A Wirral councillor has spelled the name of the town he represents incorrectly in a leaflet for the upcoming local elections.
In the first of a series of pledges to voters printed on the leaflet Cllr Tony Cox, who represents Hoylake and Meols for the Conservatives on Wirral Council, said he would “work to return an amenity beach to Holake.” Cllr Cox, along with his fellow Conservative councillors in the ward, wants Wirral Council to rake Hoylake beach to remove grass and restore ‘golden sands’.
Since 2019, when Wirral Council stopped all maintenance of the beach after it was slated for spraying it with glyphosate, a passionate local debate has opened up. Local Conservative councillors have sided with the sandy beach argument, while Labour has favoured a natural beach.
