Golf club slams pitch plans as 'cruel, unfair, and undemocratic'

A Wirral golf club has slammed plans to turn greenbelt into pitches as “cruel, unfair and undemocratic.”

Keith Marsh, from Brackenwood Golf Club, said he was “very disappointed” Wirral Council had put forward a proposal again to create between eight and 12 playing pitches on the Brackenwood Golf Course near Bebington.

The golf course, one of 11 on the Wirral, was closed down in 2022 as part of sweeping budget cuts that year. Since then the golf club has been looking after it while Wirral Council decides whether to let the golf club take over or use it for something else.
