said the situation was “absolutely disgraceful,” adding: "Since Covid a lot of people are getting out walking and last year we were seeing how many people were using the beach. It’s lovely to see families coming down but they wouldn’t be able to do that because when you have got kids, you park on the side with access to the beach.”

Christine Ross said the council should look to bring in overnight parking to help deal with the issue. She said: “I don’t know what is going to happen in the summer, it’s going to be horrible,” adding: “We won’t be able to find anywhere to park. We would have to stop coming down. They will continue and there’s nothing to stop them parking everywhere.”

“This is a bit ridiculous but they have no obligation to remove them and the company has outgrown its premises. It’s a local employer so it should have been treated a bit better than it has been.”
