Protection and restoration of Gilroy Scrape
Dear Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council,
On 22 September 2017, the Local Wildlife Sites Partnership decided to designate an "Alert Status" for the area including the "scrape" field and Gilroy Nature Park in West Kirby. They drafted the boundary, using the one that Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service proposed in 2009.
Could you please let me know, whether this status is officially recognized and active now?
Could you please also let me know the outcome of talks with RSPB and the landowner re the restoration of the scrape scheduled for October.
Yours faithfully,
Birgitta Kuhlmann-Müller
Dear Ms Kuhlmann-Muller

Answer: Yes it is.

Answer: There have been no further discussions with the landowner and RSPB
regarding the restoration of the scrape since the local sites partnership
meeting in September pending appointment of a replacement local RSPB site
manager for the Dee Estuary Nature Reserve.
