A Wirral councillor has suggested raking could resume on Hoylake beach, a source of huge controversy in recent years.
Since 2019, when Wirral Council decided to stop all management of the beach after it was strongly criticised for spraying it with glyphosate, the policy of leaving it to nature has been a source of much debate locally.
While some say the local authority should not try to work against nature, others believe the growth of grass on the beach is destroying it as an amenity for families to enjoy and interventions such as ‘raking’ are needed to remove the grass.
