Above is a picture of and video of Mayor Joe Anderson speaking in 2015 about Liverpool City Council ’s controversial plans for housing in Liverpool in a much loved park.

What’s in Wirral Council’s 96 page Hoylake Golf Resort contract (part 2)?

                                           

Earlier this year, as a result of a First-tier Tribunal case in which I was not a party (although I had made the original information request) I received a redacted copy of the 96 page Development Agreement between Wirral Borough Council and Nicklaus Joint Venture Group Limited that is for the Hoylake Golf Resort project (or Hoylake International Golf Resort as it’s referred to in the Development Agreement).

Tonight (19th March 2018) I will be asking at a public meeting of Wirral Council’s councillors the following question of Cllr Phil Davies about Hoylake Golf Resort:
