A memorial bench will need to be repaired after an “insensitive” plaque related to a controversial beach issue was put there without permission.
The plaque that was placed on the bench reads: “In memory of Hoylake beach, from creation ‘til 2019, your sandy shores have been taken away but to get it back we will fight night and day.” It was spotted by local residents over the weekend and clearly makes reference to an ongoing row about how the beach should be managed.
Wirral Council said the bench was a paid-for memorial and it will now need to be repaired because of damage from the unauthorised plaque.
