133 photos of the 2016 Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool
Yesterday I was in Liverpool for the 2016 Chinese New Year celebrations. This year it’s the Year of the Monkey.
I’ll start off by making clear what connection it has to Liverpool City Council (as this blog is about public bodies) and first state the role that Liverpool City Council played in the 2016 Chinese New Year celebrations.
Firstly, there are a series of road closures that they have to get right as a lot of Chinatown in Liverpool and the surrounding roads around it are closed to traffic. There are also extra litter pickers going round.
As you can see from what’s in the background photos below of Great George Square, there are banners up about the City of Liverpool and the Mayor.
There are large crowds that attend, so Merseyside Police have police officers patrolling the crowds.
Transport wise major events like these require a lot of planning too.
The public sector has a huge role in making sure major events like these run smoothly.
I took 133 photos of the 2016 Chinese New Year festivities in Liverpool which you can view below. The photos below have been resized to 500 pixels wide so they display properly on this blog, but you can view the original high-resolution photos in this Flickr album.

G’day John
Talking about New Years who is up for re-election this year?
Ooroo
James
I can’t answer that until the candidates list is published nearer the election as some might decide not to stand for re-election.
However this is the list of councillors whose term of office ends in May 2016.
Bear in mind that even if someone else is elected, they carry on being a councillor for a few days after the election result is declared. Gives them a chance to clear their pigeon hole. 😀
Councillor Tom Anderson (Conservative) Greasby, Frankby and Irby
Councillor Chris Blakeley (Conservative) Moreton West & Saughall Massie
Councillor Jim Crabtree (Labour) Bidston and St James
Councillor George Davies (Labour) Claughton
Councillor Bill Davies (Labour) Rock Ferry
Councillor Leah Fraser (Conservative) Wallasey
Councillor Phil Gilchrist (Lib Dem) Eastham
Councillor Robert Gregson (Labour) New Brighton
Councillor John Hale (Conservative) Hoylake and Meols
Councillor Kathy Hodson (Conservative) Heswall
Councillor Anita Leech (Labour) Leasowe and Moreton East
Councillor Christina Muspratt (Labour) Bebington
Councillor Steve Niblock (Labour) Bromborough
Councillor Tony Norbury (Labour) Prenton
Councillor Matthew Patrick (Labour) Upton
Councillor Cherry Povall (Conservative) Clatterbridge
Councillor John Salter (Labour) Seacombe
Councillor Jean Stapleton (Labour) Birkenhead and Tranmere
Councillor Mike Sullivan (Labour) Pensby and Thingwall
Councillor Geoffrey Watt (Conservative) West Kirby and Thurstaston
Councillor Pat Williams (Lib Dem) Oxton
There are twenty-one in that list above so I’ve left one out.
What made me ask the was the article with the words zero tolerance and a photo of “Phil the Very Very Deluded Dill’s Ugly Twin Brother with the Comb over from Hell” carefully posed without the comb over showing.
And, of course I believe one of the vilest of them all, 100% venom, that thinks they named an art gallery after her.
Mate, if all of these are voted back in Wirral truly deserves what it gets.
Ooroo
James
At least a lot of the worst will still be there to face the music when it all comes to a head.

Ahh this is one about the Chinese New Year. You may be referring to this article last year when the Cabinet agreed zero tolerance on domestic violence?
Ahh I get your art gallery reference now, there’s a Williamson Art Gallery in Oxton isn’t there?

You will have to sharpen up if you are going to beat “Highbrow” at chess.
