When l was a teenager my friends and me used to go to Hilbre every Hilbre Sunday. We used to jump in the water most of the time jellyfish appeared so got out quickly! Now Hilbre is well maintained at the moment. and hope it stays that way??

I got sunstroke the first time on Hilbre Island.Never went back!

Great achievement. I have such fond memories of Hilbre

@friendsofhilbre have an open day on Sunday 11-4pm 😀

Just beware of the Stick-in-the-mud.

Great to see Wirral as aSpecial place.

I’ve recently joined the Friends of Hilbre Group , they are a great bunch of people to work with !

Wish I could live there.

I bet the Labour council still want to stick flats on it

Is that to pay to get birkenhead sorted seen as that's doubled

I think friends of Coronation gardens do memory plaques much cheaper. They work really hard looking after "the Corries"

I'm ok with commemorative plaques but it becomes a bit much when flowers and trinkets are left there too like they do in New Brighton. Theyare seats for everyone and not a grave or cemetery.

That's a lot of money for something you don't even own. There are other ways in which to honour a memory which will have a positive impact - plant trees, donate to the deceased's favourite charity etc.

R I P Wirral council

That's somewhat excessive.

Wow what a golden opportunity

One decent indelible sharpy ....job done...Hundreds saved !

Getting them in now, before the storms in October smash them to bits 👍

I want to go to beach, not cemetery

Gotta make money somehow lol 🤣

Maybe the revenue could be used to clear up dog poo and prosecute the owners. The promenade is a literal sh*t show.

Well, that’s one way to make some £££….

They've got to make up for the overspend I suppose... is the flood retention, sorry, prevention, actually no - retention wall long enough?

Should have listened to local residents and done your research, it cost a fortune on a brick wall that doesn't work!!.... they want to charge people to park down there, the town's trade is dying.... and now you want to ask for money from people to pay for a plaque on a wooden bench.... get rid of your overpayed staff, and bonuses, go out and about in the wirral and look at what is going on with all these stupid decisions being made and for once in your lives listen to your public....

The amount being charged is obscene. Especially as everyone is being crushed under the cost of living crisis. This is nothing more than an insensitive money making scheme designed to exploit grieving people. Shameful. 🤬

I think you are making a mistake promoting council ideas they are all flawed and not in the interest of us the public

Shocking taking advantage of grief! Shame on them.

Got to pay for something that doesn't work somehow I guess

Got to get their money someway .

That’s expensive tbh.

Don’t give them cretins any money
