Tough new rules have been implemented on one estate after a shooting.
Merseyside Police have issued a new public spaces protection order (PSPO) in Woodchurch to tackle antisocial behaviour and crime. It follows a shooting on December 3 where a man was shot in the legs close by on Orrets Meadow Road.
Earlier this year in March, there was also a drive by shooting in full view of children on Hoole Road that left a man fighting for his life. Over the weekend another man was attacked on Newark Close, on the other side of the M53 between Noctorum and the Woodchurch estate.
