Calls for posthumous award for Liverpool parks campaigner

A call has been made for a posthumous honour for a Liverpool parks campaigner who died recently.

Earlier this month, tributes were paid to Chrissie Byrne, chair and organiser of the Friends of Walton Hall Park, after she died at the age of 51. Chrissie was well known around the city for her passionate defence of Liverpool's parks and green spaces.

Leaders from across the city paid tribute to Chrissie’s impact across Liverpool, as well as former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Now, the city’s Liberal Democrat group is to ask Liverpool Council’s honours committee to consider granting a posthumous award of citizen of honour to Chrissie.
