Merseyside Police paid their £2,900 fee to ICO (the Information Commissioner’s Office) late in 2018 and risked a fine for doing so.

Remembering Srebrenica 11th July 2019 Wirral Change, Birkenhead L to R Steve Baker, Revd Mike Loach, Cllr Tom Usher, Ferdushi Mohshin, Neil Sledge, Mark Camborne and Inspector John Sacker

On Thursday afternoon (11th July 2019) Leonora and I got the bus to a Remembering Srebrenica event (jointly organised by Wirral Council and the Wirral Branch of the National Education Union) held at Wirral Change at 12 Saint Laurence Drive, Birkenhead, CH41 3JD starting at 4.00 pm.

The venue used to be part of St Laurences’ Catholic Primary School before the school closed in August 2010. Part of the former school is now used for Wirral Change, part of the rest of the site but with a different entrance is used by Tomorrow Womens Wirral and I don’t know what the rest is used for.
