Birkenhead Pool to Reopen
Fantastic news about the Osborne Pool at Birkenhead Pool and Leisure Centre! It will be opening in time for the July School Holidays.
Thankyou to everyone who has written to the Local Board in support of re-opening the pool. And a big thankyou to the Birkenhead Leisure team who have been working really hard to find a solution.
Details of the opening hours are still to come.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
