A report by the Interim Director of Corporate Services informed the Cabinet that the port/maritime sector remained an important part of Wirral’s economy.  Peel Ports had issued the “Mersey Ports Master Plan – a 20 year Strategy for Growth” for a period of public consultation between June and September 2011.  The report outlined the key ‘headlines’ from the Master Plan document and outlined the key issues which it was proposed should form the basis of the Council’s response to Peel Ports. 

RESOLVED:

That the Director’s Comments set out in section 5 of the report form the basis of the Council’s response to Peel Ports.
