Wirral Radio
Dear Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council,
Has Wirral Council ever given funding in support of Community Wirral Radio Station based in Leasowe? If so could you please provide a figure.
Yours faithfully,
Phil Simpson
Dear Mr Simpson
We write in response to your Freedom of Information request in which you
asked:
"Has Wirral Council ever given funding in support of Community Wirral
Radio Station based in Leasowe? If so could you please provide a figure."
In 2005 Cabinet agreed to facilitate the development of the premises at
Leasowe Community Centre, which enabled the expansion of 7 Waves Community
Radio, both in terms of broadcasting hours and training opportunities.
A bid for European Grant funding was successful and we received £1.037m.
The remaining cost of the scheme was met by Arena Housing. However there
was no direct cost to the Council.
We trust this information is of interest to you.
Yours sincerely
Lynette Paterson
