Wirral's Members of Parliament have demanded an urgent meeting with the Home Secretary as they seek to tackle the growth of "corrosive" organised crime across the peninsular.
A letter has been sent to Suella Braverman following the tragic fatal shooting of Elle Edwards, who was killed at the Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey Village on Christmas Eve. Connor Chapman will stand trial over the murder of the 26-year-old in the summer.
The shooting has shocked and caused anger in the local community and there have been calls by the Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell for police “to be relentless” in getting guns off the streets.
