Wirral Council has given an update on planned closures taking place next Monday to mark the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
On Saturday, it was announced the Queen's state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey on September 19, with King Charles confirming the day is to be a bank holiday. A number of venues across Merseyside have already announced they will shut, with supermarket giants such as Sainsbury's and Aldi and local National Trust sites and museums among those closing their doors as a mark of respect to the late monarch.
Earlier this week, Wirral Council confirmed all but one of their meetings over the next two weeks have been cancelled or postponed owing to the national period of mourning. Following a number of queries from local residents, the local authority has now offered clarification on how the bank holiday will affect building closures, planned weddings and bin collections.
