Dear Ms Kuhlmann-Muller

We write further to your email of 23 April 2018 expressing dissatisfaction
with the Council’s original response to your Freedom of Information
enquiry regarding management of Grange Hill.

Your correspondence has been passed to me to review and respond.  Please
see below the Council’s additional responses to the specific points
highlighted in your email below in bold and we trust that this clarifies
the Council’s position.

1. How many residents responded to each of the consultation?

Query – “You didn't  give exact  numbers and also only attached 
information re the extensive  memorial garden  refurbishment 
consultation. No  references  are made re the Grange Hill management plan
consultation in December 2017”.

Response - There are no exact numbers recorded for the memorial garden
consultation, however our earlier response describes the replies.  There
were two replies received to the Grange Hill management plan consultation
in December 2017.

2. What is a breakdown  of views  re each consultation?

Query – “Same comments as above. Management plan is not mentioned.”

Response - There were two replies received on the Management plan in 2017.

3. What is the decision  WBC  has taken  as a result of  the
consultations?

Query -

“What is the name of the independent organization which carried  out the
ecological survey?

Who pays for it?

What are we the  exact costs?

When will  the independent  report  be publicised and where?”

Response - Please note that these are new questions.  The company is
Cheshire Ecological Services (CES), part of the Cheshire Wildlife Trust. 
Wirral Council Parks Service has paid for the study at a cost of £1,635.
There are no plans to publicise the report at the moment.

4. Can you please publicise the latest  management plan and volunteers
work program for Grange Hill?

Query – “In previous  years, the updated  management plan and work
Programme was sent to all  people who took part  in the consultation  and
stakeholders  via Email  and Only  a few weeks  after the consultation
closed. Why have residents  / stake holders  still not been sent the
results  almost  4 months  after the consultation  closed?”

Response - This information has been sent out to people on the Council
email mailing list

Query – “By when does WBC intend  to publicise  the management plan? Will
stakeholders  be informed?”

Response - The plan has been publicised on the Council’s internet site,
and people who requested to be informed by email in the past have been
notified as a courtesy.  The plan is also available in the public library
at West Kirby.  The plan remains unchanged from 2016.  The work programme
has been reviewed and no changes have been made.

We hope this further information is of use to you. If you remain
dissatisfied, you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office
who can be contacted at [1]https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/

Yours sincerely
